Yesterday - got celebrate the wedding that "started" with the proposal at the end of the last MTTS. You'll have to back the video up to 3:56:25... for some reason the timestamped link doesn't want to work...

About a half hour ago, I made the Rat's new friend a permanent one! Its going to be a long slow restoration build, but will be worth the time and money when done! I pretty much stole it, you can't find an FC RX-7 original turbo in this shape for less than $7K anymore especially when this one already has over $10K into the pistonless engine under the hood! I payed way less than that!
Dick you are going to have one heck of a hard time finding a decent camshaft that fits that beer keg engine.
A bath is all I've been able to do with my MINI as of late. The boot isn't big enough for all the open house signs I'm always dragging aroung, Argh! But loving the new gig! 2 contracts closed the first month. Hopefully Rogue will forgive me!
Dick is actually content with both MINIs right now, and this will make sure he doesn't go overboard with the Porker... I might not make it to the Dragon this year, because thats where the $$$ came from... But you can't pass up a deal like this when it pops up. Sacrifices of a car guy.
Installed a VT engine mount and TSW Xbrace. Wanted to get rid of the stock mount before it started leaking again.
Managed to find some centre caps for my alloys, but gonna have to wait until pay day, and that's if they haven't gone by then!
