Re: Mouse in my MINI

Knot up some string on the trip pan and imbue with peanut butter. Rub the pb into the string and the bugger will tug on it and zap. Suggest you place trap on a liquid proof barrier, like a plastic bag.
Happy hunting.

Re: April Shop Day - April 20th

Yes, with the pulley you do use a colder plug. If you are using NGK iridium plugs, the part # is BKR7EIX or stock # 2667.

Re: 2013 KC Auto Show Observations

Great write-up. And I agree about the generic look of so many new cars. At least MINI's have a distinctive look.
