    Why did it need warshing if it has just been hibernating in its cocoon?

    Crazy weather we had just before I put it away.... The MINI wasn't spotless.... It is now though.... And yeah about the shop dust.... That polyethylene gets static buildup when I was cocooning it... Sucks the dust out of the air like a magnet... Took it for a spin to blow the water off and filled it up with Shell Super 93... All id good now...:Thumbsup:

    I just drove it through the rain to help my father-in-law replace the magnitron in the microwave. Nothing special.

    Can it be connected to a flux capacitor and fitted on your MINI ?

    I still check out the 3rd Gen section every now and then. More people with 3rd gen cars there I guess.

    I found an empty stretch of lightly winding uphill road on my way to work this morning and got to find out how much boost my supercharger is still making.

    I got 14.78psi going up hill. :biggrin5:
