Alfa Brera to Mini Cooper is just madness, but being the hipster he is, this is probably the attention he wants

Red wheels on the M?

[Kielan]

Should have given me the Alfa, I would have melted minds with it in the states.

[stinkinrich]

Best colour combo on the Mini they did for sure. Not a touch on the Alfa though. Still, what are the plans?

[Kielan]

So tired.

So I just did some math, even after all of my spending that I will be doing this summer. I will have the most money in my bank account I have had at the end of a summer ever. Just over 1 grand LOL.

Time to buy something car related....

Time to buy something car related....

Here's what I'm buying for the car.

500 in parts for maintenance (at dealer rates otherwise that'd be like 2 grand lol).
BWS coils.
5D2.

Chances are I'll sell my wheels before H2O, and try to get the wheels I really want for the then.

The rest will be saved (that grand)

Thats pretty good going man as thats all the 46 needs to look proper sweet. Good work.

Should drive incredibly well after all the maintenance is done as well.

Here's the list
Valve Cover Gasket
New FLCAs
Subframe bushings
Rear trailing arm bushings
Trans mounts
Diff bushings
New (to me) trans
New Clutch kit
Shifter bushings
Blower motor (current one is sooooo loud)

Then obviously coils will help a lot as well.

Looking forward to driving what should feel like a 50k mile car rather than a 140k mile car

[stinkinrich]

Yh mine needs valve cover gasket doing too plus front control arm bushes. Such a horrible rumble sound over bumps

[Kielan]

I fuckin smashed the shit out of one of my control arms so I decided why not just replace both while I'm at it.
