Appears you're feeling better today, ken.

I'm not sure about getting to St Louis for a BBQ, but if we all make it to MOTD next year (I already have my reservation), we should do that and have a spirited trip down the Dragon together.

We can also compare detailing jobs to see who's MINI is the cleanest and most sparkling.

 

CR&PW&JB- yep, im back to my normal(?) self again.

do you guys know if the glove box door lock mechanism is adjustable?
mine started to open up over each larger bump today.

 

3 > 1 so therefore CRPWIMTHEKINGOFCLEANJB will win the clean MINI contest hands down. Now if someone had four MINIs ...

 

blimey do you know?

 

Since when does Quantity outweigh Sparkliness ??

Nah, I think you win as your MINI is frequently Car Show ready.

 

I'd have to take a close look when I get home today, ken. Good question for Blimey though... he's a mechanical genius and tinkers with his MINI quite a bit.

 

yah, i read through the stock problems thread but not much info there
as far as adjustment on the latch. people seemed to put felt or something
but that's not the way to fix this issue... for rattles yes, but mine
doesn't rattle.

seems like the latch is not fully in the locked position.

 

Got a Big Green Egg myself last summer to use for grilling and smoking. Pretty cool deal - uses natural charcoal and can smoke low and slow or go up to 700+ degress F.

 

hey, i got my new platinum MF towels from DP.... the threading is now
black around the edges. looks kinda nice.

 

found TSB M5120004 for the glovebox fix.

but how do you remove the glove box? are there visible torx screws?
Im at work so dont know.... where are the screws? thanx.

 

Sorry - been working

I was gonna post the glovebox fix - but Ken found it.

Not sure about removal... I can't remember if I've taken mine out before (though it seems vaguely familiar)... but my guess is that the screws are easy to access... don't have my Bentley manual here...

 

working on wat?!

i should buy a bentley manual...


... so this screw goes there... but now im left with 3 extra screws..

 

Had a mandatory Sexual Harassment Prevention training session this morning. No lie. Now working on a Disaster Recovery Gap Assessment for a client.

 

man, sounds heavy. time for a snack...

this morning i was called into a meeting to go to japan to align my fellow
incompetent workers. and well, accept a large business contract
i won from my customer.

why do i have to fly 5000miles to get their butts in line when my
glove box opens over rough roads? i have important things to
attend to here.

 

Exactly. I think you should quit.

 

quit yackin' and get back to work?

 

need to check on my griots order status..

 

Mine is scheduled for delivery tomorrow - nozzle, swabs, wheel sticks, spray-on carwash, undercarriage spray...

 

shipped. i shall receive tomorrow.

 

cool! is that the 9position hose nozzle? i like the "center" spray mode
to do the initial wetdown and also the soap app, and the "shower" mode
to rinse.

i do the wheels in "shower" mode for both soap and rinse.

"Jet" mode is great for cleaning wheel wells and sus bits.

im still on the first one and it's handling my abuse well.

 

Nah. It's the cheapo nozzle. I'm not paying Griot's prices for an adjustable one... I have a similar cheapo one that works well enough. But I wanted to try out the $10 Griot's nozzle...

 

the 9pos nozzle is only $14.99 or something...

it's the same price as the sear's fireman's hose nozzle...

 

Ken, you have to stop abbreviating the word "position". Every time I see that, I think of something.... else.

 

hahahahahaha

did you know that the airport im flying to is abbreviated ***?
