A few weeks ago we did a lot of hard work on him. We managed to get his brakes working (mostly), fixed all his lights and got most of the electrical problems worked out! We were so excited.
 |
| After all was said and done, we started putting the interior back in. |
 | |
| Instead of being useful, I took the opportunity to walk around and take pictures. |
 |
| See what I mean? Not being useful at all. There was a fly just walking back and forth on the mirror. |

| Our 2006 Cooper S. Just felt like taking a picture of her... because I can. ;) |
 |
| Yay, the interior is back in! We'll replace it with something nicer later on. :) |
Luckily, we have an industrial park literally across the street from our house. We decided to take Pippin's first flight down through their parking lots.
This is where we learned that apparently his speedometer doesn't work - it went to roughly 15mph and just stayed there.
 |
| And we're off! Across the street and through the industrial park! |
 |
| Jimmy said he had a bit of trouble driving in his boots. The pedals are very, very small and close together. |
 |
 |
| The speedo - stuck. Not sure how fast we were actually going. Also, apparently, the gas gauge doesn't work either. |
 |
| After we finished up the little test drive. Apparently his driver's side back brake likes to stick - he left quite a few marks in the driveway. |
Unfortunately, we haven't been able to work with him since then. We've had quite a bit of stuff come up - new jobs for the both of us (at the same time -- eep!) and other various things. Once things even out we'll work on it more. Looking forward to it!
Also, I forgot to post all of our stuff for MotD, which was a blast mind you! We took the '06 this time around, had a great time. Took plenty of photos and drove all over the place. Here are the photos:
