What did you do with your MINI today?

A new Shelby GT 500 might be fast enough to keep you interested. :ihih:

Keep the MINI if you can.

 

Drove CHKMINI III home from Dreyer Reinbold in Indy thanks to Mini Fireman. A great buying experience! !!!

 

Mark you are killing me...I want pictures.

 

I drove my MINI to work in the ice & snow. (cough KittyMini cough) Suck it up, your can't stay clean forever. :wink:

DCS is always off, because I know how to drive my car in all weather. :lol:

 

:cornut: Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Boss Mustang Laguna Seca in Ford Racing Orange(HOOK'EM HORNS)

Brings a tear to my eye...love when a story has a happy ending.

 

+ 1 I hates Nannies.... rrr:

 

But then he will only be able to drive in straight lines!

 

:cornut: Yeah but he could make the car pay for itself rapidly by putting a large 'Moon Tank' in the trunk to haul 100s of gallons of 'Shine.'(Big Mustangs are nice for that):lol::lol::lol:

:devil:" and it was Thunder Thunder down on Thunder Road........................!":ihih::lol::lol::lol:

Sounds good but it would have to be Black and Red with grey interior trim. I'm a two time UNLV graduate. (BS Business Admin - Marketing, and my MBA).

Yeah... only not so much. See this list just posted today on Jalopnik: Ten Automotive Stereotypes That Need To Die

I am looking into SPEC to see if they make a SMF. I do love my MINI. I have had mor fun with it in stock form than I have with any other car I've owned. I'm terribly frustrated that the R56s are plauged by gremlins. I know I'm in the minority but I dont like the way the R53s feel in comparison so I don't see that as an option.

Back on topic though: I swapped out the worn front brake sensor I have been ignoring for a month and then crossed 57,500 miles.

 

I took my brake sensors & soldered the ends together. I'll never be bothered with the brake pad nanny again!

A Mustang would be a hoot, but the MINI is sooo much fun & is easy on gas too, now that is pretty cool.

 

I put them in place then hook them out of the way. last time I was in for service the tech was "helpful" and plugged it in to the pad. So, it wore down. Grabbed a new one and wired it out of the way. So, hopefully I won't have to worry about it again.

 

Installed(DIY) an Alta 22mm rear swaybar. Regret that I didn't do this "best bang for the buck" mod day one. The handling now is incomparable to the pre swaybar era.

 

Car wouldn't turn over this morning, it's been starting slow all week, so I ordered an Optima Red Top battery. No driving the MINI for 5-7 business days. =(

 

Removed the stripes, IMA NAKED!!!:thumbup:

 

I had mine tied out of the way too. My helpful MINI tech routed the sensor wire so it would get sawed in half after I got out of warranty. Rather than buy a new one I soldered the remnants together. Do you suppose the techs are taught how to screw up tied off sensors in tech school? Hmmm....

 

I drove it Dang I love the sound it makes! :cornut: The wrapping of the header put over the top!
