What did you do with your MINI today?

My girlfriend gave me a few parts for christmas!

-canton racing coolant reservoir
-She had my shop manager send my supersprint header, high flow cat and GP intercooler off to Swaintech! The header and cat are being ceramic coating, the intercooler is getting their heat dissipating coating. I am not sure if that will do anything for cooling, but it was nice of her!


I bought my mini her own present:
Getting a full setup from Jan @ RMW.
-ported polished head with oversized inconel valves and race springs and ceramic coating
-Cam
-injectors
-RMW tune

 

Nice!

 

parked in the garage at 7:20am when I got home from a 12 hour shift at work

 

I went out to the garage and told Walter that he should be able to play

tomorrow before the wet weather hits.

 

Today I pulled my MINI out of the garage so I had room to take down the outdoor Christmis lights and put them away.

Since my wife saw my car outside she had me take her to Taget for 70% off CHRISTMAS stuff. Ugh. :incazzato::mad2: Anyway after going to the empty store I took her out for Lunch and we cam home and took a nice nap.

 

That's nice of you to do that for her, Dave.

Nap huh.....?

 

Yeah it was a real nap. lol

Most of my friends know not to call or come over on a Saturday afternoon because I am napping.

 

This is Thursday.

 

I know but for me its a "free paid Saturday". :lol:

 

I have always had an afternoon nap.

Mom really knew her stuff when she introduced that to me!

 

I used to take a lunchtime snooze when I was still in the firehouse. But then, I never got much sleep there.

 

Made my front plate mount

front plate mount :biggrin5:

 

Cleaned my garage and went to Home Depot to pick up a new garage light.

 

Removed stripes

Gone are the stripes. Next will be the headlights and chrome trim

 

I actually drove mine a fair bit today. Hmm...that was fun.

 

Put Rainex on my windshield. Drives all the other drivers around me crazy when I go whipping up the highway without windshield wipers on. :ihih:

 

Last Saturday, we led 27 MINIs on a club ride (check-point in 'downtown' Martindale, Texas) to the Dr. Pepper Museum in Waco... where we met up with about 80 other MINIs from Dallas, Ft. Worth, Houston, Midland, Lubbock, and Abilene (our group was from San Antonio with a few from Austin).

 

Ahh..The Waco Run. I miss doing those.

The MINI did nothing today but sit out in the cold and get snowed on.

 

Dont feel bad, all the crud melted off of the Porker today... Man it needs a bath!

 

It has grown.
