I've always thought those looked like antlers. Could just be me.

Well after hurting my little brain for a while I spent $5 at good ol' Callahans general store on a few random brackets, bolts, and nuts, drilled 2 holes, and now both fogs fit like a glove, no adhesive needed.

Yes, I have the worlds smallest car jack. I've been wanting to get a better jack, but there are just better things to spend money on. I don't think I will need a jack to fab and instal a bracket though.

FYI, I recently picked up my 2002 P5 with 57K miles and clean title for $6000 on ebay. $7500 is a good deal for a non salvage with those miles, but for a 2003 with 37k miles I wouldn't pay more than $5k.

Sorry, they cleaned it up and wrapped it, and now you cant see what goes where.

My front struts were leaking at 57k.

I'm totally going to do that. I have been trying to think of a way to reflect high-beams back at cars (tons of drivers in Texas always use their high-beams), but I couldnt think of a clean way to do it (mirror mounted on the headline with a hinge that could swing down when needed?). This...

I installed the OBX on my 02 MINI Cooper S and it added quite a bit of low end torque, but have noticed that my automatic P5 (which came with an OBX header) does lack low end torque compared to manual that I also test drove (though the manual to automatic comparison may have something to do with...

OK, so I thought about it for a while and I think I may be able to come up with a bracket, even with my limited skills. There really isnt much room to get in from below either with the aftermarket bumper, but I should be able to make it work. Thanks for talking me out of glueing it in (though...

I would never buy a salvaged vehicle (again) unless it is half the price of what a non-salvaged vehicle is, because if you get in an accident and your insurance decides that the repairs are close or more than half of the non-salvage value, then they will give you a check for half of the...

My auto gets about 25 mixed city/freeway, FYI.

It saved my interior from whipped cream explosions many times! No, seriously, it has.

Actually the glued in floglight is totally secure. It was the fabricated side that broke off. I cant figure out a bracket mount, mostly because I can't drop the bumper for better access - I can only get in through the hole itself of from underneath.

Funny, I used diamond plate in my MINI that I just sold.

My rear seats had a rip in them, so just folding them down was out. Here's how it turned out. Not to bad for $15 in materials.
