JUST DO IT LIKE NIKE WOULD SAY...HERE IS AN EXAMPLE FOR YOU:
I DROVE OUR MINI FROM ALBUQUERQUE TO PHX FOR AON 07' IT WAS A NICE DRIVE, CAUGHT SNOW BETWEEN GRANTS AND GALLUP. THEN MY MINI WAS TAKING FOREVER TO START WHEN WE STOPPED FOR GAS IN HOLBROOK. STARTER WAS READY TO GO OUT SO WHEN WE STOPPED IN SNOWPACKED FLAGSTAFF FOR MORE GAS I LEFT THE MINI RUNNING. WE FINALLY MADE IT TO OUR HOTEL THAT FRIDAY NIGHT AND AS SOON AS I TURNED MY MINI OFF THAT WAS IT FOR THE STARTER, SO I GOT MY TOOLS AND PULLED THE STARTER OUT.
SATURDAY MORNING I WOKE UP EARLY GOT ON THE ROAD AND WENT TO PEPBOYS IN GLENDALE FOR A WARRENTY EXCHANGE. FINALLY AFTER PULLING SOME TEETH THEY GAVE ME ANOTHER STARTER, I INSTALLED IT AND GOT MY MINI GOING AGAIN...
SATURDAY WE CRUISED AROUND TOWN BUT LATER THAT NIGHT THE LEFT REAR BRAKE LINE BUSTED OPEN SO I SPLICED IT SO WE COULD GET BACK TO THE HOTEL.
SUNDAY WE FINALLY MADE IT TO THE SHOW AND IT WAS BADA$$. AFTER THE SHOW WE DECIDED TO GO EAT BEFORE WE LEFT TOWN, BUT NOW THE ALTERNATOR TOOK A SH*$. IT WAS LATE AND AUTOPARTS STORES WERE CLOSED SO I DECIDED TO TOW THE MINI TO MY NEPHEWS HOUSE. WE MADE IT BACK MONDAY MORNING TO ALBUQUERQUE IN OUR XB THAT MY WIFE DROVE.
THIS PAST WEEKEND WE DROVE BACK TO PHX, HUNG OUT WITH MY NEPHEW AND TOWED OUR MINI BACK TO THE 505.
SORRY FOR THE NOVEL BUT MY ADVICE IS TAKE YOUR TOOLS, JACK AND JACK STANDS AND JUST HAVE FUN. SO WHAT IF CERTAIN PARTS ARE ZIP TIED, SHOOOOT MY ECU WAS ZIP TIED TO MY AC CONDENSOR. IM JUST GLAD THAT OUR MINI MADE IT TO AON 07' IT WAS A FUN TRIP, JUST BE SAFE IF YOU DECIDE TO DRIVE YOUR RIDE.
