Most mod-friendly Chicago dealer...

I bought and have my MINI serviced at Patrick. My car has quite a few mods done to it - including a roll bar - and I've never once had a problem there with my upgrades. I reccommend them. I did have a service advisor once ask me after seeing the roll bar "so what exactly do you DO with that car anyway?" I just responded "I just drive it on Sundays," with a big grin.

Adam took care of me today for the emissions and rear latch fix.
He's a great guy and good service. my car's running great so far.
Adam was enthusiastic about my mods...very cool.
And ofcourse, Chuck babysat me while I waited. I also test drove
a CVT. Those CVT's are pretty cool...feels like a slippin' clutch
burning effect but has decent pickup. Loved the HK stereo...wow!
completely different from my clock-radio sounding MCS.

Yeah Adam rocks - I was there yesterday too but didn't see your car.
I had a CVT loaner and hated it with a passion - the rubber banding was extremely annoying and the on-off throttle transitions are jerky as hell. The CVT in my mom's A4 cabrio is a technological marvel by comparison, with prefectly smooth shifts and well chosen ratios.
Happy to have a loaner though! :smile:

mark- wat time were you there? I had a 9am appointment and was
there for exactly an hour.
The CVT drives well in D mode, i think, and gets pretty rough when you
enter Manual mode...maybe I just don't know how to shift.. wat I didn't
like about that shifter is that when you pull back to 'shift up' or
contract the pully? the button on the shifter would get in
the way.
i know it doesn't do anything if you push the button on the shifter
while you pull back, but just annoying that it's there. otherwise I
thought the CVT was pretty cool, but looses the driving fun factor by
maybe 1/2. The HK system along with some dressup parts should make
it a nice commuter or a weekend relaxing cruiser.
