Nope. I'm waiting to get my Mini running and stuff before I start buying more stuff for it. Apparently something's wrong with her but my dad hasn't told me what it is yet. I have to call him tomorrow :impatient

 

That is the beauty of owning a Mini. You never know what is going to go wrong with it!

 

I think I'm going to call my dad now and see what's wrong with my mini. I'll post up what he says when I get off the phone.

 

Ummm...anyone know where you can get the hard line that runs to the two front brakes (it's made outta copper)

 

I know I've seen that part on sites like Minispares.co.uk, but a local place would be better. Start with GBcarparts.com and then proceed to minimania.com if they don't have it. If you can't find it in the catalog (things like that sometimes don't have photos) then email them. MiniMania also has a good Forum where people wil often link you to obscure suppliers.

GOod luck!

 

Woo hoo! It's fixed. No more buying parts....for now.

 

Until tomorrow

 

LOL yea. I had to buy more brake fluid does that count as more parts? I still have to order an oil filter or two too. :impatient

 

No more repair parts-maybe, but, now you are going to start with the "upgrades"!!

After running with a MINI club this past weekend, it seems to never stop-and their cars were far newer than mine!!

Too Funny how obsessed we can get.

 

damn. now it's broken (kinda. still drivable) again. I've got a leakey water pump gasket.

 

Time to do the fan belt and hose replacements while your replacing the pump....here goes...:impatient

 

While you're replacing the water pump, you better replace the bypass hose, too. It goes from the top of the water pump to the head. It's a right royal pain to replace without the water pump out.

 

LOL it has a brand new water pump on it. I don't know why it's leaking.

 

Man alive... now I wonder of my "problem free" Mini is really just that clean, or if it's just because I don't have access to a mechanic 24/7 to see all my problems. Now I'm a bit freaked out...

I hope you get everything sorted out - when you kill all the niggling bugs, you WILL have a really unique car - just keep telling yourself that.

 

LOL. Thanks...

 

OMG i love driving my mini

 

I figured out how to turn on my headlights today. Woo hoo!

 

Often useful for a daily driver.

 

Woo hoo!! The DMV found my title and sent it and all my other paperwork back to me (without the plates..) but now I can get temp tags. Woo hoo!!

 

LOL... the saga continues.

 

LOL I'm sure I can get temp tags now.

 

Ok, does this mean your bumblebee is driveable? It's really out there on the streets of KC (or just south)?

Those pictures in the garage next to the tractor lawnmower were nice, but really--I'd like to start seeing pix taken at the Sonic, mini meets, etc.

And... I'd like to see this rascal in person someday!

 

BB should have temp tags tomorrow so she'll be out motoring around on Belton streets soon. Might even rangel up a friend and take them to sonic or mcdonalds drive thru in it and take pictures. LOL

 

I couldn't get temp tags. It's been over 30 days since the date of sale so now I have to write a check and send them the money and wait for my real plates. Sorry Seth. I don't think she'll make it to you Mini Meeting homecoming.

 

Just put your other car's plates on there and drive carefully...

J/K... Don't do that.
