[New Vendor GT Peace Automotive]

Looks promising!

[Classic Mini for sale on our FB page]

Claims there is an embedded link to the listing but I can't find it.

[Need r53 6 speed. ASAP]

Doing the change by yourself? If not, by whom?

[set of wheels]

If they are in reasonably good shape I'll take them; when can I inspect?

[Mini repair shops in DC area]

You should expect to pay at least $300 in labor for this job at any independent; much more at a dealer.

[Breakfast and Blossoms]

I drove some friends around the Tidal Basin this (Wednesday) afternoon; still lots of blossoms out.

[Misfires]

Randmness: I have heard of supercharger inlet tubes leaking but never 'breaking.' Any idea what caused that?

[Passport Repaired Oil Leak Now 3 Codes]

I stopped in Liberty just recently and spoke with the owner (Jim?) He said that he still welcomes work on MINIs, and that one of his mechanics was trained at Sterling.

[The New Clubman at PMOA]

They will be at Sterling December 3.

Bold Rock, yes. Brain cramp.

 

According to their website, India Pressed Apple is still only available in growler refills.

I will be in Nelson County next weekend and can get something from Blue Mountain, Devils Backbone, Wild Wolf, and/or Hard Rock Cider. If anyone has any suggestions or requests let me know.

Consider that plug wires should be replaced every 75k.

 

Why you changing the timing gear and chain?

[Kohl's Cars and Coffee]

Sucks big time . . .

FYI, fax number at Liberty is 703-683-8754.

[MINI part out on DCMM FB page]

Some of those parts are gen-specific; which gen are they?

[Kohl's Cars and Coffee?]

What about Saturday mornings in Great Falls; when do they start?

[Free Tires]

Carl: what time?

[Free Tires]

Carl: happy to take one set and as it appears I am first to respond I will take the 'best' set. Will pick up on Monday. Thanks!

[FS: '05 R53]

There is a 2005 DS/B R53 for sale near me. Low miles (99K), looks to be in good condition, but with no apparent options other than chrono pack. Only visible mods are rear wiper delete, window tint, smoked tail lights, and front aero grille inserts. Recent Virginia safety inspection, but owner must have borrowed someone's wheels for the inspection because the front tires are bald. New clutch. Asking $8K. 703-608-1343.

[Iphone 6 plus holder options]

Can the iMagnet dash part be mounted to the Craven bracket?

[Stereo head]

The Crutchfield suggestion is a good one, and if you don't mind driving to Charlottesville I think they do offer installation services. Worth asking about.

[Happy Hour in Kingstowne]

But are eggs involved?

[free webspokes]

I have posted that I will be happy to take them, but I don't absolutely need them, so if someone needs them, they're yours.

[Happy Hour Shirlington]

Look for me about 6:30.

[More alternators]

I have one and I'm in Centreville.
