I drove the MINI to work this morning and my tire pressure monitor went on. No signs of a flat so far but it got me freaking out since I do not have the run flats anymore. I think my umbrella pressed the monitor button which triggered the light but if anything it was a great reminder to get some tire sealants for the long road ahead.

Good plan Dan. I carry a sealant and a small compressor, just in case.
Oh... and have a great trip to the Dragon.
Thanks. I just bought some tire sealant. And I allready have the air compressor stored in the boot. So I am all set and ready to go. Dragon here I come!
Well how was the dragon experience? I probably will never make it from SoCal.
It was a ton of fun. I couldn't recommend it enough. I should be posting up a recap as soon as I can find the time.
I too carry sealant and a Griot's mini pump. Run Flats are just too hard for this old guy.
Someday you should come to CA and do the 101 from Hearst Castle to Monterey and give me a comparison.
It's 94 miles of mind boggling, heart pumping, crap your pants fun.
I did it during MTTS. I followed a Ford GT and a M3. Kept up with the M3 but the GT was long gone about 40 miles up. We hit speeds of 105 at some points. My radar detecotr never went off but I think we were just luck as it's usually pretty closely covered by the CHP.
I'm adding your blog to my blogroll after my next post. Hope that's OK.
101 is a great road. I drove it a while ago, in a rented lancer, which was ok. Though I'd have to say the dragon has one up on that road. ;-)

That would be?
