My mom has a MKVIII and it's just over 17' long. I parked next to an MG one time, I really wish I got a picture. You could probably fit that thing in the Lincoln's trunk. And the comically large doors still open to about 80°

Seat Safety Switch posted:Is your car in some kind of gang? Heh. Last summer, Minis Across the States came through Chicago, so I dropped by to visit their meet up in the morning. When I got there, I noted "I heard there were going to be a bunch of Minis here, but so far I'm the only one?!?" There were about 300 of those new-fangled German "Mini" cars though.

I think he means it looks like the default holes right in the middle were bypassed, and then 2 new holes had to be put in to mount it off center.

It looks like there's about 6 holes in the bumper. And there are better ways to mount it than drilling through the bumper.

Tamir Lenk posted:Parallel parking cred? Try finding a spot for this monster on the street. Indeed, parking is so bad all these monstrously huge cars were forced off the street.     I know you joke about it in your other post, but over here there is a very real and virulent hostility from a lot of the old Mini owners towards the new ones, to the point of actually vandalising their cars at events and such. Such attitudes have been slowly fading over time to the point its now very rare but its still about.

So I have this:    88 IROC 350 5.7 Good: I mean, well, just look at it and feel Southern California wind fluttering your mullet. 86k Miles California car (Except when it was stolen and found in FLORIDA in 1992) Identical to the one I had when I was a kid, when they were new, except white. Mine was black. Bad: Original Bose only barely powers one speaker, but I want to keep it stock, so I guess I have to wait for another one to appear on E-Bay or something Dash lights are kinda wonky *Thunk* when shifting from reverse to D when you first goose it - (Strut tower bushing?) Passed smog in August, Failed this month. (Bad cat?) Possible fuel delivery issue (Takes a while to start) Leaky T-Tops (Factory option) Non Functional Horn (Factory option) Some door dings, Paint fading on drivers' side door. Errrrrgh: Every time I take it out someone offers to buy it from me. Cool, I guess. "Are you gonna put some RIMZZZZ ON IT?" "Are you going to modify the engine?" Can't think of a rap song? So: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1v3CzvQ9e_w

I loved mine when I was a kid (my mom was a complete idiot for letting me have one when I was seventeen years old. I'm probably very lucky to be alive.) I love this one even more, now that I have some common sense. And I'm gonna get it on a lift later this week - feels like the "thunk" is coming from the right front of the car. And I notice a little noise when going over speed bumps, not sure if the same issue or related, so we'll go over all the bushings/mounts. Also to check and probably replace the cat, and I think an exhaust mount is out, somewhere. Also gonna check fuel delivery. Shouldn't have to crank the car for 2-3 seconds before it fires up, but I'm told that can be cat related as well.) Edit: And replace the valve guide seals. But I love this car. I haven't seen one in this good of overall condition since they were new. My mechanic of over 10 years probably hates me, because I can't bear the slightest squeak, rattle, or mechanical imperfection. (Yes I can wrench, but I'm in a condo and that's forbidden by HOA) Got a quote from a friend that owns a body shop and we can probably do the drivers door (paint matching/respray), balance both doors, check and rewire dash, fix leaky tops, PDR all the dings, fix passenger side window alignment, etc for under a grand.

Unless you're like, super up his rear end about everything or something, I bet you're one of his favorites. I like your super clean F-body, by the way. It's been a long time since I saw one of that vintage in good condition.

Unless you're like, super up his rear end about everything or something, I bet you're one of his favorites. TBF I've referred so many people to Gary over the years, alongside my own business, that when I do bring in the car for something minor, especially when no/few parts are required, I rarely get charged for it. About once a year on a midsize job, he'll knock off all the labor as a "thanks" for the referrals. He is also someone I happily send my female friends to, as he is respectful, equally as honest as he is with men, and takes time to "show and tell" exactly what's wrong. And if there's nothing wrong? "No charge, I didn't fix anything." And free lift time if he has a bay available (which isn't very often, as his reputation keeps him stacked for days.) He has a fridge full of a variety of awesome beers in the back bay as well. I have the best, most honest, most reasonable mechanic in all of Southern California. :3
