    Give it time...

    As you get older, your front end will get loaded...

    I cleaned my engine bay today. It's not perfect but it looks so much better!

    What did you do today?

    Cheers

    After spending a little time driving an appliance that shall remain unnamed, I decided not to trade my mini in. I would rather have a car that is fun to drive and needs attention than have a boring car for the masses. Picking up oil and filter now and will order the parts to repair my a/c this evening.

    I think he said they were older lancer or Mitsubishi Evo 8 seats just like my Mitsubishi Evo IX seats but in a different color. I helped him take off / cut off the old seat hardware and rails at my place. :Thumbsup:

    Recaro makes the JCW seats and they use the Sportster version.

    I have sat in both and the these seats are better and very comfortable and supportive. They are a higher version of the Sportsters.

    Took my MINI replacement for a 270 mile drive on some of Southern Ohio's best back roads. The car is dirty, I'm tired, but I have a big smile on my face..... :D

    Any recommendations? I just got this new app called MINI motoring which shows you some fun sections of road. It's all mapped out by other users who post fun spirited drives.

    Cheers

    Took it down to this abandoned strip mall/parking garage/whatever. Turns out there are people living there, and they turn out the lights when you pull up. I won't lie, it's all a bit creepy. I'll have to take some pics to post up on the "Off-topic" section. A couple friends of mine have explored there in the daytime, and they love it. It's not even considered off-limits, so it's legal to go in there. I'm thinking the parking garage attached to it could make a nice photo-shoot opportunity. :Thumbsup:
