Easy way to stop it, would be to send the person a traffic citation for every infraction in the video. You are posting evidence of you violating the law on a public forum, not a smart move. Not claiming to know the in an outs of the law, but seems like it wouldn't be much of a stretch for them to do it. do much different then a speed camera or stop light cam.

I hope everyone had an enjoyable memorial day weekend. We have one spot left, any takers. Watson is ready to fill it, but if someone wants it it is yours. With an impromtu bbq breaking out, I will bring some sides. I am looking forward to a fun day

Look forward to seeing you there. Sue Craig it's his garage and I am military with kids so you would get much:hahaha:

We have one spot remaining, any takers? you can have 0800 or for a limited time only I am willing to kick Craig out of the 1500 spot if you are not a morning person:wink:

I can see how that clubman grille would confuse the average new MINI owner.

I drove Watson to work today, and had a silver R56 pull out in front of me here on quantico. I pulled up behind him at the stoplight and got the rear view mirror double take follow by an full arm wave.:wavey:

Doing it yourself is pretty easy. Two bolts and caliper comes off. What I will say is do not get the pepboys non-oem replacement sensor, the connection is not a match. You can always just cut the sensor cable twist the two copper wires together and wrap in electrical tape(no more brake light), if you not what to deal with the sensor.

HAPPY, HAPPY, JOY, JOY. Have fun!!!

Well Ebony is safety in the garage, but daughter birthday didn't leave it to do a detailed inspection. What I have been able to do in a quick diagnous: -engine idles fine in park or neutral. -car free rolls in park. -if put in drive grumbling (technical term) sound from transmission Possible likely casues: -broken input shaft (pinion and drive transfer gear on this tran) -ring gear -broken axel The shift linkage with the engine off moves freely through the gears, and if it was transmission was the issue park would likely still work. Hopefully I will be able to get her jacked up and do some crawling around underneath this evening or tomorrow and have a clearer picture. Update to follow soon.

Thanks for clarifying Catalina, looking at what I wrote most probably thought I didn't want to get my chuck taylors dirty

Brandy said Ebony was shifting roughly, so I drove her to work today to find out what she was feeling. All seemed to be fine, but then without warning while driving back up the hill to the house after cross a speed bump, I step on the gas climb to 3k RPMs and BANG!!!, instant lose of drive to the wheels, and the tinging sound of metal bouncing around. I rolled backwards into a parking spot, Park does not work, set the parking break and walked home. Did not climb under due to being in chuck's since its Friday. Once it's stops raining I am going to do some trouble shooting, to see if its catastrophic or just first gear that's gone and I can nurse it the mile to the house. The damn automatic transmission strikes again.:banghead:

Isn't this what those telework days are for

Sweet, you can always find one more thing to PD.:congrats: Next on my list is to try out a white PD roof.

Well after going down the rabbit's hole that is 3309 ATF, i believe that I have come to the conclusion to use Valvoline MaxLife Dexron / Mercon Automatic Transmission Fluid for the fuild change. It meet all the specs for 3309, but is a longer lasting better quality fluid. Anyone think this is a horrible idea, I now open to floor for verbal assualts and opinions.:ridinghorse:
-
I saw this the other day, thinking what to try it on, was thinking of putting I white pd roof on Watson. Now thinking maybe pearl the white.

Up in indiana this week, and saw a stickers look-a-like on the way to work this morning. Black r53 with lime green scoop and mirrors.

I think pd will be fine as its not in contact. I remember we talked about it, and there is a break in the bumper were you are looking to black our so it will create a break for the pd. So you should be able to have a nice clean line very easily without playing the pull the tape quick game. Also the gas cap pops off very easy, if you want to black that out. We are always here to help
