2hrs behind schedule she came back. now it's
like night time. was so pissed off i took my G out anyway
for a nice drive.

WANT

They have a fantastic pricing strategy, I think.

But it will keep me from buying one until I can get it for 75% off on sale at Kohl's.

Finally got in my GP rear trim and got it installed. It rocks. No, there are no pics. Yes, this post is worthless.

Agreed! Hopefully the Patrick workers will keep their grubby paws off the new MINI so I can give her a good detail!

Blimey has wheel well liners? I didn't know that.

I still need to get ONE driving light bracket off the bonnet (one screw is like STUCK on there), get the Sirius box out, and get the MTTS 2006 badge off the back. Then I am all done (except Drew has to put my stock knee bolster back in. I am an idiot and can't get it back on).

Pictures, my yet to be named damper sheered some steel within the last few weeks if not days.

Those are wheel wells! I thought you were talking about the felt liners that the R56s have!

Didn't take any - but I used the how-to here to do the swap.

The new one looks like this:


Imagine that in the old one's place... and you're there.

Ken, Portillos? We'll be in that Blue thing, but I suspect food is not allowed inside it yet.

Gave Geoffrey a bath plus Hydro plus a half-assed attempt at BW. I'm not feeling too well today so I only did the arches.
