Took Yuko in for 1 year oil change and to get the rattles fixed.

One rattle fixed.
2nd rattle needs an ENTIRE steering column, which needs to be ordered from corp or something.


AND as a kicker... they screwed up my oil change and I left a 10 mile long trail of oil in my wake. I was wondering why the BMW behind me kept hitting his wipers.

*sigh* looks like i'll have to flat bed her to the dealer tomorrow morning.

sorry to see the MINI gone, but that's not a bad replacement.

A little more than a year later.

Haven't posted here in quite a while, but we have been busy with Penfold none the less. Here is what he is looking like these days.

Hope everyone is out motoring on this long weekend.

Thanks, guys.

Adam, I soon will have a photo of it in front of Autzen to illustrate what the Bump wheel looks like. I did buy them from you. Unless you got one already.

HI GANG!

I am so sorry to have been offline for so long. Matt is on cruise with the US Navy around South America, I'm here in San Diego CA.

Still looking for work, still loving Mystique! She got a tiny scratch on her, 3 places, and one is "deeper" into the quarter panel in transport with US Navy from Naples...dealing with that right now...

How is everyone?

REALLY active with WCM, west coast minis, the enthusiast club here in Southern San Diego region.

Will post photos soon. We went to AMVIV 6, back in Vegas.

Loving Life, Missing my Man, he'll be back in late October.
Take care, promise to be poking around more often again.

Keep in touch
Rebecca and Matt

Orange spedo change

IF YOU SUCCESSFULLY DO THAT, please let us know.
Matt is simply dying to transform everything orange in the car to blue...

i know it can be done, but, as I don't have my mini anymore, I probably won't figure it out...
