Well my luck with Cali hasn't changed and I still wish I never had to go back to the place. So many bad things happen every time I go into that state. Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful and tons of fun for anyone with an open mind.
I love a state that for one, when your driving into it you get stopped at a California Agricultural stop so they can check your car for illegal content, (i.e. fruits, vegetables, plants or are they looking for hemp or people hiding under your seat...your guess is as good as mine) you can't smoke a cigarette in 70% of the state, but the 1 thing I can say good is you can get a great meal at some of the nasty looking places, but all in all just damn good food, period.
Heads up, as I type this I'm on a video conference with my new mechanic and designer and getting the low down on the rebuild of my engine and when I'm supposed to come back out for my inspection and drive. Then go up to the mountains do a photoshoot and back to the garage for another photoshoot with Motor Trend if the car is done in time. Then of course drive that bad boy back home here to the mid-west (Michigan) to show to a couple of my Mini Cooper friends and then onto home in Ohio. Now this time around, its winter and I can't make any real unscheduled stops and check things out because of fucking snow.
While I talk to them I want you to know I've had 2 people in mind to ask if they were interested in doing a picture layout with my car. 1 of them being Vivid whom I have asked and got no response but it was only the other day. She'd be cool because she's from my home state and I could do the shoot when I got there with my car. Now the other I haven't even asked yet, and I have no idea how to ask. But if Tatian was interested in doing a shoot with my car then it would happen before I leave Cali. So if anyone has some input or opinions on either of these girls PM me and let me know your thoughts.
Here is a list of the people working on my car: Fireballed!, m7 Tuning, West Coast Mini aka Johnny's Auto Clinic, Ben's Auto Collision (Paint Work) and last but not least the best interior guy in Cali, Mauricio!
So as suspected I'm delayed on when I return to Cali to get my car but not bad enough to wish I hadn't done this again.
I'll get back to writing more when we finish talking...
-CONTINUED!
Here is the conclusion, the engine needs to be bored out 20 thousands, and re-blueprinted, the head is being remanned and polished again and I'm getting all this for a whopping $1400 bucks, shit i thought it would be more but not biting the hand that feeds me right now. All & All its putting a week and a half delay on the rebuild of the motor. I can live with that!
