Doug , once we return from portland I will investigate the fuel gauge issue and contact DRMINI.

Mike , it will be nice to say hello again !!! What are you bringing down ??

Sean , Sorry to hear your MGF wont be making it .Don't think we have met but we will saturday

My cooper S is FAR from any show car status but its the first time in MANY years I have had a mini on the road. It does have collector plates though.... Must get another built for mini meet next year as its a 20 minute drive !!!

Scott and I are carpooling in his Midget, Aaron is bringing the Racing Landcrab. The 1100 has been slumbering for too long to wake on such short notice.

Look forward to seeing your car in Portland. I was planning on bringing my MGF, but the gods have interfered and she won't be making the trip.... :(

Craig, if I am remembering this correctly, Kevin Green (DRMINI) had a similar problem with one of his fuel gauges several years ago.  You may want to send him an email and ask what he found to fix his car's problem.

Thanks Rick ! Have yourself a great holiday too !!

Now that the " Final " is done on the house , I look forward to spending some time in the shop

Doug , yes that's me with my 68 S. Six more minis to start on once we return from portland !

Larry , never really sorted out the issue with the stabilizer :( The fuel gauge goes up at idle and down when running , got me puzzled but keep enough gas in the tanks ........

Recently brought another project home .... 65 surf blue "S" Now I have seven .... Retirement can't come soon enough ......

Craig. Did you get the instrument voltage stabilizer sorted out?
