    My ding is on my tach. When the temp gets around 36/37 degrees the MINI figures there may be ice on the road, hence the "ding" sound.

    Much too early for the "ding".

    lol, I haven't heard my first ding of the season yet, but it's been cold enough already for it. I remember talking to a MINI owner from Florida who'd never heard it. I use the first ding of the season as the time to change over to my winter wheel setup.
     
  5. lol ohhh i've never had a "ding" like that before. it never gets THAT cold down here in SoCal :D i guess that's a good thing, but it's also kind of a bad thing cuz sun hits my face most of the time during the year.

    but at least you haven't gotten a ding ding like a rock ding. like my ding

    I got curb rash two weeks after I first started driving Spike. :mad2:
    I fumed over it. Went out in the garage and stared at it trying to figure out what to do; repair, replace or ignore.

    Several folks said to just ignore it and you'll stop worrying about it over time. How true. Now the only time I think about it is when I'm giving him a wash.

    Poor Spike :rolleyes:

    In early September it was 23F outside in the morning for a few days where I live. Much better now - low 40s.
