  1. quick question, had a friend write me about changing to battery in his mini, and he was told the dealer has to reset the computer or it can burn up the altinator? I have not had to replace a battery in brandy's mini yet. Has anyone heard of the before? thanks
  2. That could have been a fun autocross toy.
  3. One of the guys in the office sent me the link to this 1977 in alexandria Has anyone seen it running around. http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/cto/4041839659.html
  4. the rims in the rally photos look nice, but the ratio of center hub to spokes seems to be off on those.
  5. It would be cool to do it up as like a BMC rally team support vehicle. I think it would look good with a vintage restoration.
  6. It would make a nice classic version of Merlin
  7. Stumpled across another classic for sale in VA, and thought I would share. http://fredericksburg.craigslist.org/cto/3977751009.html
  8. decided to leave Watson at home tomorrow, looks like our drive south after will be in thunderstorms. I need to order a defector to keep the rain of the distributor, coil, and alternator. Guess I will have to settle with being Brandy's navigator.
  9. is to route all paved or are the some rough spots, trying to decide if I will do the run or go straight to the picnic.:motor:Watson has enough issues with big speed bumps.
  10. I may stop by to check it out, now that we are just down the road on quantico. Need to replace all watson's bushings before hitting the track, with all 36hp:motor:
  11. While on my way back from picking up a set of wheels for brandy's mini (thanks, Jim). I ran into a grey with back roof r56 with 30 day tags on Ox rd. Helped them break it in from Manassas to Woodbridge.:motor:
  12. Nice to see the sky glowing more than the river, that is the waterway that at one point was so poluted that the river caught on fire.
  13. I can pick up the R112s
  14. had a great drive around the beltway, by the way when I pass you in a classic mini with 36hp you are driving to slow on the highway. MoCo mini hooked me up with a all4 Paceman S through the weekend, only had 50 miles on it. I will definitely work on breaking it in.:motor:
  15. I will be driving watson up and around the beltway tomorrow afternoon to drop him off:motor:. I'll wave out both windows if I see any other minis.
  16. Awesome, looking forward to it:top:
  17. Has anyone heard if this is offically going, it still says tentative on the HR mini website:questionmark:
  18. I will have to look at our schedule but I think I am going to bring Watson out. :motor:
  19. Welcome, very cool car. How to see you around
  20. Great gas mileage and they sell roof racks for them. If it doesn't fit in a mini do you really need it. You may get some second looks with your bike strapped to the roof.
  21. It should ride nice with all the bushings being recently replaced, that is definately on the winter projects for watson
  22. Wasting a rainy Friday surfing craigslist and found a 1961 mini cooper s, though they did not come with a 1275 cc motor till way later. All that orange reminds me of someone!! http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/cto/3851546412.html
  23. Very nice looking, I am a big fan of that reef blue
