keep the jokes coming guys, they are entertaining!!

 

gem, is nugget planning on being at the Philli Mini event tomorrow? the car decoration, starbucks, ottos mini thing?

 

DChaps, yes, we are just going to Ottos for the party and see all the decorating of MINI's , it too long of a day for my 4 legged baby to last without us for the Starbuck and Longwood. Why are you coming along too?

 

yeah i think I may start at the starbucks and come along. I don't think I will be decorating anything, but i'm going to watch and photograph.

 

Dchaps, I sent you a PM.
Hope to see you there!!!
Al and Nugget are back together again!!!! she got all washed up yesterday afternoon for this!

 

just got back from my first MINI rally, it was a blast. I'll post some pictures later on.

 

Dchaps, so glad you could make it, if you liked this, you will love one of the longer rallies!!! the group is great, nice people.
great to hang out with a fellow 23er!!!
Oh and I received an extra key ring, it is an Otto's ring but i know you need one so if you are interested, pm me your address, i will mail it to you.

 

haha thanks, I got one also.

I'm going to be signing up for Philly Mini, I was impressed at how well organized the rally was. A lot of time obviously went into preparing the event, so I am going to throw my hat in with the crazy group. One question though, what was with St Nicky? is he a member or was that legit? any idea?

 

I think he was a "hired" santa. From the photos i saw on the site from last year he was the same. Not quite sure! interesting Santa though wasn't he!!!

I am so glad you are signing up!! yeah, more rallies, and every single one has been organized as this...

I don't want to talk you out of anything though, but also don't want you to be disappointed either, the year membership renews every March, so since this is December... your choice. If you do some more rallies from now till March you will would pay for your membership... just food for thought!

Oh glad you got home ok, on the other site,everyone is talking about all the accidents they came across on the way home. It took us much longer then usual going North, but finally made it will no issues....

 

I thought I would post a few pic of MINI Pooper's first snow.
They do grow up so fast!
5800 miles and doing great!

 

poor thing looks so cold!!

Nugget also had her first snow tonight, almost an inch on her, when i saw her, she just had that look in her headlight like "get me home and in the garage quick it's cold out here"!

They do grow up quick... hey has anyone here realized we have had our babies for almost 6 months already!!!! Mine will be 6 months old on the 30th of this month! wow, did that go fast?

 

I tell myself that he doesn't mind the cold since I don't have a garage.
The bigger problem is, with the cold weather, I can't wash him every three days!

 

i only saw one car off the road on the way home, and then evidence of idiots who slid off the road then drove off again, but it's not too bad down this end. Altoid has about 2 cm of snow, but that's about it.

 

What's all that white stuff???


gem, sorry, i'm all out of puns.

 

only 4 years and 6 months of payments remaining......

 

UGH thanks DChap for that reminder!

 

thats the same as 54 Months, or 216 weeks, or 1,512 days, or 36,288 hours, or 2,177,260 minutes.... but who is counting really

 

HALF EMPTY= 54 Months, or 216 weeks, or 1,512 days, or 36,288 hours, or 2,177,260 minutes = PAYMENTS...
HALF FULL= 54 Months, or 216 weeks, or 1,512 days, or 36,288 hours, or 2,177,260 minutes = QUALITY, FUN DRIVING TIME

 

just got inside from the bitter cold after installing my intake.... ooooo sounds lovely. I'll do some recording this weekend. The install was a bit rough, it is definitely a tight fit, but with a bit of pushing and tugging my younger bro and I got it installed.

 

did you reset your ecu?
mine ran like crap until i did.

 

just got my snow shoes on.

got some dunlop sp winter sport 3d's and SCC super z6 snow cables.

I think the super z6 are the only cables out there that will fit the mini... they were the only ones I could find.

 

nope, I took it for a bit of a spin and nothing seamed wrong. It sounds good, feels good, a touch more zippy, and i didn't have any error codes flash.

but just in case, how do you reset the ecu?

 

additional info.....

my poor Altoid is headed to the shop next monday to have some cosmetic surgery done. The bonnet has somehow come out of alignment and no longer lines up with the bumper or the door. It operates fine, no noises, or catching, but it just looks bad. My drivers door window no longer dips when the door opens, so that is getting looked at... on top of all that, the Bluetooth/USB kit is getting replaced because of a static sound.

what ever am I going to do.

 

oh and I just noticed, Gem who do you think you are trying to take over my spot????

I have had the most posts in here since the beginning, and you are now only 14 or so behind me..... the top spot is mine sister.

 

Hahaha, sorry Dchap -you are slacking!!!
You had better start chatting more, the strong with push right past you!!!

Or maybe because i've been unemployed i have had more time to chat.. so with that said...
I'm going on my second interview tomorrow morning.... wish me luck!!! Hopefully be working full time again come Monday!!!!
