Hello everyone My name is Pavel, I'm from Moscow, Russia. About 2 weeks ago I bought a '2007 MINI Cooper S. I still have some things to repair (thanks to previous owner), but anyway I love this car
Congratulations and best wishes for successful repairs when you can really enjoy your new wheels. Welcome to MA.
Thank you all! It's '07 Cooper S, 61kmiles (102kkm), AT, Chili Red interior. It was prevoiusly owned by a girl, who didn't know much about manteinance, so I had to spend about $3k to replace fluids and stop oil leaking from the engine, and fix front suspension. I still have to replace the brakes (all 4 rims and pads), and (most important) - get one more ashtray. I will post more pics as soon as i get new DRL
Do you use a dash cam? Is it true that most Russians have them? We've been enjoying many Russian videos on YouTube: http://www.motoringalliance.com/forums/off-topic-fun-games/18687-why-russians-have-dashcams.html
Yes, I do. [ame="http://youtu.be/3MBwo7FWFWQ"]Here's what I recorded today[/ame] Thankfully MINI is a pretty tough car, so it didn't suffer any significant damage. Dash cams are really popular in Russia. We use them... Just in case, you know
Welcome to the coolest MINI forum on the net....... I was just gonna ask about the dash cam but RKW beat me to it...
земляк. Welcome. I am stating to notice that most Russian dash videos end with the exclamation of: "блядь!"
I'm sorry for that exclamation. I guess that at that moment I expirienced very strong emotions and I couldn't control myself completely. It was not easy to remain calm when some truck attacked my car with a Hyundai.
