Hi all! After years of drooling I finally got off my butt and got a MINI near the end of February. It's a 2008 S hardtop, Chili Red, Black roof, bonnet stripes and more checkers than the purina factory. Checkered mirrors inside and out, checkered roof, and checkered door handles. When I saw it, I had to have it. On the way home from the dealer, I got rear-ended by a Yukon XL during rush-hour stop and start traffic. I didn't even have 10 of my own miles in it. Luckily insurance took care of it and she looks beautiful again. it was only cosmetic damage. The Yukon actually looked worse. Then, about a month later I noticed a rattle from under the hood, did some research and found out that I had the timing chain issue. Luckily she was still under warranty, and a quick trip to the dealer got that taken care of quickly and professionally. So for only having her a couple of months, I've already got stories. But since they all have happy endings, I'm not complaining. So anyway, Hello!
Welcome to M/A! Congrats on the MINI and for having gotten everything straightened out. When you get a chance how bout some pictures of your gem?
Hey there and welcome. Sooo... The Bulldog in the MINI took a bite out of that Yukon.:arf: Glad everything worked out..
Got some pics up in my Garage, mote to come later. The metalwork on the inside is checkered too I'm wondering if the MINI WRC team is going to be selling their flying checkers side decal any time soon....
