I've got 3630 miles on my MINI. The oil service indicator estimates 6425 miles to go until the official oil change.

However, I will do my next oil change within the next 500 miles.

 

anyone doing the Mini rally in september? im doing the last leg from Jersey City to Connecticut. Mini sent me a bunch of goodies for signing up!

 

I know there are a few of us from NJ!!! Anyone besides me doing the last leg in the Mini Takes The States rally?

 

We'll be doing the DC - Jersey City leg. Not sure if TheRoyalWe is or not but several PhillyMINI members will be doing that leg.

 

I'd love to, but I have pressing engagements :(

 

well... I may be doing the phila to jersey city run

I really want to make it, but that day is my dad's birthday. hopefully I can pull it off for that morning!

oh.. and monday Blue goes in for his first checkup.

that and it's almost time for another week 45 group to come around... wonder if one has ever wrapped completely yet?

 

I wish that we could re-name this group.

MIB now has over 14,000. I think I have the lead on mileage.

Also I have noticed that the airbag stickers have blistered like a second degree burn. My "Warning to Female passengers" decal is still doing fine. Anyone else have the blistering airbag stickers on the sunvisors?

 

I wonder if an Admin could do it. I'll send a PM to an admin see. What should we name it? How about "Week 45-2005 Community"?

Interesting, I have as well. I thought it was the coverup stickers I put over the airbag stickers that were bubbling.

 

HEY! Who changed the thread title? I don't like it. It looks like we have model year 2005 MINIs rather than 2006. (And 2005 sounds really old.) Besides, there won't be a week 45 production week this year in the U.S.

The title of the thread should be "MY 2006 - Production Week 45 Support Group".

update 8/24: I have emailed the administrator.
update 8/25: The "MY 2006" thread title is now in effect.

 

The problem is that our cars were built in Calendar year 2005 as model year 2006. Everyone took delivery before 2006.

I edited my original post that started the topic so say Calendar year 2005 Model year 2006 week 45 club. Technically the Calendar year week 45 will soon be ordering their cars.

 

OK... I'm rarring (sp?) to go on the Jersey City - CT run. I've got the wife excited about it too!!! I've got my Mini Takes The States decal ready to be applied (not putting it on until the day of)! I've still got to buy the tickets for the Vintage races at Limerock. No one else doing this leg??? I'm only at 4500+ miles... gotta be the lowest... damn my 10 minute commute!

 

We'll be motoring up with the phillyMINI group. Last i heard i thought theRoyalWe was planning on going but i don't know if that has changed. If you don't start putting some miles on i'm going to be at triple your mileage - i'm right around 11000 now.

 

I'll be showing up at Jersey City sunday morning. I won't be taking any of the trip with everyone though... At least I'll catch a portion of it!

 

I was registered for the Indy to West Virginia leg. GREAT twisties on the Ohio River! But then the job change thingy...

 

Hey... anyone know anything about these MTTS grille badge i keep seeing in posts?

 

Nope.

I'm at 4300 - just 10,000 miles behind DrDiff.

 

See my MTTS pictures in my post in the National Events section

 

Where are the photos of your drive from Jersey City to Lime Rock? And have you passed the 5000 mile mark?

 

they got moved into the MTTS clubs area.... i'm almost 6K i think

 

I've got 4588 miles on my MINI - probably 20,000 miles behind DrDiff..

The oil service indicator estimates 5500 miles to go until the official oil change.

 

MIB has 10,000 miles to Inspection 1. Just a few ticks under 19,000 miles. Things should start slowing down as we move out of MrsDiff parents' basement and into an appartment in Elkhart in two weeks.

 

The 5000 mile mark has been crossed.

 

MIB has hust over 19,000 miles when I was let go by my employer Friday due to. To make it worse MrsDiff informed me that she was asking for a divorce.

I gave her MIB as it still has factory warrenty with road side assistance. The 1993 minivan has failed her twice on the highway. I would rather her have the better car.

This is my final MINI IN BLACK up date.

 

Dude! That is all dreadful news. My condolences on the job, the wife and most of all the car.

Thanks for all of the enthusiasm you have shown on this thread since you started it over a year ago. We'll miss you as we continue the support group for week 45 production year 2006.

Hope at some time in the future you'll be a MINI owner once more with MIB II.

 

sad new to see my MINI's twin leaving. good luck with everything and we hope to hear from you again in the future.
