What did you do with your MINI today?

Weights with me in it will definitely drive spring rates up. After all, my shirt size IS Double XL Fat.

 

I prefer to think of it as ballast.

 

I'm fix'n to open the sunroof, take a nice drive around and end up at a burrito shack I'm fond of for lunch. I have to decide, carnitas or fish?

 

I drove it to and from work (19 miles round trip), which I do almost every weekday.

 

19 Miles round trip... Thats not even one way for me!

 

Yes, but there are a bunch of hills and curvies along the way, and very few
stop signs or traffic lights.

 

Filled the MINI with 92 octane ethanol free gas.
I also dumped a half a bottle of Techron in it to insure sufficient detergent content.

Took the 07 out before the rains, banking and meet the wife and puppy for a trail walk, went to rec. to sign up for a class or two.

Went to the banks to do what you do at banks. Taking the 07 out for a jaunt over to the range, today feels like a 200 round 22LR therapy day!

Unfortunately, it will probably be raining on the way back from the range.

 

Hope you had a clean getaway Don... Agreed that the range is probably the last place they would look after borrowing a few bucks.

 

Beer run.

 

^^^What is the brew there?

 

I thought that was a nitrous bottle....

 

Nope... Training keg... Nothing I used to not be able to knock down in a night.

Hey they are travel size...

 

Installed my passenger side Recaro with the newly remade Wedge bracket. For those of you that saw the seats at Fontana, heard my complaints and saw the gaps for yourselves. Well, the fine folks at Wedge did right and rebuilt the brackets to my adjusted specs. The fitment is much nicer. Hopefully, tomorrow I'll be able to get the driver's seat reinstalled.

For now, here is the comparison: new vs. old.

 

Carolina Brewing Company
The original NC Triangle area micro brewery, about 5 minutes from my house in my little burb of Holly Springs.

1/6 barrel of Summer Ale (Kölsch/Extra Pale hybrid)

 

Yeah, a lot of these third party "perfect fit" brackets, don't.
I had to do some modifications to my Corbeau brackets to shift the seats toward the tunnel, just like you. They fit the car fine, and fit the seats fine... but didn't center the seat in the available space.

 

I can't stand when a seat isn't centered to the wheel. I feel like I'm driving crooked. Did they correct the mistake gratis?

 

Then you'd hate my car. Because it is IMPOSSIBLE to center the seat to the wheel. Even with the OEM seats.

I'd be surprised if yours is centered.
