    I met a guy in the store parking lot the other day who told me he has a Mini. It's a small town, so I said that I was surprised I had not seen it around. He told me he keeps it inside and only drives it in nice weather. This car is way too much fun to drive to do that and I can see that you motor with yours.

    Seems to me that the whole point of wanting to own a MINI, is to motor a MINI. Not hide it away, and save it for someone else to motor:mad2:

    Mark, do you have all the speed limits converted in your head or do you have little mph stickers stuck on the speedo? :D

    In my head, on the fly. Lois on the other hand, not so much. We were traveling up to Canada a few years ago, she was driving, and I would have to keep pointing out that 140 was a tad over the limit:lol:

    Nik, have those been trouble free miles? What needed attention, if anything?

    I've manage to dont put so many miles on the MINI since i moved closer to work now...

    I want from 102 miles one way down to 38.

    My 06 is at 133k for now... cant wait to see that number jump for MITM!

    Trouble free, no - but I have never been left stranded:Thumbsup:

    For the most part I would consider normal maintenance on a car w/ this many miles. Obviously quite a few sets of tires, and I wont mention mods.

    My list: valve cover gasket ( I caused the problem), Oil pan gasket, supercharger (@191k miles), cv joint boots (its lowered), 1 axle, 1 battery, couple sets of brakes, door lock actuator, window regulator, control arm bushings, and just did the power steering pump.

    Again, none of those things seem out of ordinary to be replacing at this milage.

    With the exception of the supercharger, it's been a very trouble free car for the miles.:D

    Currently the passenger door lock actuator is bad, along w/ the window mechanism on the passenger side. Mini wants $180 for the window mechanism, but it can be fixed w/ a $5 cable. Next weekends project.

    I realize this is an old thread; this is the trouble with my 03 passenger side window mechanism....how do I fix it with this "$5.00" cable...how difficult to repair ??
    THANKS for your time and help !!
