Stealth
One of my favorite types of 'moding' a car is the sleeper type.
You'd usually see a rather 'ordinary' or stock car on the outside, but pull it up to the tree (xmas tree/dragstrip lights) and then you will truly see what sleeper means.
Mini Launch has been behaving awesomely lately, well maybe because I tend to look the other way when something goes wrong, not going off on it but rather just fixing it and making it better.
We have almost cover 10.000 kms since the rebuild and belive me when I say: we've had some good times!
So with the engine done, I can't stop thinking about the next level, and so I keep pondering...
To boost or not to boost, that is the question

Thought du jour.
Hang on to your seat.
It´s not just an expression in a MINI.It is a rule.

No more tears
Just when I thought I had figured out how to take care of my car. (gas, oil change, tire pressure, water, air filter, etc.) You know, basic "girl car knowledge". I was to keep my husband company while he replaced the water pump. Well, that was the hooking line, just replace the water pump.
Not quite. MiniLaunch was spread apart. We created a gasket around the cleaned water pump. We cleaned the area around the area where the gasket would be placed and carefully inserted the clean pump.
Done? well no. We then changed the conveyor belt, replaced the fan, cleaned around the area. Just in time to start raining. Thankfully it only sprinkled for a bit, so we were able to replace the radiator, the attach the motor mount, fill the radiator and tada! star the car.
Just when I thought we were done... we had to wait until the water boiled, to replace the cap and then... put the hood back on, in hopes of stoping the leak. My husband put all the wires back behind the grill and we finally had a roaring mini with no more tears.
Wow, I am amazed I can remember all these names (pat on the back)
