Kinda wondered about that too.

I also think this explains the mincing squirrels sound the car was making... It was probably water cavitating in the pump....
But maybe you could have talked them into getting you the new TVS S/C

Wow, you guys were active in the thread today. Dr.Steve, when's the TSW camber plates coming in? It's been so long since I've seen the Frackmobile I have to keep reminding myself that we have another car besides the SUV.

Hmm... Interesting question. I guess the simplest answer would be never... Or if I get bored enough... I'm not sure which will come first.

UPS tracking says the camber plates should be here on Oct. 15th. You have a MINI? You'd never know it. Everyone thinks I have two.

Steve,
Was that you on Bullard and hwy 168? I'm pretty sure it was, and I was trying my best to get you to pass us! I was going to have my trainee pull you over for something! It's been a long time since I've stopped by the shop. Hope to see you soon!

You were the cop who took the 168 onramp ahead of me? I wasn't sure of the speed limit there so I didn't pass you. I was headed for the All British car show in Clovis.

There were three of four new MINIs and three classics along with a lot of MGs, Triumphs and some of everything else British. The oil leak contest was a crack-up with a Sunbeam Alpine and a MG TD spewing the most for the win and second. You'd figure, if it doesn't leak, it can't be British.

His MINI sucks big time after returning. Lot's of pretty amber dash lights too.

I will be in Fresno on Friday getting LoJack installed. I think all our cars will be in Fresno as were going to take Kathleen to dinner as she will be heading off to the Coast Guard on Sunday. The 04 Hyper Blue Cooper will become her's after graduation and Dr Steve fixes the seat.
