I have noticed a more stable idle in the 100 miles I've put on it today; time will tell. On the advice of a Master Land Rover mechanic, I went ahead and got real heavy on the throttle during the relearn period. I swear the throttle response is much quicker on and off now (placebo?).

Before and after pics attached. Actually my OCD got this one even cleaner after the photo was taken.

Speaking of work, my "temporary retirement" comes to an end tomorrow morning. I start my new job literally around the corner from my old office, so I still have a 7 mile commute which is unheard of in Houston. :happydance:

Since I found a job before my severance money ran out, I did the American thing and bought a new daily driver! Picked up a new 2014 Mini Countryman.

Drove the Z to a brunch meet yesterday and loved every minute of it.

Have a great upcoming week all. :tiphat:

Congrats! :tup:

My 3 week vacation comes to an end tomorrow at 5am. :( I go back for 2 weeks, then off for 2 weeks. It's going to be a long 2 weeks. :ugh2:

Mr Kenchan!!!

I am thinking about replacing my Hotchkis sway bars' end-links with Whiteline or SPL. Question: Is it ok to do this work under the car if I only have the scissor jack I found in the trunk as support? It seems pretty solid. Let me know. :icon17:
