    I would like to think that the generation after have turned a page in their history and hope they have changed.
    As far as quality of doughnut goes, Nobody goes to Krispy Kreme as a norm. They are 5 minutes from my place but I hardly ever go there. It's something done from time to time but not habitual. I still think their doughnuts have way too much sugar but are still better than Tim Horton's. Tim Horton's in Canada are overrated. I have no idea why people like them so much.

    Now let's get back to talking MINIs. Not mini donuts.

    Took my car out for a long run today and parked it outside for a few days.

    I have this little rocket in the garage or paint correction, chip repair, and full ceramic coating.

    I don’t drive the cars I detail, but I have been out for a ride in this one at the Dragon and it’s awesome.

    How does it look in person? From the front and sides and inside it looks great. Now It is Butt ugly from the back but from the inside you can see everything behind you and it’s a rocket ship.

    I never park near other MINI’s unless I know them.

    It’s just weird, and I don’t want to get cards on my car inviting to join some silly MINI cult like LXM.

    A MINI (or any other small car for that matter) would provide greater room for doors to open and lessen the chance for door dings. So if parking away from all vehicles isn't an option and I see a MINI, I'm parking next to it. But then again I've never had an invite card put on my car either.

    When I drive the Helmet I try and park it far away and on an end spot. I don’t double park. About half the time when I come back to the car someone has parked some POS right next to it. Drives me up a wall!

    a long time ago, I parked my car on the far side of the parking lot with no one near me. When I got back, there was a POS car parked next to mine and he ran into my door while trying to park.

    Looks like a fun place to go off the road. We are taking the kids for the camping next weekend, I just got to finish installing the rack and recon light bars on the truck. The Mini will be staying at their grandfather's place as the trail is kinda challenging.

    Buy an aftermarket (RMW) header instead.

    $45 USD works out to about $60CDN. The MINI part from the dealership is $67cdn. So the part really isn't all that outrageously priced in Canada. But my car has given me 15 years and a lot of miles of service. If I can get a good condition part from an auto wrecker for $10 or so, I think that might suffice.

    Nothing there.But there is a gas station with 248 pumps, 20 of them have 91 octane ethonol free gas. (and 65,000 sg ft of reatil space) so I think he got treated rather well even if it was not a ribeye ateak.
