My MINI laughs whenever it sees TRUCK NUTZ

 

Quirks ???

Hey KittyMini, that's what you get for buying a new MINI :eek6:.

Us poor people that buy used expect "QUIRKS", besides YOU have a warranty , use it :idea:.

Quirks are what give our babies personality :crazy:.

I have cast spells, spake oaths and made great smoke but my little guy still likes to catch bugs with his teeth.

 

The 06 ragtops have a button above the windshield, which tapped, makes all the windows go down. Sometimes, the driver side doesn't go down with the rest. ut:

 

Oh I do! The little Gremlins make sure that when it's raining (and I mean pouring) and I'm trying to unlock the car the windows and the sunroof automatically open. I can't get my MINI to do it when the sun's shining and it's blistering hot, but if it's pouring rain it will go all by itself.

 

Mine has a Gremlin and he sits behind the wheel! Some say its Poppa Smurf.

 

OOOH, I hope it wasn't you! I found smurf juice on the garage floor under the engine bay, front right, not long ago.

 

My flat tire light comes on when it rains. Not every time it rains, but only when it rains.

 

I have many but mostly they are self inflicted

Like the big CLUNK heard when the ABS pump cycles and presses the pads into the rotors just after starting the car.

 

Nathan, maybe you should enter the car more gently :crazy:

 

That is too funny. On the '05's it's the passenger side. :mad2:

 

We must love our MINIs or be plain :crazy: to put up with all this ut:

KittyMini, how ya been :devil:

Mark

 

Shoot, compared to my '78 MG Midget this is nothing.

 

at least we could fix most "Lucas" gremlins with a hammer and sand paper :mad2:

 

My car acts remarkably normal, that or maybe I'm so used to the quirks it does have that I don't even notice them.
There is the occasional no start when I turn it on which then means I turn it back off and have to crank it a little longer than normal to get her going.
