Well, the wet spot is toward the center/left side underneath the vehicle (on concrete). I'll lift the MINI and double check this afternoon.

Thanks,
Ted

Checked where the antifreeze/coolant is coming from, and its coming from the left hand side. I'm afraid it might be the thermostat gasket that might be leaking.

Of all the mods we've done to the FPD this is one I expected the least from & was wayyyy surprised - I wish I'd/we'd done it much sooner. It's a must have IMO.

Big Thanks has been very quiet, must be a lot of people looking forward to AMVIV. On a side note when my Daughters Beetle had issues in Pomona I went looking online for a service facility other then the dealership that would be able to fix the car. I wanted a place like Custom Mini Shop where they would be reasonable and have quality fixes and offer advice to a young female college student on what needed to be fixed and what could wait to be fixed. I made my decision from reviews that other had left for the service facility. This is great for people that are not in the area or who don't search NAM. I found Custom Mini Shop on a local yellow pages search and am posting a link incase you feel inclined to do as I have and write a review.

Chief & Dr.Steve: Thanks for your voicemail today on the CF scoops. I was having a rough day & when I got the message it totally turned my day around. Thanks for all your hard work & I can't wait to get em' on the FPD. Tomorrow's going to be a crazy 14-hour day, so I won't be able to get over there. I can be there early, early on Wednesday if need be (or we can do it in LV). Thanks for the uber-hookup!

It can - that's for sure. I'm trying to cram a 6 days into 48 hours. It's not working out so well. How's the TSW suspension settling - can you tell after you got the car back from Dave? Oh, how're the wheels filling out the wheel well(s)? Picture mang, picture!

Tomorrow morning the cars will be loaded up, coffee cups will be filled, gas tanks full, tire pressures checked and bladders emptied as we head for VEGAS The TSW setup is outstanding and the ride is night and day to the old stock setup with run flats on.

My pleasure and you're welcome. Thank you for the compliments and trusting me with your MINI.

Continuing to keep Nick in thoughts and prayers during his recovery.
