I stood in the Kroger parking lot trying to unlock my car with the fob. None of the buttons worked. C'mon, man, work. Suddenly noticed the roof racks. I don't have roof racks. I look around. My car is two rows over. :nonod: Other than the roof racks, exactly like my car. CD :lol:
Talked my wife into doing her first 'rally' today (other than the centipede MINI Club type of 'rally').
Only if the MINI is moving away from a stationary object. If you want more speed moving toward a stationary object, you need more blue on You MINI. CD
Nicely done Ernesto... BTW.... You can also lay claim to having the fastest cardboard in your neighborhood...:biggrin5:
Not today but a couple of days ago. I was cruising down the highway in the left lane passing cars like picket fence poles, when I spied a Mini up head. As I got closer I saw it was another JCW coupe, this one was dark grey with a red roof. I slowed a little as I went by and gave the guy a wave. He waved back and looked a little surprised to see another coupe. After passing him I looked in my mirror and saw he was catching me. Once next to me I looked over and he was giving me a big thumbs up. You don't see many coupes where I live and even fewer JCWs
Wheels on is less spectacular due to ordinary wheels ;-) I wound up kneeling in that cardboard without realizing.. I later looked down at what I thought was a horrendously bloody knee and totally freaked myself out.
Got the diffuser on last night (GP2 belly pan will be in and I'll install it by wednesday) Then gave her a bath, though not sure why... It's going to rain all damn week :mad2:
Dropped her off at the stealership for a little over night diagnostic action (for that whining noise some of yall know about). They'll at least be flushing brake fluid and changing cabin filter Here's to nothing too serious.... Or nothing that the extended warranty doesn't cover :beer
Nothing. Played hookie from work to spend the day working on my homeowner DIY project. Rented an 8ft brake from the Home Depot last night, and went on a 22 hour "bender" of sorts. Got 17 sill caps made up. Enough frame caps done to handle most of my full-sized windows that I have already installed and a head start on the other windows. I'll still need to rent the brake again... but I'll also need to grab another box of coil stock. Hopefully, my upcoming "staycation" will be productive enough to get my two "living" floors completely swapped out to the new windows, and completely capped off. My attic windows may very well wait till the fall.
I cleaned it and covered it up this afternoon. Gonna clean and cover the XKR tomorrow morning. Flying out to London on Thursday. "24 Heures du Mans" this weekend!!! S#!t Howdy its gonna be a blast!
I have a 17' Justa as a loaner. Whoever said the 3cyl. turbo is faster than an R56 S is on crack. I'm sure it's faster than all of the previous Justa's, but the auto trans is a joke, the only thing good about it is 1st gear. Serious lag from the time you put the pedal down to the time it'll downshift and go, also a big time lag when shifting from gear to gear on an on ramp/hard acceleration. Another thing I noticed is that the F series has a lot more tail end wiggle when braking hard for a sharp corner, and it's fairly unpredictable in those situations BUT I am sitting on what I think is the base wheels with skinny tyres. Fish face still sucks.
