Fracky, can you post a pic of your new roof graphic? I would like to see what you ended up going with. Thanks

I'll have to get a better picture, but you get the idea: "Felix running with a bomb". This is my homage to the B-17 WWII bomber pilots over Europe.

Hey Joe, your MINI is reminding me of the Frackturedmobile because of the previous modding. You can kiss the RDR camber plates goodbye; they are toast. The idiot who installed them left no articulation so they are coming apart. I'm just hoping the coilovers aren't destroyed, also. The good news is that the KWs and TSW camber plates are on and looking good.

Steve

Dr.Steve, I forgot to ask - were you able to get the rear brake setup squared away? This weekend would probably be a good time to brake em' in - no pun intended. Lemme know when I can come pick it up.

It's pretty busy today and tomorrow so I don't know if I'll get to the brakes or intake before Saturday. I still have to get the rear struts on, but those are easy. I have to set up the alignment for the event so you don't feel lopsided, too. Who knows what the setup was up front with all that torque on the front struts. It will probably be after lunch on Friday before you can pick up the FPD.

Brakes before intake. I don't like the grinding sound they're making. Do you need me to make any calls for the alignment? I'm happy to pick up the FPD anytime tomorrow- we have a dinner event in the evening though.

Pick up after noon. And don't drive it fast until after the AutoX school.

Oh no! Are we going to see her out at the autox next? Try Concord or East Bay, I can't remember if they marked up MSRP or not. I'll be at East Bay tomorrow, want me to look?

AutoX was one of the things that she might want to do again, look out Cliff Dr. Steve, i'm just letting you know that she wants to purchase one on account that she will be counting on you after her warranty runs out We looked at a brand new BMW 128i, but she said you can work on Minis If you are up there take a look around It has to be a "S" with auto, Premium package atleast. The more plush the better Chilli Red/White top, or Blue/White top, maybe Silver or Dark Silver too. Thanks.

Anything she can't do without? LSD? Xenon? Anything that would be a deal breaker?
