i agree

 

I'm fascinated (and jealous) about all this.

 

this one my be slightly harder:

"No regrets, that's my motto. Well... that and everyone **** Chung tonight."

 

Only the snowboarders could find more than a couple of redeeming qualities in that one. Consider this -- its total take at the box office would only cover about 3% of the cost it took to make Avatar...

 

okay! way to go on the TRON quote. If i had enough money my next MINI would be a TRON MINI.
I was stumped on Miah's quote. But i haven't seen that movie.

you guys are 2 for 2. if u get this trifecta i'll have a special prize at the Meat & Eet.

by the way i trust you are doing this by strait brain knowledge and NOT using the internet.

The middle one is easy -- Shark Tale

The third one has me stumped.

second is for sure shark tale
third one is............ i have no clue... for some reason i think i have head it
in a movie, possibly one i own too. but i am drawing a blank as i am finishing things up here at home so i can go home and watch the HAWKS!!

Yes, it was transformers...circa 1986 the animated movie. AWESOME because Optimus dies. lotta deaths in that movie. that was made sooo good. one of my top 10 movies.

One can always dream, can't he?

I think it was Rob who pointed these out a long time ago, but I lost track of the link to them. Thanks for finding it!!!

 

if u havent seen it yet go watch the trailer for the "Marmaduke" movie. There's a nice little surprise in the beginning.

 

We happened to have Wheel of Fortune on in the background on the kitchen TV this evening. The woman in the bonus round figured out the puzzle, and guess what the grand prize was? A new MINI Cooper Clubman.

Thanks 'bear. Got it up on our website too.

 

Those who have been troubled by the cold start rattle and below-zero throttle freeze-up (like me) may be interested in this comment on MotoringFile.com today.

"Gabe Jan 13th, 2010 Link
Any idea if this results in a redesign of the chain tensioner and components that have been so troublesome (the infamous cold start chatter)?

We will have a full report on that later this week. But suffice to say I would wait for a March build for more reasons than one."

 

Yep, lots of really interesting news coming out about the 2011 R56 design refresh. The Valvetronic system integration that has already been leaked may represent an acknowledgment of the need for an improved design.

Have you experienced the throttle body condensation issues with Lolly, or was that frustration limited to your prior experience with Molly?

 

I've had no problems of any kind with Lolly (who has no turbo); fingers crossed at 15,000+ miles -- notably, no throttle icing and no cold start rattle.

The conditions for Lolly are different, though. She's been in a pretty tight garage since cold weather arrived. Molly's turbo got thoroughly chilled in the windswept Olds garage.

 

I have the CSDR (cold start death rattle).
it is annoying and happens at 3k revs. so i just try to stay below that to keep it quiet until it warms up then its pedal to the metal baby.
I kicked in my Sport Function yesterday for some extra fun. I love zipping thru traffic up here in the Chicago area.
