    Got home from work a little early, took the cover off RDNZL and woke her up! Fired right up from the winters sleep, warmed up and took a ride for some milk! It's gonna be 70 tomorrow in Jersey! Now I gotta get moving on my project list :-o

    Took my "new to me club" to the store after work for a short evening drive. I was having so much fun motoring around I drove right past it.

    My wallet hurts thinking about it Nathan. I hope Chad is taking care of you with more than just mechanic work.

    Keep focusing on the positive: When you get it back it WILL be good. You can be sure of that. :cool:

    I had the auxiliary water pump changed out for the recall today.

    While I was waiting, I drove the new MINI Roadster, with the top down! It was a slow morning and I was talking with a real nice sales associate about the Roadster. Their demo roadster was outside I said that on a sunny day, like we're having, you should put the top down! He agreed and then asked, "Do you want to take it for a drive?" Heck Yes!

    He knew of some nice twisty roads in the area, we tore up the neighborhood for about a half an hour!

    As I had hoped, I finished replacing that defective plastic tube for the S/C, replaced the o-ring on the crank sensor and gaskets for the throttle body and S/C. Cleaned up my mess and drove it to lunch as I had promised myself.
