Both of your MINI's are now in our shop.

 

Hey.....I thought you guy's were "always" at the shop. So what gives I stopped by this morning (altho it was 2:30am) and nobody was home. I guess I'll just have to take my business somewhere else.!!

 

Were we your 1st stop after the bar closed.

 

I wished....... Did an "all nighter" with 300mi of windshield time thrown in for good measure.

 

Don't you just love being on call.

What time did you go in today? Or are you still there.

 

Left at 7pm yesterday for Fresno, then to Stockton and back home at 5:30am this morning. Slept until 10ish and in the office for a couple hours this afternoon to get my NAM fix.

 

Busy, busy. Have to quench the NAM fix.

 

BACK FROM MY RUN TO THE COAST
DID THE BORING RUN OUT 198 TO COLINGA AND THEN IT GOT FUN. 198 FROM COLINGA TO THE PARKFIELD CUTOFF. TOOK THIS ROAD ALL THE WAY TO 41 AND THEN 41 INTO ATASCADERO. 41 ALL THE HAY TO 198 AND HOME.
THIS MIGHT MAKE A GOOD RUN. THE PARKFIELD ROAD FROM 198 IS A KICK IN THE PANTS TIGHT AND TWISTY. AFTER ABOUT 7 MILES THOUGH IT RUNS OUT OF PAVEMENT AND BECOMES A 20MPH DIRT ROAD FOR ABOUT 5 MILES. WITH THE DSC OFF THE ROAD FEELS LIKE YOUR DRIVING ON ICE, BUT WITH THE NANNY ON YOU CAN REALLY FEEL HER WORKING. IT TURNS BACK TO PAVEMENT AND A LOT OF HIGH SPEED SWEEPERS AND STRAIGHTS. I MADE MY FIRST BIG OFF ROAD EXCUSION RIGHT HAND SWEEPER, HIGH SPEED, MINI JUST KEPT DRIFTING TO THE LEFT, TOTALLY OFF THE ROAD, BANG CRUNCH, WATCH OUT FOR THAT FENCE, BANG AND BACK ON ROAD ALMOST GOT MY DARLINGTON STRIPES. AS I GOT IT ALL CORRECTED I LOOKED DOWN AND WAS STILL DOING 70. EVERYTHING FELT FINE, PULLED OVER WHEN I GOT TO THE PARKFIELD CAFE TO SEE IF I HAD DONE ANY DAMAGE, EVERYTHING STILL INTACT INCLUDING THE SPLITTER, THANK GOD FOR THE SKID PLATE. BUT YOU COULD SEE WHERE THE BRUSH AND DIRT MADE CONTACT. HOLLY PERFORMED BEAUTIFULLY TODAY. IT FELT GREAT TO FINALLY GET TO GO OUT AND DRIVE THOSE SCROTH HARNESSES WORK GREAT THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME RUNNING WITH THEM.

 

Sounds like you had fun, but watch out for those off road adventures.
I'm headed over there tomorrow afternoon for Brits Jr. High Graduation.

 

It's nice to see you finally took a day off and went for a drive. Sorry to hear about your off-road adventure in your non-off road vehicle. Had you been this way before, or was this your first time?

 

Today was eventfull. I added an APD, Aerogel shield, blue plug wires, and TSW wheel studs.

Steve, I will leave that red loctite on your porch tomorrow. Thanks again for letting me borrow it.

 

The run sounds good, all the way up to the DIRT part. This is where you will loose everyone. I did my dirt road on the way back from the Dragon.

 

Robert,

And my new mods: A wheel stud kit:



m7 Air Plate Diverter



Kingsbourne Firebraided plug wires and m7 Aerogel heatshield cover

 

Nice pics

We took some at the same place when we did the Mamouth run.

 

It's a nice spot. It's also one of the only places where theres a pulloff next to a great vista.

 

The veiw from there was great.

 

Ya. And its a great drive out there.

 

Going to half to do that run again before you leave.

 

Ya. Lets try and work it out for some weekend or weekday next month.

 

You only gona do 1/2?

 

English is a second language. Bad English is his first.

Steve

 

I left your loctite on the table out front. Thanks again.

 

You're welcome.
