    Looks great!

    Do we need the ubiquitous "Show off you Whalen Knob" thread?

    Fixed my exhaust rattle that I've had since I bought my car last year. Also fixed my GPS mount, and my shift boot. Feeling pretty good, now I need to take the Mini for a spin to celebrate. :)

    Dropped it off at the dealership because of the SEL that came on over the weekend. They had to order a part, so I have an automatic Justa. It is Highclass Grey with all of the MINI Yours Soda options, including the white leather seats with the funky patterns on the side.

    Sounds a bit odd to me. Maybe they will sell that one to some fashionesta or sumpthin.... What part did they have to order?

    M.A.D. said she would definitely take this car, which is proof enough that it is not my style ;)

    They had to order some type of sensor...I really just heard "We'll need to keep your car overnight, so you will need to keep the MINI Pimp mobile for another day". I think it was the MAF. They said that the code that came up was related to it and they figured it would happen again, so they might as well replace it now.

    Had a detail guy come by and give Montag the once-over for Spring. Looks pretty nice and even nicer to have someone do it for me.

    The official MINI tech opinion is no bad noises going on. Gene thinks I might be hearing the AC compressor turn from low to high.

    :cornut: Mini of Dallas fixed Margi's turbo/water pump glitch today. I saw Gene also, it's always good to see Gene. He was opining that JCW add on to MCS might be a better deal than a factory JCW if one is only interested in engine power and not all the other JCW bling. I told him what I had in mind and he said that the factory JCW Clubman was probably right for me. I'll ponder that one until Sep12 when(hopefully) the 2013 new JCW engine becomes available on the Clubman.:Thumbsup:
