    Might be enough video to start identifying them by seeing what car they were in or driving and maybe get a plate number...

    Sure hope it can be easily fixed, things like this just make me want to move

    to the top of a mountain and never come down (except to drive!).

    Today I changed the oil, brake fluid, and coolant in my 2005 R52S. I took it to the dealer as I wanted a complete inspection as I just purchased the car 4.27.2015. The dealer also did 2 out of 3 recalls on the car. The upgrade they didn't do was a software upgrade. I had 'Pepper' tuned by Jan at the Dragon and Jan told me that I already had the lasted software upgrade. Now only the detailing is left to do... and that is a lot.

    Took it to the "tar" store to have a nail removed from the left rear and the "tar" repaired and rebalanced. Even with my burned out poor eyes, I spotted the little bugger between the treads just right of center while it was parked in the garage.

    Now, we'll keep an eye on it to make sure it continues to hold the proper psi.

    Pulled the scoop grill out and opened up all the factory sealed holes. Went from 12 openings to 26.

    One half hour of drill and dremel work and now my scoop is not just an ornament.

    I was going to do that and when I had the scoop grill out, I looked at the scoop without the grill and thought, "That looks good!" So, I put the unaltered grill on the shelf. Saved myself some time.

    I thought about that, but mine doesn't look quite as good. There's a discoloration or stain or something inside the scoop that is distracting to me. I might be able to clean it, but at the time I was on a roll and had a mission to complete. :)

    The black one is again all waxed and detailed for the Carlisle Import Show on

    Sat. It took me quite awhile to get the 300 lbs. on dead bugs off the front of

    it from the trip back from the Dragon (my 7th time).
