Non-MINI content
Took a ride in Southern Ohio last Friday. The day of 1,000 detours. We managed to stay on the high ground, but it wan't easy.

It looks like I can get away with a 215/45-18 as it looks like the 205/40-18 will produce about the same results. I guess we'll have
to try the 215 and see. -

Bill & I stayed on high ground, didn't want to be Das Boot. It was a fun day of detours & driving on roads I hadn't used before.

As a follow up to the new dipstick issue a few days ago, I pulled out the "new" $5 amazon ("OEM from China") dipstick to check my oil yesterday and it broke at exactly the same spot as the original one. A $5 lesson learned.

I sold it. Wife and I are going to see how it works with just one car. If not well, I think I will give some consideration to a TT.

I am testing a new window glass coating that should blow away RainX and AquaPel. I put it on today and we will see how well it works at the Dragon in a month and all summer long with regular car washes.
Expensive? Yes $75.00 for only 20 cc . I did all the external windows, mirrors and sunroof glass on my MINI (1) time and the bottle was about empty.
Lets see how good it is and if it last. :ihih: The bottle below may look like a lot but it is not and is only 1/4 of the way full = 20 cc.
Glass Coating is a must if you live in an area with frequent snow fall. Rain, sleet, ice and snow will not stick to treated exterior glass surfaces, providing you with a clearer view of the road ahead.
Optimum Opti-Glass Coating is the long awaited glass and windshield coating from Optimum Polymer Technologies, one of the leading innovators in surface care protection products. Optimum Opti-Glass Coating is a resin-based glass coating that forms a durable layer of protection against environmental contaminants, leaving your windshield and exterior glass clean and protected.
Directions:
1.Only apply when the temperature is between 60°-90° F (15°-30°C). Do not apply in direct sunlight.
2.Thoroughly clean surface and use Optimum Opti-Eraser to remove bonded contaminants. Polish glass if scratches are present.
3.Before applying, wipe glass down with a 15% solution of isopropyl alcohol.
4.Spray Opti-Glass directly onto foam applicator pad and apply in an overlapping, circular motion.
5.Allow Opti-Glass to cure for 2 minutes and remove excess with a clean, dry microfiber towel. -

Mine is at the dealership service department again. This time I have a 4 door S loaner. Despite having a face only a mother could love and an automatic transmission, it isn't awful like the justa F56 I had a while back. I sure hope they can get my car straightened out. My R50 was relatively trouble free during the time I had it. My R56 JCW has already been back to the dealership service department twice. I'm going on 2 weeks of ownership. Hopefully it's not a sign of things to come.

Late posting, but on Saturday I replaced the e-brake cables on the R53. Nice to have that done even though the driver side was a pain!
Also got the winter wheel/tire sets off and the summer sets on for the R53, the R60 and the Mazdaspeed6. The R60 got a bath too. Big day. -

I would definitely make my own dipstick before I'd spend $400 for one or even $75. Heck, it's not like it's a complicated thing.

You'd have to be quite a dipstick yourself to drop $400 on a dipstick. Thing better change the oil for you too.
