Newbie, perusing the forum after leaving a greeting at the Starting Line when I came across this thread. Installed snow tires today as the temperature was dropping and snow accumulating on the passes. Afterward, I went for a drive to reset the TPMS. I had also planned to install the adapters for the Spikes Spider traction devices, but ended up ordering some replacement parts instead; a job for next time.
^^^^ Welcome to M/A the FUN Mini site. Yesterday I took my MINI out burned off soon fuel and METH and decided to pick up some oil filters at the local dealership and bumped into a few old friends. One person pulled up to the dealership and asked me if my car was a new 2014 :lol: I said no it's an 8 year old 2005.
^^^ I'll bet you choked first before you could tell him about all the benefits of the R56 over your 8 year old R53....:lol::lol::lol:
Filled the gas tank that was a little too low for comfort in the event this winter storm tomorrow turns into something.
Nada, nothing, both MINIs are in the garage in Colorado. Cold in Virginia today, looking like a cool week all week. Must get home to drive either MINI, soon! Don
Looked at my MINI all warm and clean in the garage. No need to drive it with crappie weather coming this week and going to Atlanta next week.
Snowtires went on. I had to buy new ones as my old snowtires were worn pretty low. Also, they've had 7 winters so it was time. The tire shop I usually go to gave me a pretty good deal on them. Especially for Canada.
Aside from some maintenance stuff, the MINI got his new header installed yesterday (FINALLY), along with the aux input so I can have a bluetooth set up with the stock head unit He sounds gooooooooooooood :devil:
After 11 days away, washed the Countryman and Hydro'd the hell out of it for this weeks snow. Yesterday drove Scooter, he has been feeling a bit neglected. Better now!
I did nothing with my MINI today because I am stuck in rainy Atlanta for the week while my clean MINI sits in a warm garage at home.
Cleared out a more permanent spot down at the shop to work on the MINI... Added high output lighting yesterday.... There is a pressurized air line available for air tools.... Need to add a curtain wall to keep shop contaminants off the MINI... Need to find some artwork for the wall...
