    No it means people wish the new MINI looked more like the great R53 silly. :)

    :cornut: Put a nice new set of gloves on MINI Margi. They are black and white checkerboard door handle covers:drool from our own 'Outmotoring'. Increased HP/torque 3/5 (tee hee). I also put my Life Member NRA badge on her. 1 more badge(!), oh no, they'll kick me out of the trailer park.(I really don't live in a trailer park) Then we went for a therapeutic drive on the TX country roads with Starbucks, cigars, and music. Great Day!:Thumbsup:

    I drove back from Asheville, NC today. Nice weather, windows open and light traffic. Since monday I put around a thousand miles on the Mini, and enjoyed every minute of it. That was the high point of my week. Saw probably a half dozen Minis all week, but waved at them all. Hope y'all had a good week too.

    The good thing about a loud exhaust is you can't hear the screams coming from the right seat!

    Had fun!

    Does "hauling ass" count as doing something? I ripped off a couple of good 0-80 runs, then cranked a 35 mph turn at about 75. I think I felt the stability control kick in for the first time. She felt a bit "wiggly" as I cranked that turn. Like she was in "save myself" mode. :D

    You are lucky you have those subs back there. Otherwise there'd have been more shopping. :wink:

    Yesterday, my MINI decided I needed to work on my tan a little in Bryantown, MD. So, it shredded the serpentine belt and made me wait for a tow where there were no shade trees.

    Thankfully, the tensioner tool is tucked in the trunk at all times... just in case. Got her back up and running today.
