Reached a milestone today (see picture)

 

Nice, I'm almost there myself.

Has anyone thought about starting a Week 38 mods thread?
I've done nothing major, but have done several small items.

 

.

 

Is that all you have to say for yourself?? Your brain must be scrambled from alllllll those drives in your GP!!!

 

Yep. I'm loopy from heavy lateral g loads!

 

If you ask me, I don't think GP really even has a MINI... I mean, we've seen no PROOF!!!

 

Yea.....wasnt he supposed to snap a pic of it on a sunny day??? I mean....I sold him his car....but noboday has SEEEEEEN his car.. POST PICS MARK!!!!

 

I will third this...... come on GP, lets see some GP pics, we have been waiting long enough, and the weather is/has been good enough for out door photos for a bit now!

Please!!!!

 

lol... I 4th the motion... nothing like a little taunting/peer pressure.

oh yeah, i'm about 200 miles to break in... i know, I'm slow.

 

We want GP pics now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come on MiniDreams, get out there and drive!!!

 

*crickets*


It's dead in here.... I'm bored. Sick at home :(

Just finished finals yesterday, and I'm finally off school for a while, and now I'm sick! boo. I think yesterday was the first day I didn't drive my MINI at all.

What is everyone else up to?

 

Ok, ok. GP pics are coming. I promise. Soon. Just you guys wait. You'll see.

 

Here is a pic for you, a giant snowman and my MINI

 

Goliath is in the body shop at my dealers for some paint work. It seems as though when they were prepping him to come home from the dealers, the protective tape pulled off some paint on the roof above windshield down to bare metal.

I took him there Tuesday and it will probably be a week fixing.

In the meantime I have a white S Convertible, pretty nice by I miss Goliath.

Thats the latest news from here.

Next.

 

Thursday and Friday, Bean and I did a 1,250 mile round trip from Fort Wayne to Baltimore (first serious road trip). I was presenting to a group of engineers on Thursday evening. The snow was terrible on a couple of highways. I'm going to post in the road trip forum with details (Bean would post, but his typing is terrible ).

 

what a great pic! lol...

not much new here to report. i'm trying to motor to reach 1250. it's taking forever since I work from home. tonight i go to the local MINI club holiday party, which is downtown, so I'll put a few extra miles on. hopefully tomorrow it will be warm enough to do a full detail using Prima EPIC, SLICK and CLARITY. It's been so cold here lately that Grover has been pinging with the temp. everytime I get in and way to cold to do a hand wash and detail.

 

okay... i just realized that if you push the sunroof button in the middle it auto closes almost all the way (to the sunroof popped up position).

d'oh!

yes, i've been sitting in parking lots holding the button to close it. yes, i've read some of the manual, but not ALL of the manual, apparently.

 

My MA went thru that about 4 times, evidently he has had new owners call and ask about it after purchase. I've had a few Homer moments myself, none I'm willing to share at the moment......

Second push closes completely, for those who are keeping up!

 

My last car was a Pontiac Grand Am. One of the things I didn't like about the sunroof in that car was that you have to hold the button the entire time while it closes. So, you would that that I'd be excited that they got it right with the MINI right? Wrong! As a creature of habit I find myself constantly holding the button! My fiancé' kindly reminds me that the MINI is all over it and to let go!

One of these days I'll remember for good!!!

 

Hello Week 38ers!
Finished my latest mod on Saturday, the Third Brake Light Pulsar from gominigo. Man is it cool!

 

cool... I heard from a fellow local MINI owner that these work well with tailgaters, and man are there plenty of them around here. It still feels to me like people are right on top of my boot, when in actuality, they probably aren't since the boot is so flat.

how hard was this to install? I really want the auto window up circuit, but know that the install is going to be too complicated for me. i'll have to head to an event someday and see if I can get it installed by the people that sell them. I'm about as mechanical as a board.

 

Hey everybody! That 3rd break light blinky thing looks cool, I've seen it!

My car gets to have it's own photo shoot on Friday! The guy that did my last press shots found out I have a mini and he emailed me saying he wants to shoot my car on Friday! Sweet!! Hopefully I can sneak in a few shots... I'll just happen to show up with cute makeups and hairs >:D

p.s. has anyone gotten a welcome kit yet?

 

About ten minutes on the Pulsar, installed the MCAW in about 20 - I semi-botched the job so I it took a little longer than it should have. I love being able to double tap and roll both windows up.

I have received two different kits and also the toggle panel labels.
How bout you?

 

No welcome kit here.
