hi! I have a 2002 S manual 6speed that I bought three months ago. I've never been in love with a car before, ha. I was taking a back road pretty quick with a hefty passenger. Something in the under carriage scraped the road briefly. This just happened, so I don't have any other issues to describe. Hopefully it stays that way. I almost wanna take it to my mechanic so they can have a look see underneath. Should i be concerned? Your feedback? thanks!
Welcome to M/A! It won't hurt to take the car in to a mechanic who knows his way around MINIs for a look-see. The age of your car suggests it could be a number of things like struts or springs, so it's better to be safe in the knowledge that someone qualified has given your new ride a visual going over before ending up in a ditch some night, not knowing what may have gone wrong. Good luck! :fingerscrossed:
^^^^ Great advice !! When in doubt have someone knowledgable check it out.....and Welcome to Motoring Alliance !!
wmwny has some good advice. What size are your tires? Depending on the size they will rub a little when hard corning.
I scrape bottom all the time... had a skid plate under the engine on my first MINI. Unless something changes in the way it drives, I just keep movin.
