What did the leper say to the prostitute? Keep the tip. Ok, that was bad, but those tips aren't--very nice, they'll look great come summer time with a shiny car...
Hi! Pictures of the car look great! I have a couple of questions. You say the car gets around great in the snow and on ice but what amounts of snow accumulations are you dealing with? Realizing you live on the north shore of Lake Ontario, I live south of Lake Erie right in the snow belt. Our yearly snow fall average is 120-144 inches. Snow storms are usually 4-6 inches today, tonight and tomorrow. Accumulating one to one and a half feet. The front end of your car would be used as a snow plow where I am and it would just be packing into the front lower grill opening. I have often thought about and AWD mini for the winter. I currently have a 2005 R52 JCW.
I don't understand your questions? What do you want me to answer? I don't measure "how many inches" of snow we have here in downtown Toronto... We have far more than I would like to see off ski slopes:biggrin5:... My MINI is sure higher than R52, there it is... I am not lowering it for sure. For one reason is that this is my all year around vehicle, not "garage queen" (done that with my last R55). We did have some nasty weather past few months: lots of snow (comparing to last few years at this location, not somewhere else like in your town or North on James Bay:wink... Then, we had great ice storm but our crack smoking Mayor refused to call it "emergency"... Thru all of this redBARON never let me down. Never a slip, spin or anything that would cause harm to people inside. I could not be more satisfied. This MINI is rushing fast to be a "favorite" or all I had so far...
Your Mayor Ford has nothing on Washington DC mayor Marion Barry. Barry was videotaped smoking crack cocaine and arrested by FBI officials on drug charges. The arrest and subsequent trial precluded Barry seeking re-election, and Barry served six months in a federal prison. After his release, however, he was elected to the DC city council in 1992 and ultimately returned to the mayoralty in 1994, serving from 1995 to 1999. That's right he got busted smoking crack with a hooker, served time in JAIL and was re-elected. :lol::lol::lol:
Same for you, Dave: if you like RO-FO, you can take him! I heard he likes American Football a lot...:wink:
That's ok we have enough fat slobs in government jobs here in the US we don't need another one. We would like you to take Justin Bieber back.
But why? He goes so good with all other treasures you have down there: Kardashians, all Housewife shows, Teenmoms, Scientology super stars, etc... And we don't want him back, he is broken goods now:ihih:
They may be low, but we do have standards.:wink: Unfortunately, the ones keeping them low are the ones that get all the press!
:cornut::crazy: Okay, okay we'll keep him along with our guns and the Bill of Rights but were going to send 'Hope and Change' up to you, okay?:lol::lol: Jason
Not cool. I wouldn't wish that on even North Korea. Ok, we'll maybe North Korea, but definitely not Canada. It didn't take much for Canada to invade Poland and bomb Pearl Harbor and start that whole WWII thing; I certainly don't want to give them reason to bomb us. Except for maybe Detroit, I'd be alright with that. You have to be a student of history on these things...
I have to admit that while I like my 2014 JCW Paceman All4, I can't honestly say that I love it. The jury is still out, regarding whether I made the right choice after I sold my 09 JCW Hardtop last Fall and picked up the Paceman. Nothing at all "wrong" with the car. Just not sure if it's "me"..
You know, I haven't even replaced the stock knob yet. :blush2: Maybe that's the first clue to myself that this car might not be for me..
Maybe it's just this ridiculously long, cold, boring winter. Once it warms up and I have a chance to get outside, maybe throw myself out of an airplane once or twice, I'll perk up..
I have had my JCW for about 6 months and 13k miles of twisties and mountains and i love the hell out of the car...alot of times i forget im in a larger mini compared to my R53...that AWD really picks up the slack
