What did you do with your MINI today?

I found the trick. I used the old ones for now and ordered some from my place in the UK GT TUNING. They are a lot easier to use. they are preformed to fit and are a softer rubber. I used them for 5 or 6 years now with out any problems. I was trying to get it done faster so I ordered some from a place in the US but never again. It took me no more than 5 mins. to reinstall the intercooler this morning.

 

Gotta love it when a problem is solved and a plan comes together.

 

I got it back together

And it runs. Hooray.

 

Very nice.

 

Wow what a clean engine room!!! Perfect, just perfect.

 

Thanks guys. After I get the smog done (Aug.) I have some new things to add.

 

Will be looking forward to see how you improve on what you have now.

 

It has been awhile, after the covid saga and owning the JCW clubby for 1.7 years, 2 years in July, if finally took the snow tires off. Not much wear with as I just turned over 2900 milds on the Clubby. As I said earlier, looking to change it out, but I do love the Clubby JCW, fast and fairly comfortable. Not sure I could enjoy a long, long to the coast trip from Colorado and I do not want two car payments at this fine age in retirement. We shall see. Might get it out on Sunday and go visit the AUDI dealer when no sales people are hanging on UPs.

Later, we got a great weekend going here in Colorado.

Well... I still haven't unpacked the MINI from MOTD, but I did get my Killboy photos!

Here's my favorite.

 

Great photo.

 

A group from Vancouver MINI Cooper Club gathered for doughnuts at Krispy Kreme.

 

Nice turnout.

 

Oil change last night in the 2012 Clubman, plus fixing the repeat offender broken temperature sender wiring..

 

I got out to the garage and puttered around a bit. I unloaded all of the stuff from MOTD 2022 (I took in my clothing last week, but just left everything else in the car until I had some time to recharge from the trip.

I had been leaving my full-sized spare bolted in the back w/ the rear seats down, but I decided to put the car back to 'local mode' (remove the spare and put the rear seats upright).

Maybe next weekend I'll take the car out to fill the gas tank, give the engine a once-over and wash the exterior.

 

It was. We're going to do another one soon.

 

I generally try and stay out of politics, but here I am. Made my political statement. The stickers arrived today and I stuck them to magnets. Thanks to the folks at the MINI Club of Ukraine for sending me their logo.

 

Well the weather was halfway decent yesterday so I cleaned GIR up and drove him into work this morning.
