    Yeah, It's pretty snazzy. It's nice how they have a picture of the part and will always list the bolt information (size and threads and strength rating) next to the picture and of course they also give the torque information.

    Yep, I shipped out several on Friday, It's nice to finally have the Bentley manual for the R56 available. I was very happy to find the wiring diagrams in it just like the R53 ones.

    Just checked my order status on Amazon. It was billed at $101.00 (with tax and shipping) when I pre-ordered, but now I'm only being billed $88.00 and will get it 8/16/11. :Thumbsup:

    Yep, but since there are so few problems with the justa, our manual is not as thick as yours. :D

    I loved my "Justa".
    If I knew then what I know now, I would have kept Nugget and sent him to Jan for a stroker motor and new tranny... talk about a sleeper ;)

    But I love Artemis- the more he becomes "me-ified" the more I like him.

    But you only listen to it during the summer. Foggie is two years ten months old and will turn 50K in another 100 miles. See, I do drive my MINI. :lol:

    Well that is true.... So, you need the repair manual more than me (don't forget that's only, what.... two oil changes since the warranty ran out)? :eek6::eek6::eek6:.....:D

    MINI would rather you did not change oil. They would rather you buy a new MINI when your motor in yours becomes FUBAR..... :cryin:
