    Sitting here in my cubicle over hearing the travel arrangement person negotiating with our travel provider. They are working on a contract for our people who travel to the different offices in the US, Canada and around the world.

    "We want MINI Coopers. No Hybrids. Take them off the list" :)

    Nice Jim...
    Now tell me what pads you are going with....
    There seems to be a very small selection to choose from...:(

    Yes because of the weights on the pads. I went with the EBC Red Stuff. I've had the Red Stuff on my original JCW brakes and never had a problem.

    Yep, got the decals off eBay. You have Recaro's then I guess with the new logo. I have the Sparco's with correct logo.

    Same here...

    No issues either...

    I wish there was a bigger selection... I wanted to try out the Akebono's, but alas it was not meant to be...

    Replaced the VANOS solenoid and changed the oil after picking up from dealer who had walnut blasted the intake. Wanted $630 to replace the solenoid....not on your life (1-10mm bolt, hoses moved and a tight space)

    Yep, still working on fitting the R53 belt tensioners properly. All plugs were disassembled and rewired so no cut wires. The R56 Recaros were available with both logos at one time, but now the early logo version has been discontinued. :(

    This weekend I swapped out my exhaust from the Dragon straight pipe back to the Milltek.
    I also for the first time since before the Dragon detailed my car. Yes I had washed it several times but never really cleaned the paint with my DA since before MOTD.

    I bet cleaning the paint on your front bumper went well...
