What is the Galactic Cruiser?

 

Wow, it really is!

 

What's that phone mount on the left side? Did you add an arm to the CS mount?

 

Did you get a ticket in PA ?

 

Yep.
Near Gettysburg

 

LXM consumes new MINI drivers since it's like the first thing that pops up when they're searching for MINI facebook pages. It's cool and fun in theory and there's others like it, I myself enjoy getting together with the local MINI's and Coffee group for some runs, but the founder of LXM is the main reason for a lot of people boycotting the group/brand. He's a liar and a thief, and he (and his minions) also makes fake fb profiles and joins other pages to infiltrate MINI groups to push his brand and/or see what people are saying about him and LXM. There's more to the Braham controversy but that's my take on the situation. I've since left all MINI groups on fb except for the local MINI's and Coffee, they's good people.

 

Got tired of the armrest cover sliding back all the time, so took it off and applied some Gorilla Super Glue Gel
to the bumps near the front of the lower track, one drop at a time to build it up a little. Had to take it off so that
I could let it lie on its side so the glue would set without running the wrong way.

Now it closed MUCH more securely. Hope it lasts. If not, will try a different glue next time.

Also booked service for yearly inspection, and while it's in there will have them work on the sunroof (doesn't
always close easily), install rear HSport Comp bar, and Powerflex front control arm bushings (before the
almost 10 year old oem ones bite the dust).

Put rear mud flaps on last week. Ordered front mud flaps. MINIMania says they'll fit a JCW Clubman
although other sources say not. We'll see.

 

Me too, but my wife insists on putting wrappers and other small trash in it.

 

Nope, is not going to fit and look anywhere near acceptable.
I even asked them on the order comments to double check fitment with my model before completing the order.
I read that someone reshaped them with a custom made form and a heat gun, but it will still be wonky on the bottom even with that.
Plus, MM is closed all day today for administrative meetings.
Will talk to them tomorrow and get a RA#.

Anyone know of a decent set of front mud flaps for R55, etc. with JCW trim?

 

ebay might be your only solution.
