    That is an extreme measure for a battery replacement. You can pick up a battery from pep boys & save thousands.... ;)

    Yup there's no hope for her now. Now she needs a camel hair detailing brush to get here started on the downward spiral to OCD MINI ownership.

    That is good to know Don. We need the 4WD for snow, but mainly muddy fields. For some reason Horse Shows rarely have paved parking lots. :nonod:

    I don't think I'll get away with much modding on her car, but you never know. The MINI thing may catch her, as it has me. :D

    ^^^^ The detailing is his job, she gets to drive and get it dirty. Ask me, I know that is how it works. :)

    Well, I was getting and out of the CM the other day and something seemed wrong, but I could not put my finger on what it was. Then I realized I was not hearing the windows dip (I have to listen for that, to be sure it doesn't stick open). I had not noticed that the window has a full frame around it. I rather like that. I don't hear any road noise when my wife calls while driving. There is a lot with my R56.

    Did I mention she is currently driving a 2001, Ford Explorer, with almost 200,000 miles on it? It gets gallons to the mile, rather then miles to the gallon. :D

    Sadly, you are right. I laugh every time I see one of those. I guess they must be kidding someone. :D

    Congratulations, another sensible 2 MINI family. :)

    You will like the CM in the snow, our ALL4 is really better than our Jeep.

    I would suggest the NM exhaust upgrade, still trying to figure out how to sneak that one on the wife's CM, I did update the exhaust tips, now I need the rumble. :devil:
