If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.

 Ha ha... Leave the bolts off? NO, this was my 6th Sway Bar and the R56 Rear Underside is much easier to work with!!!! Usually it takes about 5-10 minutes to remove the stock bar but it takes 30 seconds on the new Minis 
Then don't get me started on the Torque... I'm jealous of you Turbo guys!!
The R56 belongs to a friend of mine here in Yakima. He's been waiting for the bar for a couple months while George had to find a new manufacturer so I told him I'd get it done.
If anyone needs one done and wants to make a trip of it, call me and I'd be willing to make something work...
John, I agree, I really want those rear arms!!

Man, you seriously had me freaked out. I thought that was your car, and that the "little paint work" that was being done when I saw you last time was to have the entire car painted!

Pat: I believe we did mine in about 4 hours? 30 minutes to get the bar in, and 3 hours 30 minutes to reminisce about the good old days, drink coffee, and tell stories about our former cars.

Yeah, yeah - that's right. I remember now! Would'a been quicker, but I had to go turn on the coffee pot...
