Re: St. Patrick's Day Parade Leavenworth, Friday 3/17/23

Fun times today, although it was cold it was sunny and the crowds really turned out.....John and Johnna built balloon leprechauns, John got inside one and stood in the back of Don's Pup waving at the crowd - it was a winning combination!!!

Going to be COLD, but my Mini has a decent heater - Johnna if I can convince Don and you guys bring Moxie, we could have 4 Minis in the parade - we'd look like a Shriner's group compared to the others! :D :mrgreen: :lol:

Re: Mini repairs

Water pump while you have the supercharger off....also since you have the oil filter off change the seals behind the housing and the ones under the oil cooler too.

I assume it's at the Roasterie again?

What time?

Do you need volunteers for parking or will it just be first come?

Re: Classic Minis: brake servo or no?

I just removed the A/C from a mid 90's Japanese spec SPi, it really helps in the front of the car, not much else.....before and after pics. I think your best bet is just to leave it alone and drive it....flush the brake fluid, do all the usual maintenance. Is yours an automatic or manual transmissio...

Re: Classic Minis: brake servo or no?

I have one with and one without, can hardly tell the difference, but brake pads make all the difference too - too hard a pad and you really have to stomp on them till the brakes warm up. As most classics don't even do 1000 miles a year, and rarely get driven hard, soft pads are fine. If you plan to ...
