I picked up a nail yesterday on the original runflats in front, and went in for a repair ...
the tech said "you're down to 3/32 on your fronts -- they're DONE."
Don't feel bad Dan, mine are almost shot too. Probably get some new ones next week. Got over 30K on NITTO GENs, which were only 20K tires. I like them but they are not for cold or really wet driving. I almost came back thru Chicago. I haven't been thru there since the 80's. I guess alot has changed, would love to go to the BLUES Festival one more time in my lifetime. Good luck on the new rubber. Jim great videos, and Doug great photos also all the others that posted. I took over 100 photos, but have no clue how to post them. Hope to see you all in Copper the other hills!

Since I used to work for Firestone Racing Division, you won't believe my tyre choice, I run General Exclaim UHP 215/40ZR/17, they are really great in the rain and dry, and they are very inexpensive too!
Luke, was great to see you and look forward to motoring with you again at MITM.

One day after stopping at Carhenge, we made the front page of the local paper, Times-Herald, in Alliance, Nebraska (click PDF below). The caption reads, "MINI Cooper enthusiasts from Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri, Kansas, Arizona and North Carolina met at Carhenge yesterday afternoon on their way to Mount Rushmore. The group arranged the 18 MINIs in front of Carhenge for a unique photo opportunity."

Was there a "purplish" looking classic Mini that attended this event? I saw him driving in Rapid as we were heading to Mt. Rushmore lol. I live in Gillette Wyoming and am a Classic owner!! Thought I'd say hi!
Will you be coming down to MITM4 www.MINIsintheMountains.com this summer? We'd love to have you here...for our Car Show which includes both classic and Neo Minis and MINIs....

Thanks Mark. I managed to erase the video I shot of the two of you going up Spearfish Canyon. I still have the rear video but the front cam was great because you could hear my blood starting to boil because of the remote controlled granny car. So wish I could have caught us all going by that SUV also.
