^looks like it'll be easier to do a joey mod now.


good to hear she's doing alright, hopefully the mini will be okay. Deer can be quite an issue. I assume the deer didn't fair to well?

Not at all... I drove her to work today (in a borrowed car because her Jeep was in the shop already) and saw the deer. He's quite dead. I lost my club grille badge in the process too.

Wow that deer did a good job. When I hit the deer in January in my wife's car I wasn't sure if it was dead. Unfortunately the guy behind me ran it over and then I knew for sure it was dead. Otherwise it would've been a reverse/forward/reverse/forward process until it was dead.

Only benefit was a $50 comprehensive deductible and new parts/paintjob, alignment etc.

Glad your wife is ok - good thing it was passenger side........did the airbag deploy?

Wow this brings back memories.. but look at it this way.. At least those pesky rock chips will be fixed My car looked brand new after it was fixed and they did a stellar job.. My grand total was about $9,000!
Very glad everyone is ok.

Here is a couple of more shots of my '09 MCa PW/PW. I can't believe how good the gas mileage is hauling a big kayak! 35mpg on level road at 60mph.

Sketch what size wipers did you go with? Do these Bosch blades work ok with the curvature of the window? On my old man's 325xi they don't hug the windshield very well.

I already posted this over in the Lightning Blue thread, but I will post it again here.

I just picked up this Lightning Blue MCS this past Sunday. The photo was taken before they put on the black bonnet stripes.

Yeah they fit the mini's curved windshield really well. I believe I got 18s for the left and 19s for the right. Go into any autozone and they can get you the correct size :tu:
