    Is it hooked in to the ECU in place of the narrowband? Been wanting to do that to mine.

    I'm really embarrassed to tell you all, but I washed my car today. When I got done there looked to be a film on the whole car, no matter where I looked. It truly looked cloudy. I went over it with a really soft MF towel. Still cloudy. I cleaned my glasses...all is right with the world.

    Washed the Helmet today. No unlike @Goldsmithy I did not have to clean my glasses:D but I just found out it is going to rain tonight with a chance of hell. It’s parked outside :mad:

    Ok got up early the rain was gone so I dried off the helmet, it still looks nice and clean!

    @Qik where is this rod you speak of? I looked on the Helmet but the heat shield was in the way so I looked on my wife's S and still didn't see it. Could you post a picture?

    Um, I hate to say it, but that is probably as exciting as driving Katharyn Hepburn's Crown Vic... or John Lennon's beige Mercedes station wagon.

    I am probably going back to Sarasota in two weeks to shoot a Yenko... something. I don't know what it is, yet. They better have Sir Paul's Mini running by then. That was the ONLY car from that collection I really wanted to drive.

    My MINI is home for the weekend. I'm shooting a 1962 Shelby Cobra on Monday in Central Texas. I could charge my customer for a rental car, but I'm thinking I'd rather take my MINI for a few hours of some two lane country driving.

    Still waiting for my RMW coil overs. Jan’s suspension guy is in Europe and they’re still working on the camber plates. I reckon that’s the downside to getting the first set of 3rd Gen coil overs. Ordered them 5/26.
    Anyway, I took the Mini out for a spin today. First time it’s moved in a couple of weeks.

    Changed the cabin microfilter (one pleat slightly chewed and a tbs of small 1/8" seed husks as evidence of critters in the previous owner's garage).
    Changed the engine air filter - not too dirty but enough to do it while I had the cover off.
    Pulled the windshield washer pump behind the wheel well liner - lots of leafy debris in the fluid that poured out from the bottom and a bit of grunge on the gasket/strainer.
    The washer had been a little intermittent and pretty wimpy, now it’s reliable and sprays with much stronger streams.
    I was going to order a new pump but glad now that I didn't and instead simply addressed the underlying problem.

    Oh, I saw a white R53 with a red roof in Plano, Texas on Friday. It was definitely modded... the suspension at least. It also had a Manic decal on the back of it. I can't help wondering if it is someone on MA that owns it.

    I’m not on any alpha blockers or alpha reductace inhibitors yet, but give my prostate another 10 or 15 years and I bet I will be.
