What did you do to your mini today?
I really need to look into the clear bra. . .are kits readily available? Any preferences as to brand? I did all the vinyl pieces on my MINI and am pretty confident it is a pretty straight forward application, just need to bite the bullet I suppose.
+1 I'm a fan of mine as well, but I will say that it gets hit by passenger's knees a lot...

Finally did the remove ring, lower headrest mod. Gawd what a improvement. Increased visibility out the rear window AND I can now fold rear seats flat without having to first move drivers seat forward.

Exxon 93. I think it was $4.37 a gallon. That was down from the 4.49 I paid 2 weeks ago.
Now that I'm looking at the receipt, its saying I put in 13.246 gallons. I thought it was a 13 gallon tank. Hmmm.....

i am going to get a cup holder but i just bought a car and a bike and the cup holder for the back seat is ok for now
also need to get boot and bonnet stripes, side angle stripes, that chimex thing (so my dog can sit in the front seat when i have the bike sqeezed in the back seats, good thing i am small (and sheesh if he switches posistion the alarm starts all over again)) the dice ipod adapter thingy (though i am debating one of those radio ipod interface things but they are still $40-$50 which could just go to what i actually want)
and if my cat pees on my new $200 rug one more time
i will wash it again... and the glaring, the glaring will be unspeakable
until i get all the awesome car stuff i will get to look forward to the awesome car stuff. it builds character, so i tell myself

I'm assuming you know about GasBuddy.com??!!
It's an App where you can find "cheap" gas prices depending on your current location.

Not that I'm a fan of Exxon (I'm not), but I believe Exxon is a top tier gas retailer.

Because Exxon has been added to the Top Tier gas retailers, it is cheaper then Shell and I get much better mileage with Exxon then I do with Shell. And yes, I know about gasbuddy.

It seemed the Tarox brake discs were on wrong. Switched them out (left to right and vice versa). Only took me about 30 minutes. Then, while screwing in the wheel-bolts I destroyed on of the hubs. Had to get a new one at the dealer (€140 ex VAT, about $245), got it put on tonight for another $145... Making my mistake cost almost $400
Also: changed the oil (and filter), cleaned the ITG-filter and oiled it again. Replaced the wheelbolts that got damaged and finally installed the wheelbolt-locks.
Hopefully Monday I'll get my new PlayMini catback exhaust, will install it Saturday-morning, after that the Cravenspeed CAI and new spark plugs. Then on the dyno for a custom-tune! (At Beek Auto Racing in The Hague, The Netherlands, which is supposedly one of the best in Europe)
Note that I haven't installed a smaller pulley, so I think the little engine won't do any better than 185-190BHP.
Will get to the pulley eventually, need to leave some room for improvement huh

Just got a couple of things from OutMotoring today...
I really like the Aero Scuttles...
I think I'm to scared to try and get the taillight rings off so I'm going to Lyles next week to finish off the Black out.
I did try last night but Btiched out and gave up.

I was parked in chinatown picking up some dinner. They aint got no stinkin parking rules there, it's like law of the jungle. But I really wish they did sometimes!
