I haven;t studies since i got here... All there is is reading.

 

How about some work on your grammar and punctuation. Ken

 

Blake, what time does the mail arrive? They do have mail delivery in Ann Arbor? It probably comes by way of the Artic via dog sled. Ken

 

Good one

 

Score one for the over 20 crowd. You know the old folk. How come no answer? :impatient Ken

 

No anwser to what?

 

No answer from Blake. He never misses a chance to get back at us (me). Do you think he might really be sick? Hope not. Maybe he is studying for an English class. Oh, I forgot he said he never studies just reads. Ken

 

He might acually be in class today. I know he has one at 10am and 4pm, just not sure what days. Also if he is feeling better, he could be anywhere.

 

I hope not wearing out my tires. Ken

 

Very true, treadless tires won't do you much good

 

He's at the dealership getting his left half-shaft (driveshaft) replaced.

Steve

 

Its more fun to pick on him when he's online anyway

 

The saga continues.... They put the old shaft back on since it didn't fix the problem and it broke as he left the dealership. They are now "fixing" it.

Steve

 

So now they will fix it, but may not be the problem ?

Or was the dealership just trying not to fix it in the 1st place

 

According to them it wasn't broke. So now it is definitely broke and they will have to fix it. Whether or not it fixes the original problem is no longer the main issue. Right now, he can't drive the car.

Steve

 

I wonder if he will get a MINI as a loaner

 

Back. What a ****ing nightmare. They put the orighnal back on, and aparently the tec forgot to connect something and bam i's without power. I was sitting in the middle of the damn road. needles to say, thhey attached the halfshaft (the right way) and I drove home. INTO TRAFFIC! And just as soon as I got onto the freeway that would normaly mean I was 45 minutes away fomr ann arbor in good traffic, i get a call. The guy is waiting at my house with my wheels. I told him to wait for an hour and I would be there as quickly as possible. As son as I got past the traffic, i took off. I was doing 110 for a good while. Thn I hit more traffic, etc. Anyways, I made it to ann arbor in 45 minutes (even with traffic :D) and bought the wheels. Ken, your wheels are in the back of my jeep. I will ship them tomorrow. They look mean.

Crapy pic:

 

Blake, does "they look mean" refer to your new wheels or the ones' your sending me? In any case I take it the check arrived. A real bummer any time you (and the rest of us) let the dealer touch our minis'. I dread having to go to the dealer about my disfunctional motor mount. At least you seem to be rid of the cold. Ken

 

Almost completley. I have a little chest congestion, but it's not a problem.

Both look mean :D I didn;t get a chance to really clean yours, sorry. It was 8 by the time I got them off my car.

Now Im gona go party and feel better.

 

oh, Ken. Can I send the wheels to Steve's shop, or would you rather I sent them to your home?

Shipping would be cheeper to the shop plus you can put anti sieze on the centering rings there.

 

 

What ever is easiest and cheapest for you as long as its ok with Brad and Steve. The wheels look hot on your mini but do they make it go any faster? Ken

 

Actually, yes. Due to the smaler diameter, acceleration is qicker. Right steve?

 

40 series? It helps, but if they are heavier then you might be slower. But, as I remember, Ken has s-heavies so he should improve greatly.

Steve

 

wheni dumped the s-heavies and run flats, i lost 6# per corner.
went from 46# to 40# and i'm runing 215/45 on a 7.5 rim
