An actual Mini

That’s the problem with Arsenal. They always try to walk it in.

If there are more specifics on this new line, I hope they will Get ‘em Out By Friday!

You might add valet parking to this. Provided there’s a dedicated lot, robot driving could streamline parking a visitor’s car (including shuffling cars that are double stacked), and make retrieving cars faster, by eliminating the back-and-forth wind sprints of valets hunting down cars, bringing them around for guests,…

Rule of thumb - Use a joiner to do one side. Planer to do the other side.

Those CV carbs are not too hard to rebuild. The problem is that you had to pull them from a GS450 - the worst airbox install ever.

I’d put the electrical service at the top of your list. Often garages are wired only to power some lighting and an opener. If you plan to operate more robust tools, re-wiring a garage to add more circuits may take a lot of planning and money, depending on where the garage sits in relation to the home’s main panel,…

If you just need heat, use a heat gun ($20). Faster than a hairdryer, and better for your marriage., relationship status, etc.

Clinton should have used a more secure communication channel. Like, say, diplomatic cables. Oh wait . . .

Worm-drive saws do cost more, but they will pretty much last forever. With a good blade, a worm saw will blast through almost anything, hardwoods, plywood soaked in release agents, treated lumber, etc.

Did you really type "in airquotes" instead of using the unbridled power of a keyboard??

Agreed. A trim guy might use this, but he/she would not need so much clamp storage. If you just want to organize these things to roll around the shop, then use a much bigger compressor, and rig up a network of air hoses and connections (like along ceiling joists, etc.). Then use a cart like this to move clamps,…

People still try to VIN-swap classic Minis from the 80s. Sometimes they want to pass a plain 70's Mini off as a Mk1 Cooper S. Other people put old VINs from the 60's/70's on Minis from the 80's/90's to account for emissions problems. In many states, classic/antique cars don't need to satisfy emission standards, or…

I had auto -lenses back in the 80's that were way too slow to be effective. But the transition lenses I've used for the last several years work great. Yes, the UV blockers in all modern windshields interfere with the darkening function, but a BOGO special a few years back let me get a set of Rx sunglasses to keep in…

Most basic home electrical is pretty straightforward, but I'd huddle with the electrician before you DIY the rough-in. He (or she) can tell you about Code details, and (most importantly) confirm that he/she will pick up the project to finish it. It would suck to do a bunch of rough-in only to have an electrician…

At the UberPLUS rates, I demand that only brand-new hammers be used in the assault. I paid too much money for the driver to just wipe off and re-use the hammer from his last victim.

Some more items for the kit:
