    Now, it's on to fixing my wife's S...what a mess...MAG wanted $7k! It has about EVERYTHING going wrong with it, so I'm taking it in for a second opinion. This crapola with them just CANNOT go on.

    Have your guy look at it Jeff. Pick what jobs are a must do & have them done. I'm sure most of those quotes were somewhat bogus let's generate money for the dealer thing$.

    It seems like every time I fix a leak another one springs up!

    Ummm.........I think Dave has a Coke problem.

    Intervention needed?

    I am thinking a nice set of shelves would solve that problem........

    "Deluded"..... is that when the MINI has finally polished off your stash of 'Ludes from your younger, wreckless, party days?!

    Try diluted next time, you ogre.

    I have done nothing to my MINI's today, still on the road. The parts I needed for the R53 have arrived. I know because I my ring camera alerted me when the UPS guy showed up. I looked at the camera today and there still sitting there after two days, need to let the wife know there out there. Thanks Outmotoring! The R58 is still sitting in the parking lot at your under the approach end of 18 Left getting jet exhaust spewed all over it.

    That is not the Coke I had in the 80’s. That’s my wife’s Liquid coke.

    The dirt on my car is because it has been sitting in my garage while I have my front bumper our being repainted.

    All you had to do was to mention doughnuts and Crashton awoke from his nap in a flash!

    Where do you find aero bumpers? Didn't you just put that one on after the Dragon before last?
