Got a little crazy with Plastidip this weekend. Pics are upcoming but I did the taillamp rings, upper and lower front grille surrounds, fuel filler cap cover, and all 4 wheels. Last two things are the belt moldings and door handles then I will be 100% chrome-less!!!!

I think so, the ELM327 was only like 16 shipped, and the app was 50$ but it also does OBDII functions, as well as Skip pad and 1/4 mile stuff, and still a lot cheaper than gauges. And EASY TO INSTALL

I hate curbs and stay as far away from them as possible.

Getting the CM cleaned up to attend the annual Watkins Glen Grandprix Festival tomorrow. MINI is the Marque car this year! So there will be MINIs old and new running all over the finger lakes countryside on Friday as well as SVRA races all weekend at the track!
Friday's activities start at 7:30 AM and end with fireworks at 9:00PM
It is a real blast if you've never been !
details at www.Grandprixfestival.com

Picked it up from the tint shop. 20% on the back 5. It looks lighter in the sun. I'm happy with it.

Almost!

Tried to get my Aeron chair in the boot. Need to take it for repairs. I was able to fit the chair in the car, I just wasn't able to fully close the hatch. The casters are hitting the window, so I don't think it would be good to bungee or tie it down. Time to phone a friend...
