I took my car out of the garage and turned it around and backed it into the garage today. Oh and I dusted it off.
Drove it to meet some friends at the grand opening of Beer Barrel Pizza. It was packed. Nice place and great food.
Reworked my homemade intake. Almost complete, Have a K&N Apollo coming in to replace the el-cheapo mock up filter. Then I'll wrap all the tubing in that heat reflective tape. Have a replacement cowl piece coming as well since I turned this one into Swiss Cheese
Firebro, I'll be interested to hear if you like that short shifter. My buddy has one (KAD like yours) and I hated it, even after I got used to it. The throws may have been longer in Buzz with his standard rod change shifter, but so what? it was butter smooth and two fingers easy - with the KAD? not so much - vague, hard to find the gears and stiff. Another guy had one in his P'up - same results, almost undriveable till you get used to it, then it was just no fun...... Hope your results are better......
Finished work today... Pointed my MINI towards home and said "Git" With instructions to "git" in front of everyone headed in the same direction... Was successful... Saw a lot of officers out giving tickets..... But not to me... And I'm OK with that....
On the way home I took my usual freeway exit. It is a suggested 35 mph, 270 degree turn to an overpass. A car was following me too closely as I entered the off ramp, I didn't slow down from the 60 mph freeway speed and came off of the off ramp onto the street, still doing about 60 mph. The MINI took the turn in stride, no squealing tires or anything, it just turned! I was a good 1/4 mile down the road, before I saw the tailgater come off of the exit. I've done that off ramp at fifty mph before but never sixty. I think the MINI will do corners much faster than I care to drive! I can safely say that I can save my money with suspension upgrades, I don't need 'em.
Looks good. Mine are falling off already. One more warranty item when I take the car in on the 6th. Took mine and had an alignment done today. Full tank w/my big butt sitting in it made a difference. Had to be done after adding the NM springs. Have a nice weekend folks, and remember what the holiday is for. And, to my Brothers in Arms... don't forget to raise a glass to Absent Comrades.
Loaded it up on a trailer for the big move to Pensacola. It's my third and final 26 ft Budget truckload down there! We accumulated too much stuff while in Columbus.
Took the Mini to my Daughters today for Korean BBQ, rice and kimchee. Excellent! Passed this on the way home. This is a small cemetery next to a little country church in the middle of nowhere. I had to turn around and stop for a while and pay it the attention it deserved.
