So the other day I put on a leather wrap around my steering wheel. Took me about 1 1/2 hours to sew it in. It was only about 35 degrees out, maybe, so my fingers were a little numb when done. It came out pretty good, the sewing was as tight as I could get it without breaking the line on the wrap. Only around the three points of the steering wheel where I had some issues.

 

This is my newly acquired R60 with over160k's +

Just got Tinted

New Batt. being installed

First night Home
miles.....,

 

161Kssssssssssss

 

BONUS!
That odometer reads only 63k
They do not roll over at 100k ;-)

 

Woo hoo! It’ll be nice if I can get this car to make 100K miles. It does have a lot of flavor underneath.

 

With this amount of miles I'm shopping for an extended warranty company that DOES NOT!!! want to charge me $150.00 Plus per Month LoL!!!

 

Got this car 2.5 years ago stock. Now running Mario stage 2 tune, Michelin PS4S, blacked out. Lots left to do though 😜

 

Anyone know where I can get this mesh under the grill? Love how you can see the intercooler through it and would love to do this to my R60

 

New setup

 

Hello all!

I just purchased a 2015 Mini Cooper Countryman S ALL4. I hope I said that correctly. lol This Mini is a surprise present for our daughter for her sixteenth birthday this coming May. I have never ever stepped foot in nor have I driven a Mini until this past Tuesday. I test-drove in order; 2015 Countryman S, 2015 Cooper S Hardtop 4 Door, 2015 Countryman, 2015 Hardtop 4 Door Base, and a 2015 Countryman S ALL4. I must say these little cars are fun to drive. haha

I'm here for the fun, the questions, the issues, the modifications, etc...Is there anything I need to do right now with this Coop?

 

Hey guys, figured Id share my Countryman with you...really surprised I havent yet. I got it as a "family car" as my other vehicles dont have enough space and 2 doors arent fun going store to store with a new baby. Ive wanted a Golf R forever, but I love my other Mini and I thought a Countryman S All4 hit the right spot - I wanted a JCW, but it wasnt in the cards at that moment. I am going for the OEM+ look, but I do plan on getting a hybrid turbo, RPMPower tune, OS Giken GT Clutch/Flywheel in the future for more pep. Right now I have some basic things done which have made it a bit more fun to drive.

How it stands right now:

 

Wanted to post a pic of a totaled 2016 Countryman S All4. Deer stepped in front of my vehicle while we were going 60 mph. Deer was swept off its feet and fell into the engine compartment, then rolled off to the left and hopped away. Because the bumper wasn't impacted there were no airbags deployed. All we felt was a bump and a stop, not hard at all, no injuries. Found out later that Minis are created with front and rear crumple zones for head-on/rear impacts like this - basically serves like a shock absorber to prevent injury to the occupants, but it ensures your Mini will suffer a lot of damage. RIP Mini, you served us well.
