Then we would refer to it as the car formally named Barney

I recently pick up a aeroforce interceptor gauge for brandy. It came in a speedcraven pod. So I was wondering if anyone has pulled off a mounting bracket from there MINI that is now collecting dust and they would like to sell.

Very nice, does it have chrome mirror caps or is it just the glare.

Nice, look forward to seeing them:top:

On an R56 they snap on with the molded clips just using a plastic trim bar will pop them off. Not sure if it is the same on a F56

That lead to this full failure. Fun fun, came to pick her up today and the new transmission had a bad pump bearing. So now another week to have another one shipping in. Hopefully third times the charm. Ebony is being a real B@&$/!!!

Might have to stop by on our way to DC that day. Is the C&C every sunday? Might have to check it out with watson another day in the near future.

Thanks, it is a bit of a monet. When standing back it looks great, but if you get up to it you see the inperfections. If I decide to keep it I will redo in paint which sure sharpen the lines. So when are we PDing a union jack on the Lotus:laugh:

I haven't played with the glossifier, so I need to look at some results. At there moment just staying mat

At least you don't live with one of those orange people.

I have always liked that color combo. Thanks for the heads up on the exacto, it took a line or two to get the pressure right. I am happy with the way it turned out for a first try. I got a little bleeding on a few tape lines, the humidity in the garage apparently made the tape not bond fully in places. Here is the gallery of the process for those interested http://s1299.photobucket.com/user/buckshot2191/library/Watson/roof

True, I would be banking on east to west.

I joked with Brandy that I would try to get orders the Cali in summer 2016 and that way the Govt would pay us to drive MTTS as part of our move.

Thanks, I saw where pd now has a primer. I think that will be a must next time. I plan on laying out a design on the white soon. I have a couple ideas I need to test before the picinic

Well, it was the pinion that went, and chewed up the splines on one of the axle in the process. Mini considers this all an enclosed system :banghead:, so ebony is getting a whole new transmission and axle. She should be back on the road Tuesday or Wednesday:rock:

thanks for sharing.

Decided this past weekend to address the burgundy seats in Watson. They were the last remaining piece of his original triple red look (exterior, upholstery, and carpet) a true 70's look. The vinyl was starting to shows some tears, and really go with the blue car and black carpet and door cards. I bought some inexpensive cloth upholstery the give the first try, and below are the results. I will likely replace with vinyl or leather down the road now that I have a good pattern from this attempt. I have definitely improved my sewing skills if nothing else. I still has the backseat to do:frown:

I am surprised you can set your cruise control that high

Result of the lead car braking? How dare you use your brakes. Could have been worded better MINUSA

These are plug and play in 2009 or newer according the those that have installed them on NAM. http://www.waymotorworks.com/xenon-headlight-retrofit-kit-r55-r56-r57-r58-r59.html If OEM are 500 a piece from PMoA. You would paying the same but save the cost of labor.

Yeah, I have read about the smoke but have not have the time the play with it yet. I have only heard good things about it.

great idea, that looks great. almost a nickle effect:top: I will have to keep this one in mind.

I broke down and created an Instagram account just to follow this.

Thank you, Ali and Catalina
