    Ordered R56 rear trailing arms and left brake pipe line. Spent a ton of time messaging and on the phone. Almost had a stroke trying to get the hardware for the rear trailing arms. Still haven't solved that one.

    All this, and my MINI is 2,054 miles away.

    Colin or Wellzy may be able to get you the $30 washers. (Or make them)

    Just installed the passenger side seat mat emulator, buckle chime defeat, and resistors in the airbag socket to get ready for the latest mod. :ihih:

    On that note, if anyone is in need of a seat mat emulator... let me know. Because I'm a dumb@$$... I ordered two. Not realizing I only needed one for the passenger seat only. If you are heading to the dragon, i'll have the extra one with me.

    Doubt it will work on an R60, but if I keep having this problem after mine is fixed, I might have to look into one of those. ;)

    One of these guys is a big wienie

    Spotted this in a local mall parking lot - apparently the crew needed some clean underwear or something. :D

    Note the defensive parking technique – across 4 spaces! :nonod:

    Left it in the garage and rode 72 miles on the bicycle in Dave.0's honor.

    The guy who launders our lab coats here at work told me today that he sees me driving around "all the time" and that I don't blend into other traffic.

    I asked him if he thought I would buy a bright red Mini with a white roof if I cared about sticking out. Duh.
