    So I woke up this morning, walked into my garage, and Panda has transformed!! Not sure if the noises I heard was my MINI going threw growing pains, or puberty, but something very interesting came out of the transformation.

    A very nice non-MINI Jason.:Thumbsup: I'm sure you'll enjoy it very much. Best buy a set of snow tires for that RWD toy. Don't want to have to give you body shop recommendations. :wink:

    It's kind of hard to hear but could be hydraulic lifters. When it's cold it takes a while for them to work at max capacity.

    Haha.....not really. The latest turn of events and attitudes is amazing to me. Kittens and rainbows....I don't think so.

    It's inevitable that Panda will be moving out of MINI and follow the rest of the bears. Thou a BRZ is a nice way to go. I'm just sayin...:rolleyes:

    Does it only happen when it is cold outside or when the engine is cold? Not that knowing that info will really mean anything to me, but may help others identify potential causes. Might want to give Best a call to see if they have time to look at it.

    It's not like he said friends don't let friends drive MINIs! He just beat Dave.O to the punchline of the longest running joke on M/A. You need to take your tinfoil hat off, not every comment is a conspiracy to bring down MoM.

    now back to pandas puking up rainbows after eating kittens....
