B4 i go for a drive, i always check oil/water/brake fluid. And just have a general look for any obvious problems.

I do the same in my Crappadore usually once a week.

I sweep the rust that has precipitated from the underside onto the floor into a dustpan.

yeah well there is two bottles on the left side of the car.....um what exactly are they...im guessing clutch and brake fluids???? just curious..cause its a fair bit different to my bm's engine

On my mini, one is clutch, and the other is break. and it shuld say on it what they are, or have a little picture or something.

They both use the same stuff, so just make sure they are both full. Easy.

No more Minis!......For now.

On all cars - every car ever made - one should say clutch and the other should say brake. Its the only way we are ever going to break the break for brake cycle.

May daily routine is to check the oil and water and then give my credit card number out for the replacement parts that expired during the night.

i check to see howmuch of the floor pan is still attached to the car, then i check around the car to see if anybodys knicked anything off it, or how many new trolley dings its got after being at the shops.
check oil and water, brake / clutch levels, check how much tread i have left on my tires, check if you can visibly see anything unroadworthey.
