Woke my MINI up from hibernation... Unwrapped the cocoon... Brought it home.... Felt sooo good driving it...
Continental DW in 215/45-17 I hope you didn't the flooring at lumber liquidators. I'm not talking about the formaldehyde stuff. Their warranty is worthless. Anything that happens is your fault. Ours scratched in the first week and now it coming apart at the width section. We've through their claims, BBB, and now state attorney general. We got back some money on what wasn't installed. The rest is sol.
Very nice. I just put a set of DWS on mine. Couldn't be happier. The flooring I got from Home Depot. They've been pretty good to me in the past. I think this one has either a 12 or 15 year warranty. The sad thing is it's going over beautiful real wood floors that some jerk off painted. Twice. I tried to sand it and it gummed up a piece of paper on the drum sander in two passes.
Today I made the mistake of going thru one of those car washes that has brushes. N'er again. I figured the stubby antenna would be ok. Lesson learned. Car wash $20.00, Satellite radio antenna $165.00. Today has been esspensive.
Today was the first and last time. I'm currently sifting thru site sponsors trying to find a replacement.
Yesterday I took my MINI out for a drive to go for a year check up at the Dentist. On the way home I cleared some carbon with 100+MPH run on a long clear stretch of road. Today I cleaned the windshield on my MINI to remove 100 mph bug splatter.
Remember the good ol' days, when you'd get banned from the Sewing Site for posting this? :devil: :lol:
I ordered some black "Aero" side scuttles, a replacement sat. antenna base, and some sun screen's for the roof windows
Yesterday, did a lot of this... [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mjSJJ4UWlY"]VIR Trackdaze 20160322 Session 2 - YouTube[/ame]
Got an exhaust leak fixed. Started last week. Every day I would cringe every time I got on the gas. So I took a look underneath and saw the muffler connection to the rear pipe, the gasket rusted through and blew out. Easy Peasy. Problem was I have the NM Engineering exhaust and its kind of and odd ball size. 60mm or 2.36". so go to local exhaust shop. Lift on hoist and find gasket. Found one that fits and since it was already on their lift and they were helping me search for the right one, so I let them do it. $20 later and the exhaust sounds wonderful again! :cornut:
Went to work early this morning so I could get out on time to go the the Vancouver International Auto Show after work. Stopped at Starbucks on the way and watched the sun rise.
pumped another liter of ATE brake fluid through the red Mini last night. Can't get this thing bled properly after changing rotors, pads and brake lines. it works ok, but there's definitely still air in there. We went through 3 full liters of this stuff by now. I've never had such a hard time bleeding brakes like on this car.
