Mud flaps put on the front but not the back as there are no OEM's for the F55 rear. Leaking valve stem replaced on a tire.
I have a diverter that fits over the top dash air vent that covers it and directs a small amount of air forward instead of a large amount upward. The vinyl covering has been working its way off and I glued the loose bits back on. It hooks onto the vent via a couple springs. Can't remember the name of the vendor I got it from, but I think they're no longer around, so glad I could fix it.
I went out today and picked up 5 gal. of Meth for the Dragon and put my much louder exhaust on. Only weeks to go.
I took a little excursion up towards Yosemite, to about the 4000' level, with the Valley British Auto Club. We all took the hour long ride on the Sugar Pine RR narrow gauge logger train, enjoyed a nice and peaceful picnic lunch and an equally enjoyable cruise back down the hill to Fresno/Clovis via the picturesque back roads of the Sierras... Had a great time with a great bunch of folks!
Today I received the CD changer I bought. Another install before the Dragon. I just wish I had the car to put it in already. :nonod: After the dragon...Aux input and bluetooth.
Drove the MINI in to work today.... Wrapping up the pricing on a nice job.... Had to take a break around 2:30.... My head was spinning from number crunching... Pulled out and fired up the push mower... Mowed around the parking lot.. Decided to mow the front lot of the two houses next to the shop.. Hey.....and while I was it it, I mowed Nathan's backyard... Now he can throw a blanket back there and get an "all over" tan.... Nathan.... The Columbus finest have a little blue traffic copter.... So wear your RayBans and give them a big smile...
Took the Rat-MINI out for another shakedown run and some pic's... Everywhere I went was the same, 30 seconds of fun before coming around a corner and finding myself stuck in a line of cars going 3 MPH due to idiots who wont move their bicycles and let the cars pass! It took nearly an hour to go from the bottom of Lookout Mountain to the top... Its only a couple miles and even doing the posted 20 MPH speed limit should only take 15-20 minutes!
I hate when that happens! Those times are when you need to be driving something with a passenger door you don't mind puting another dent in. Oh, excuse me..... That's my road too your ride'n on!
I just wish the state would classify cyclists more along the lines of motor vehicles than pedestrians... And enforce the rules the cyclists are supposed to follow. Sure they have signs that say for them to stay single file, but a pack of 10+ bikes taking up the entire lane moving at the speed of stink is the norm here.
I love when they ride in packs of 10. It's like they are tempting you as a group to try and move them. What they do not realalize they are making it so easy to get a max score. :ihih::lol: Pedestrians = 1 point Cyclists = 5 points Pack of 10 cyclists = 50 points max score.
Oh no not bicycle talk! You guys know this will blow up in a minute. It will sound like "thats not funny" "you shouldn't joke about hitting bikes" DAVE:lol:
Oh I know that will happen sometime tomorrow:lol: I do not hit cyclist because I value my car more then them. Plus they are a pain to get all the blood and bones stuck from under the car. Also what do you do with a collection of twisted up bike frames?
