    Take the MINI oil & dump it in the truck. I'm sure it's good enough. ;)

    Why kill the brand? Just do a redesign. The BMW faithful pitched a fit over the Bangel Butt. BMW finally listened and starting making nice cars agin. All they have to do is make one car true to mini heritage. Then make all the other modules you want.

    Well it is disappointing, I believe there is still a market here if done correctly.

    I believe BMW originally bought Mini for a quick way to comply with the CAFE standards. Perhaps now that they share engines with BMW they don't need Mini any more.

    I have a 2012 R58 JCW N14 (Helmut clone) with a RMW tune done at the Dragon by Jan. I'm still running the stock JCW plugs in it. Found out that I
    need to go with a colder plug, Gen 2 experts, what plug should I get to replace the stock ones? Thanks.

    I don’t remember what plugs I have in the Helmet, or if they are the correct ones. I will pull one when get home and let you know.
    You need to order a cat-less down pipe! Boy howdy!!! Did that make a difference! It’s very easy to put on and I did an article on how to keep it from throwing a code. I don’t have to go through inspection but if you do it’s worth swapping back for the inspection.

    I agree with you MINIDave, I always get it backwards.

    I am just a detailer.

    I too the Helmet out for a ride today. It was nice to drive it after driving the truck for over a month.

    We've recently been offered a crazy deal (belongs to a friend) on a 2015 Vengeance 25v toy hauler/camper. We don't need a toy hauler, but hopefully the MINI will fit... :D Have been in the market for an RV trailer for a couple of years now. Do any of yall RV camp? We're tired of dealing with a tent and want to camp year-round. How messy is it to drain all the wastewater and do most RV campgrounds have water hookups at the dump spots? Or do you do the tank rinse part at home? Do you treat the RV toilet like a bus toilet (no #2)?

    We've had an F150 Ecoboost for a few years now and that thing has plenty of power, she's rated up to 7600 lbs. I've pulled 6500+ lbs with it no sweat up to north GA. Thanks for the gray water AFTER black water tip, I was wondering about rinsing that hose out... Now to figure out where to store that thing after dumping... When you'd dump at one of those dump spots at the campground after camping, do they normally have a fresh water hookup?
