Run?

If I can finally get this Cooper out of here, I will be installing your short shifter and header tomorrow. I sure hate insurance jobs, I spend more time on the phone than working on the car.

No, that section is not coated so I will use mine. I shipped back yours yesterday, so I get the repaired one.

Cool deal! I'm excited to have the FPD sound like a V12 F1 car. Did you want me to drop off my CF shift **** or am I going to trade you? Thanks for the hookup Dr.Steve!

You just got bumped a day since another MINI unexpectedly came in on a flatbed. You should come by to visit the FPD once in awhile to let it know you still love it.

The header will probably move him out of the stealth mode.

Ok just had the shock of the weekend. Drove up 198 into Sequoia and they have improved the road however lowered the speed limit. It is not 95% of the way up and across at 25mph. That whole slower traffic use turnout did not apply to a bunch of I. D. 10. T. people on the road. Still all in all a nice run back down on the Fresno Side.

Picking up. If people keep neglecting their MINI's maintenance, the Fresno summer will make me rich. Here come the flatbeds.

That's awesome Dr.Steve! Well, not for the suckas who aren't taking care of their cars, but that business is picking up at CMS. Is the FPD getting aligned? Lemme know & I'll come get the car & stash it. Oh, can you order me the DFIC exit scoop? I'm gonna run my DFIC intake+exit scoop(s) & quarter panels into the paint shop, so we can get that done.

Oh, how ya feeling about hardwiring our V1 into the Audi? I'd like you to take a crack at it if you're game. Also, I've gotta drop off the MJ tribute album so you can blast it in the shop.

Speaking of that......... The dreaded P0300 (random misfire) came back on Monday (cleared the code) and again yesterday. So it wasn't the plugs or wires. Same symptoms as before...steady throttle, 3/4 tank of fuel, 3rd gear, 3500rpm....just cruis'n. Coil pack?
Scooby.....good to see yar still alive........

Maybe we can put it on the meter and go for a drive and capture it in action. After next week.

I've got a bunch of stuff to order from M7 when I get a chance. I will be bringing your MINI back to Dave's with the front off so he can align it on Thursday. The problem has been that I lose two hours there every time I go. This time he will lone me the Civic (ricer) so I can leave it and get back to the shop. Where is Brad when you need him?

Steve
