Most liked posts in thread: What did you do with your MINI today?

Yesterday, my '03 R50 CVT just turned over 104 k. miles.

Today, my '06 R53 automatic just turned over 174 k miles.

On to more glorious miles!

 

Well here’s hoping they appreciate it as much as we do.

 

Lee you really should just pay the electric bill.

Did you guys lose power due to a storm or did a bunch of cooper thieves get in the substation?

 

Will it seems the fix must has been in at the car show. There were 2 cars in the new mini class that I would think have been a hard to beat, but I got 3 place and the other guy got nothing. It was fun anyway. Me and the wife enjoyed it.

 

But it sure put a crimp in your style.

 

Congratulations to you & your wife. My sweetie & I just crossed the 40 year mark.

 

We are coming up on 49 years in Sept.

 

The yellow car got first and the blue car got second. Hard to believe.

 

I’d have to say that from the photo they do not look anywhere near as nice as yours.

 

Didn’t even occur to me that the car show might be a popular vote.

 

Haven't done this yet, but it is TPMS sensor time for Skooby. At 15 years the old the sensor batteries are dying. Next week I'll have Discount Tire install 4 new ones. Yes I could find the dead one & replace just it. But sooner or later I'd be casing my tail with more dead sensors.

 

An electric or gasoline power washer ??

 

I had a gasoline powered one for a number of years but when time came to replace I also went with an electric model. It’s not quite as powerful as the gas one but oh so much quieter.

 

Anything special in the way of brake pads ??

 

Sounds like you picked a winner in the brake pad department.

 

Your request seem reasonable to me and good to hear everything is going well.

 

I can't help it I am anal about this car.

 

Understandable as you have put a lot of sweat equity and hard earned money into making it a great looking car.
