yah, but mine didn't come with the A/C kit...


nice! so wat color was it before.

not sure wat the weather's going to be like here over the weekend, but if it's crappy i think im going to do some basement organizaiton/cleaning and if it's nice out i'll motor my G and Z and wash the Fits. i need to touchup the chips before snow/salt/crappage.

 

sounds like colorado's having a fun time with 40 inches of snow.

 

I had a silver roof and anthracite wheels.

 

I washed both of my FitS's too today. looks great. They were filthy from the dead leaves clogged in the wells and worms stuck on the sidesills.

Today our town starts trick-o-treating at 3pm so I think I'm going to go motor my G. wife's taking the kids to grandma's for tt'ing in their neighborhood. They have more stuff in their neighborhood.

Hope it doesn't rain on me like last weekend.

Man, I want to get a new stereo for my G...

 

motored the Z and G today so it was a good day. watched the kids in dinosaur costume and bob the builder. lol also handed out candy...

note to self...dont work in the garage with door open on halloween.

 

been pretty busy with my dd's.... got the FitSW's rear windows tinted, sold the cargo cover, looks great.

painted the FitS's stock muffler matte black so the ugly is hidden. looks pretty good. was kinda surprised.

got to motor my Z on sunday as well and SpeedShined. i need to order more speedshine pretty soon along with other stuff.

so i got my Z's replacement intake inlet pipe for the right (passenger side)....well, actually they shipped me the left side. so i call the store telling them they sent me the wrong part. the kid over there claims he shipped me the right part looking at his computer.

told the kid...ever think maybe they mis-labeled the package? he should just check the damn package before you ship it? he was like...uhhhh.... got a little emotional when i started demanding return freight reimbursement and full refund unless he gets me the right (passenger side) correct one. i thought he was going to cry

 

I washed both MINIs on Sunday and Clara got an oil change.

One MINI is still shiny clean today. The other is not

 

Blimey's nasty - need to go out and BW him now and maybe wash him later today.

Ken - yep, doing the blackout treatment on ugly parts of the exhaust (and suspension) makes a BIG difference. Did mine a while back. Gotta go pickup my new black exhaust tips from the powdercoater today.

 

so i see you got tired of putting the oil canister back on huh? let someone else do it.



yah, first mod i did on my Z was to paint its ugly
exhaust flanges. now it's hidden away and looks
clean.

wooo! post picts of them black exhaust tips.

 

It's clean, shiny and decorated with mud/fertilizer!

 

Hey, so when are you guys moving??

 

Stupid overnight fog makes the MINI dirty. And I just washed him last week!

I need a garage.

 

Sometime after the 20th but before the 23rd. I'm guessing the 21st

 

yah, LA fog at night is pretty damp... i hated parking my car outside so kept taking the commuter to dinners and stuff.


i see that there's really no fixed date. hahaha.

so do you have a garage at this new place?

 

My MCS has become a weekend car for me..oh my gosh!

I just got back from Hong Kong and trying to get back into the swing of things. Gonna drive my MINI this weekend at the Italian Job Charity Run (I posted details in my Vendor Announcement this week).

That'll be a blast. Last year, I had to take my exwifes Murano to the event cause my MINI was in the shop. Fortunately the higher vantage point let me take some interesting shots, but it sucked not being a MINI.

My daily driver needs a tune up..got a squeaky drive belt and 300 miles shy of the next oil change (no synthetic!). I've been testing ONR on it (Optimum No Rinse). So far it seems like a good product, atleast on my white daily driver. I know it's been a very popular product on some detailing forums, so I wanted to give it a thorough testing myself.

I've been letting my customers drive it as a loaner car, but not sure if I'm going to keep on doing it...I'm noticing scratches that weren't there before, and although it's not as precious as my MINI, still, it's a relic of the past and needs to be treated with respect! (for those that don't know it's a low mileage 1988 Toyota MR2).

 

I don't actually *have* a place yet, so that is uncertain

But it's high on my list of priorities!

Right now gearing up for Saturday's run. Lots of people coming - Ken, you in??

 

No?

 

Looks like someone put a big weight on a Nissan Murano and squashed it down.

 

Yah, thanks for the invite but no. I don't have more than 3hrs to play with my cars usually on Sat/Sun so I can't make it back in time.

Btw, anyone be interested in buying my G? I think I'm happy with the Z so it looks like she's (Z) a keeper and now I can let go of my G.

Price with everything on it will be $250K.

Let me know.

 

Who is this OctaneGuy that's been mysteriously posting in our thread?

Anyone know him?

 

OctaneWho?

OK, I promised pics of Blimey's tail.... GP rear trim, and matching powder coated 3" tips.

 

oooo.. me likey the powder coated tips.

 

Tips look great Paul

Mark

 

nice job, blimey! looks good.

 

That does look good!
