THANK YOU

 

Over 200,000 views of our little forum One more day and then it's FRIDAY and time to head to Casa.

 

It looks like NAM is back up again. I haven't been able to access it all morning. The last two weeks it has been getting slower, but today I was unable to access it all. Hopefully, it will get faster again.

Steve

 

I was able to access it. Probably "Gremlin Problems"

 

I had no problem during my first posts of the day... Maybe because most people are still trying to get some beauty sleep. I gave up on that along time ago and faced the fact I would still be ugly in the morning

 

Good morning all you MidCal Mini's its Friday and the countdown is in effect to CASA time Put your chairs and maybe a blanket in your boot, we'll see you there.

 

Hopefully NAM is back up

 

 

Sometimes doing things yourself can end up costing more then if you had paid for it to be done by someone else. Especially when it comes to torquing on parts and pieces.

Thanks again Steve and John for fitting me in to do an oil change Saturday. You guys ROCK!

 

What else is happenin' in MidCal town?

 

Watching your car get modded in ways that makes it a one off Dr Steve actually found concrete in his shop

 

I'm super-pumped about all the works that's getting done. I've heard that the vented quarter panels are hawt. Where's JIMINNImachine been? Normally he posts in here like 7x per day.

 

Hey are you one of the new members? Welcome to MidCal Mini's. We have a club that meets once a month and we also go to Casa Corona on Friday nights. Hope to meet you soon............

 

 

Cliff............ .......... So is Fracky next?

 

Steve we were looking at the R56 dash here is a video it has a second part but it gives a great starting point

 

Didn't watch the video, but I hope it's better than the title, they didn't spell "Speedometer" right

 

He did the video because he wrecked his Mini However when you compare taking the R53 dash apart to change out your switch bank and the R56 it is night an day as to what you have to take apart. At some point I plan on putting in the switch for the rear fog lights and the panel with the icon for all the switches. They are saying that Mini of SF will reprogram the computer for a price and make it actually work. Factory installed it is 100 if I have my numbers correct it is over 400 after market. Needless to say I'm not rushing into this although I have installed the fog lamps in so far.

 

East Bay was doing it for $75 when I got mine done 3 years ago.

 

Hey Steve,
When can I bring Harley in for the upgrades? Have you figured how long you are going to need and did you have a chance to check on the gauges? Let me know.

 

On a different topic this is an email my daughter sent me linking to a craigslist post. They say you can find anything on Craigslist this is a new one to me;

A Craig list posting someone found and linked.

I was the white guy with the black Burrberry jacket that you demanded I hand over shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I hope you somehow come across this message.



I'd like to apologize. I didn't expect you to crap your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket. Truth is, I was wearing the jacket for a reason that evening, and it wasn't that cold outside. You see, my girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber 1911 .45 ACP pistol for Christmas, and we had just picked up a shoulder holster for it that evening. Beautiful pistol, eh? It's a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head, isn't it?



I know it probably wasn't a great deal of fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge flopping about in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse since you also ended up leaving your shoes, cellphone, and wallet with me. I couldn't have you calling up any of your buddies to come help you try to mug us again. I took the liberty of calling your mother, or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, and explaining to her your situation. I also bought myself some gas on your card. I gave your shoes to one of the homeless guys over by Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all of the cash in your wallet, then I threw the wallet itself in a dumpster. I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell. They'll be on your bill in case you'd like to know which ones. Alltel recently shut down the line, and I've only ha d the phone for a little over a day now, so I don't know what's going on with that. I hope they haven't permanently cut off your service. I was about to make some threatening phone calls to the DA's office with it. Oh well.



So, about your pants. I know that I was a little rough on you when you did this whole attempted mugging thing, so I'd like to make it up to you. I'm sure you've already washed your pants, so I'd like to help you out. I'd like to reimburse you for the detergent you used on the pants. What brand did you use, and was it liquid or powder? I'd also like to apologize for not killing you and instead making you walk back home humiliated. I'm hoping that you'll reconsider your choice of path in life. Next time you might not be so lucky.



If you read this message, email me and we'll do lunch and laundry. Peace!"
