About to go out and continue the work on the Runt. This is such a busy time of the year and work on top of it, this is taking too long! I miss driving my Mini!
Today I took my MINI out for a slightly under mph run down to my local MINI shop (HELIX) to drop off homemade Christmas cookies for all the guys.
Happy Holidays everyone! I know I've been absent for most of the year, but have been working hard at other things... Look for a new thread to pop up, and for me to be around more again after the first of the new year! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
A nice Christmas Day dinner with my youngest son and his girlfriend, wife and I enjoyed a quiet Christmas eve eating snacks and then going out in her 11 CM to see some Christmas lights. Our observation, folks are not putting up huge light displays anymore. I suspect it is due to the middle class disappearing and people shopping on Amazon and not in stores and getting in your face Christmas spirit. May all you New Year fun be safe and 2017 prosperous and in good health. Don
New years is going to be hard for me to top last year Don... Hoping I don't wake up in a puddle of blood with a half severed thumb after being drugged at the bar down the street again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Today I installed the new braided brake lines and bled them, new clamp on one of the CV boots, new power steering hoses and reservoir. So what I have completed along with what I did today; slotted rotors with Hawk HPS pads front and rear, clutch, slave cylinder, helicoil the oil pan and new gasket, oil housing gasket and oil cooler gaskets, new hoses to the oil cooler, DT bypass valve,. So what I have left. I need to bleed the slave cylinder but I do not have a pressure bleeder. My friend had one but is missing the cap so I guess I will order one. Then put it all back together. But I am on the road tomorrow so it won't get done till the weekend. It has been a couple of weeks sense I have drove my mini! I am doing into withdrawal .
Went and washed my MINI. Yes...there's still snow on the ground and the roads are icy but I needed to get all the salt and grime out from under the car. A good spray under the car helps.
I'd be surprised if I put even 500 miles on my MINI in the last two months. It mostly sat in my garage, or in airport parking. It sat there all day, today, too. CD
Today I walked out into my garage, said hello to 'Pepper', found a bottle of Tequila that I had gotten as a X-mas present, and I am having a REALLY good day...
