Noice numbers on both :tup:

Noice cover ken, who's and $$ ?

Oh...what I did I do today with my z? ....drove it.

Could I come live in your garage? :yum:

Jeez, you even have the Griot's rolling cart? And I thought I was a Griot's whore!

Great set-up.

Well you are not sir, Ken def holds the title around here:roflpuke2:

Thanks. :D. Yah that cart is small and it's a great size. :tup:

Love the Cooper memorabilia on the walls and work bench, Ken!

thanks. it's by QuickSilver. was $170 shipped. :p i really liked how it folded up quickly and into the bag.
the dust cover i bought for the G year ago takes forever to get it back in the bag... (too big and clumsy)



lol! :icon18: thing about Griot's is they have good products, excellent customer support, and lots of fun stuff for your garage. :yum:


thanks, professordave. do you remember Aaron from outmotoring? i still buy their t-shirts and stuff. :D i still have a thing for MINI's in the back of my head so i kept the cooper stuff on the wall. i might get a R56 someday... not sure.

My buddy at work has a Cooper S with lots of bolt ons. Not the fastest thing but pretty cool.

yah, it can keep up with most V6's out there with some driving technique. the car is very fun to drive...but the electronics on MINI's in general is wat kinda kills the fun with the warranty crap...and the fit and finish on the exterior panels is like tolerance of 1cm. :rofl2:

Today.... I had to find a way to procrastinate and NOT do my informative speech for class tonight so I decided to try to fix my exhaust leak.

I looked at my car today thinking at least I still her after ending a nearly four year relationship with my girlfriend. It sucks!

Nice footloose! I need to figure out my exhaust leak too and it sounds like it is coming from the same area your leak was.

I think I heard a hiss sound from mine the other day. Probably why it seems louder. But I love that.

The hiss when letting off the throttle is normal. Mine you could hear when accelerating and it was so obnoxious during a cold start. I finally moved out of my parents house and got a townhouse with a two car garage last week, and I'm sure my neighbors hated the exhaust leak more than I did. I had to do something about it.

Also, last night I noticed that Sutherlin Nissan had a used 40th for sale so I decided to see how dramatic my subtle mods stacked up against one completely stock. It made me appreciate my car and the work I've done.
