The drilling of the holes didn't bother me. The phone ringging, did make me a little nervous.

I'll be replacing my windshield wiper motor on Saturday unless I can get a dealer to do it tomorrow. Had to sit for 2.5 hours for a downpour to end before I could go the last five miles to my office. It started to flood around me it rained so hard for so long but it finally let up enough to drive safely without the wipers. Pain in the ***.

Its a good thing you can fix everything yourself if needed. You seem to have interesting mishaps. Your wiper moter went out? Or did it just get to wet like my heater did that time?

By the way, by noon I was in a t-shirt.

You sort of expect the wipers to get wet. Niello MINI has the motor in stock so, if it doesn't rain tomorrow, I'll let them replace it. I wouldn't be able to get home to replace the motor if it rained hard. It will be the first time I've let anyone but me wrench on my MINI.

It doesn't sound like your adventure was as bad as one that I had played a roll in. At least you didn't mention needing a body shop for more than one vehicle.

Sorry to hear about your wiper motor ordeal, Steve. Of all the parts in a MINI, don't you think it is kind of ironic that they have a wiper motor in stock? I have intermittent wipers on my GMC. They work fine most of the time, but occasionally they will decide they don't want to run.

Sorry I missed this one!

From the sound of things, I'm glad we did the work on my car 2 weekends ago!

I should have been there to take pictures. Steve did you remember?

Brad, did you change your oil again too?

See you at the next meeting.

Robert.

Too bad you didn't get a picture of the puller almost bending to point of popping off the pulley. There's no way the new one will so bring'em on.

3:00 pm should be OK if Brad doesn't try to wait for FedEx to deliver his coilover. Brad, if you see this, just come up and we'll replace your's with mine.

I agree, I feel sorry for you guys. By the time we get all done, I could probably install them myself.

I think I could put those things on in my sleep I've had them on and off so many times. BTW, thanks for lunch (again). Blake, I think we will get to your sway bar tomorrow if all goes well.
