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

I contemplated, in greater depth, parting company with my beloved R53. Help, someone confirm or intervene!

 

Would it be for Zillon's GP2? Because that car is remarkably kept...

 

Yep. I'm teetering and need to look at some $ figures before I commit. I'm paying for a wedding in March...

 

pulled the stock s spoiler off.

 

I wish I could give you an opinion, but the only MINI I have ever driven is my 2005 R52 S.

 

Not bad at all considering everything was done on my phone! [emoji12]

 

I see a lot of rust sculpture parts right there...

 

^^^ We -B- 4 Weelin in the ShortNorth...


Ohhhhh..... I foresee another set of Texas plates will make an appearance in the S/N... In about two weeks...

 

Well.... It turns out Bitsy Mae has a lil more of an issue than warn out bushings.

 

The "Want" on the right side of the brain over powered the "Don't" on the left side....:arf:

 

Well, if you're gonna own one, it's good to have a shop that knows you and what goes wrong with them.

It does have a V-8, one of the weakest V-8's since the early 80's.....

Is it a Disco or an LR2 or 3? In 2001 I think it was a Disco still....

I worked for a Range Rover dealer, BTDT. More expensive to keep on the road than Jags!

Fun to drive tho, kinda.....

 

Sleek Motoring does a lot of work on those Discovery's... Always chewing up heads... [emoji20]

 

I never understood why the engines were unreliable, they were understressed with only about 185 hp, although the vehicle is heavy......they get terrible mileage too IIRC, about 12 in town.....even worse if you're offroading or tearing up heavy snow.

 

Discovery II

 

With a 7000lb towing capacity who knows. Maybe I'll trailer the MINI to MOTD. Didn't someone local just pick up a trailer..hehe.

 

I have no room to talk, I own one of Jalopnik's "Worst cars to own", an Audi Allroad with the twin turbo V-6, Tiptronic transmission and air suspension.

It also gets about 14 mpg in town.....

But (touch wood) I haven't had a lick of trouble with it.

 

Sounds like a perfect excuse for a HONDA swap... [emoji12]

 

It needs a whole Mini transplant first....:blush2:

It is a 998 rustbucket that needs everything......

 

McMaster-Carr has the tap if you can't find one locally...

 

Is it the red-ish one you posted pictures of? Pretty sure a Honda swap would knock the rust right off of that one... [emoji12]
