Spring is in the air filter

Changed the air filter in the Mini this past week. At least, I didn't catch any bugs, yet. Not shabby looking for being in since last October. I'll see how the new one looks in June. More things to have done on the Mini (we're at 80k miles now) now or in the future (especially at the 100k mark):

• Brakes: pads & rotors
• Brake fluid flush
  
• Have the supercharger rebuilt and reduction pulley installed
  
• Coolant flush (when the rebuilt supercharger is installed)
• New clutch (a stage 1) and a lighten flywheel
• Upgrade the fuel injectors
• New spark plugs
• Engine tune
• New front control arm bushings (urethane probably)
• Valve cover gasket
• Oil pan gasket
• Seafoam the engine
• New serpentine belt tensioner
• New wheels (two of the factory rims are bent! @#$%$@#@)

Those of some of the major things that need to done at some point. Sigh. Good thing the Mini is blast to drive. If this was a ho-hum, yawn of a car, "Next"!
