added coolant. The dealer said I probably have a leak since the fan stays on after the ignition is turned off and I've had a couple of instances of temp gauge light on. Will take it in next week to get checked out. I think I'll be adding coolant every day til then.

 

Put the snow tires on.

Put the snows on Mom's Clubby, too.

 

My girlfriend suprised me with a subby antenna from Craven Speed. I was all like AWWWW thanks babe!!! Looks much better than that long OEM antenna. She also got one for Scion tc.

 

I built a lightbar. I like to see and be seen

 

Its hard to be seen when you are blinding the other drivers.

 

wow any night shots? Might as well not run a front plate at all! lol it cant be seen.....your in Cali and have a Texas plate?

 

Pretty neat! What kind of lights are those?

I bought the car in TX and it has 7 months left on the reg so i wasnt gonna change it until absolutely necessary. They will be wired today and i'll shoot some "night" shots in the shop with it all closed up.

 

Anzo LEDS. I helped to develop them for our off road program but since they are so bright and small i figured why not?

 

some idiot in a pick up truck cut me off on the highway, in the rain, while I was doing maybe 60 in the fast lane (not cool). I layed on my horn, flashed my high beams, and zoomed right around him

 

Went out for a nice little pre "Winter" drive.

 

I wired up my LEDS and installed a set of HID's, I Seafoamed, did an oil change, trans fluid change and fixed my leaking power steering pump hose. I removed the crappy looking factory stripes on the hood (the Texas sun had taken its toll) and then cleaned all the adhesive residue off the hood.

After all that I digitized the car so i could make some graphics for the side and hood.

And today was slow day! I wont go into all the work i did on the wife's LX 450.

 

Hint: Put a layer of VersiShield on those new stripes. I did it for mine and they still look new 2yrs later. BTW, how strong do you make your coffee? LOL

 

wow lol it even hurt my eyes just looking at the pictures. pretty darn nice man.

 

Awesome lights. Great job.

 

Ever had Israeli coffee? Very similar to Turkish coffee...STRONG! I am powered by Monster during the day!

Actually my wife had to fly back east to see her family and i am trying to get everything done for her as a Hanukkah gift.

You know whats funny? after installing the HID conversion i had to aim the light up a bit and thought it was amusing to have to do it based on an arbitrary spot on the ceiling Good thing my shop height is 16 feet!

Man am i having fun with this car! Graphics today. pics later.

 

Strong? Ever try US Arny coffee made in a pot that ain't been cleaned since Valley Forge? LMAO

 

I was coming home from a MINI Club Meeting last night when I saw a POS coming up on me a little to fast, so I hung out along side a pick-em up, lights flashed a couple times, but hey...I was motoring, not needing to be anywhere in such a hurry, maybe someone else should learn this lesson!! Oh wait, he never will...until he's in a MINI!!

 

Reinstalled my roof rack today, I have to pick up a Christmas tree and i doubt it is gonna fit inside. I always used my 87 4runner but I sold it earlier this year. I have the roof rack install down to about 3 minutes total now.
It just doesn't look right to me always on though so I have to remove it when not in use. I did see where the paint is worn a little from one of the mounting point plugs on the roof... I have to track down some good touch up paint this week and take care of it...

 

that is hilarious!! I cannot stop laughing!

 

Had a screw pulled out of the driver's rear tire.

Luckily it was a very short one (1/2"), and didn't go deep enough into the tread to cause a leak....

DO NOT mess with the MINI's on the road

 

I installed my Magnaflow catback last night.....it was belowe frezzing in the garage. I had to take it to a shop to get the two bolts that connect to the cat cut off because they were compleatly fused together. It was a real pain to get the hangers into the rubber holders. Its just to tight up under there. I think im starting to like the tips more now that i have them......oh and the sound... it ROCKS

 

Put brand spankin'-new snow tires on Bjørn! We're ready for the latest snowstorm MN will be dishing out tonight and tomorrow.

 

What is this "snow" of which you speak?

C ya,
Dutch
