    I walked by my classic shaking my head, thinking what the hell is that car cover doing sitting in a wad on top of it!

    Actually slightly squeeling tires are probably at just the perfect slip angle for grip.....:D

    Just did an oil change on the Justa. Not used a drop since the last change. :D:Thumbsup: Is it just me, but is that dipstick the crappiest thing ever "designed"?

    If you like that one, pull the dipstick out of an 08 clubman. I've learned to deal with them instead of spending $79. on an aftermarket one.

    17 year old son (Mr mustang) has been giving me a hard time about how great Mustangs are compared to say a MINI!! This is the son that always goes to the Dragon with me. But still has to trash talk. I have told him we will bring the Mustang this year but that has not slowed him down.
    Well Yesterday I get a call "dad I have a flat and with the spare on the traction control keeps turning on" No problem I will be come fix the tire just wait at school.
    So I get my tools together put them in the MINI and go.
    It sure was fun to rub it in that a MINI had to come bail the mighty Mustang out of trouble!:D

    Ha! some times I told you so are the best words on earth.:devil:

    He's a great kid though!

    He is at an age where even though they don't know everything, they think they do. Hang in there Dad! :Thumbsup:

    There is only one problem with that. I might just keep going till I get home and stick you with a 02. But at least its chili red.:D

    Had some downtime....opened the mod vault & finally did this ancient TT boot mod.

    [​IMG]

    Amazed it needed no cutting like many had w/ the Tiburon Tuscani boot. Just had to sleeve a half inch fuel hose through the boot. Perfect fit, just another bad pic.:D

    Gave the MINI another day off since it was so darned nice. Took a nice country drive in the roadster for BBQ & then some ice cream. Swell drive with Mrs Honey. :D

    All you folks already switching from summer rubber. I guess you know something I don't know. Thanksgiving is my traditional swap tires date.

    Had the R60 in to the dealer since the car was telling me I had some brake issue. Turns out it was an issue with the car's "brain". A software flash fixed that up. They also did the oil change and did wiper blade replacement as part of the service since they had it in. Got a loaner for a day and paid zero out of pocket. Very pleased with this customer service!

    Yesterday I took my MINI out for a nice run to Lowes and picked up a sprayer and other stuff to clean our deck.

    Yesterday I power washed and chemically cleaned our deck for Winter. I also did my neighbors deck which has never been done and he could not believe how well it came our. :D

    Today I washed both cars and put mine back in the garage after I ran a few errands.

    Tomorrow is a trip to Helix for a few things. :Thumbsup:
