    Went to start up my MINI this morning and it did not start. The starter motor clicked, but didn't turn. Looks like the battery died overnight. In the last 16 years, I have replaced the battery twice. This one has taken some abuse as the alternator failed about 4 years ago and I ran the car on battery until the battery ran out. So it was a matter of time. Anybody recommend a battery other than a MINI battery from the dealer parts department?

    That is neat. When you get some time with it let us know how you like it. Is that AWD?

    Interesting that no one mentioned that you should add on space to your garage so you could protect your pride and joy. I mean, after all what are friends for if’n they can’t help you spend your hard earned money. :D

    Go buy a storage shed and put the bikes and crap in it so you can put your car inside.

    Yea we were looking at one the other day but it was like a one car garage. We were thinking I could put the motorcycles in it and I would have a small place to work on them then my wife could have the one car bay for her lawn stuff and storage. Clean out the other side of the garage so we could get two cars in there. I wish I could build a separate garage/work shop.

    That logic doesn’t apply to kidney stones.
    Ask me how I know.
