Re: Wheel Opinions

I'm laughing at RagTopDay's comment. I like them both, but I think I like the 10's better(maybe 'cause they color coordinate with the car.

Re: Classic Mini Fun Run #4 - Redux March 2015

Well, I am going to have to cancel. I have several opportunities to work that weekend and, being self-employed, just can't justify not taking them. Sorry. I look forward to the next time!

Sorry for the delay, just got back in town and checked the calendar and last years calendar to make sure. Looks like I am good to go! Sounds like fun! I need to run Moxie a bit to make sure she is up to it, but I am looking forward to it! Thanks for including me!

Re: Garage Day - July 19, 2014

Thanks all for the help today. Was very happy with what got done! Rides great! Wasn't stymied, just didn't want to take all the time on lift knowing others were waiting and knew it would take another bit of time.

Re: Anyone up for a garage day? July 2014

I am not due for any repairs, but I would like to help and learn some things. I work until 4 on Saturdays, but should be free after that. This...this is what Garage Days are all about. Coming to lend a hand, learn about the cars, even when you don't have something to do on your own car. It's awesom...

Re: Anyone up for a garage day? July 2014

I have a spring compressor, but if you're installing struts with springs already on them you won't need it. I've changed springs without one, but sometimes it can be tough. The strut is the shock, so you'll be putting new shocks in already from the '06. I think top mounts would be a good idea at th...

Re: Anyone up for a garage day? July 2014

So, I need a little help in regards to the front struts and shocks around the r52 cabrio. One of my front struts has a slight bend and is leaking, so I have a friend that has unused front struts and springs from his 06 Cooper S that he had because dealer put on the JCW's. From what I can tell, it lo...

Re: Anyone up for a garage day?

Would front struts and shocks all around be doable? Be glad to help with whatever else needs to be done on others cars! Ragtopday's car not mine, btw :)

Re: Classic Mini Fun Run - Part the Third! UPDATE March 20-2

Thanks, Minidave, for putting together another fun trip. I think NWA would be fun.

I put my pics on the club FB page. Enjoyed seeing everyone's photos.

Is this something that would be handy to have for the club?

Re: November Shop Day - 16th

Another So.Mo. trip would be awesome! I think MiniManiac would be interested as well. Told him some about our trip last spring.
