Wish I could find a nice black hood scoop hidden away in my garage!

 

I tried to type "every Tom, D I C K and Harry" one time and they edited that! LOL I'm glad my name isn't D I C K. I wouldn't even be able to put my own name in a posting!

 

Those are beautiful! Now that you've got the template and measurements you really should make and sell them.

 

At last, the set of Breyton GTS-R wheels I ordered have finally arrived.



Next up, getting them on the MINI.

 

Sweet!

 

Oooh! Pretty!!

ruined my transmission today, going to start looking for a new car tomorrow

 

That SUCKS! You going to stay with MINI or go to something else?

 

i can't afford to stay with mini, i'll probably pick up another KIA or a hyundai.
i've sunk so much money into the car to keep it maintained only for it to take a crap 6 months after i bought it.

 

I used to do the same but now little old ladies carry

 

Yes that is cool. What is the original button for?

 

I hate fiberglass!!!!!!!!

 

Rotated my winter tires today. Looks like I've already burned through at least 1/4 of the tread on the front after 5,000km.

 

Installed Koni FSD shocks. Holy Cow! Along with the H-Sport RSB and lower engine mount, what an incredible difference. Cary corners like a champ now... with the RSB the understeer was pretty much eliminated and Cary was carving corners relatively flat. With the addition of the shocks, almost entirely flat cornering and rocking from quick shifts is GONE!! All I need at some point is a really nice set of sticky tires and I wonder how much better still he will perform in the twisties. Thanks, guys for all of the advice from earlier posts. I really appreciate it.

 

swung by the dealer to pick up the glove box organizer and they gave me a black "let's motor" license plate frame that they had sitting around in their break room.

 

Sorry to hear that. What year/type of transmission was in your mini?

In other news, I heard a survey on the radio last week that said Kia and Hyundai had among the best repurchase rates among previous owners.

 

Drove it over some logging roads in Washington's Coast Range with 13 other MINIs on the way to a really good hamburger place in Arctic Washington.

All the MINIs started out clean and waxed and arrived at the restaurant covered with mud!

It was really fun, Thanks, Salish Sea MINI Motoring Club!

it's an 03 CVT. i could drop another CVT (used) in for about $1600 if i did it myself but it just doesn't seem worth it considering how long a used one would probably last.

 

Too bad you cant do a 6 speed swap and call it good.

Sad to hear you will be leaving us.

 

Gave him a good wash and spray detail before the big deep freeze hits. -23 Celcius for a high by Wednesday.

 

Drove Nudnik around running errands, windows down.

72F (that's +23C ) here in Hell's Forge.

Almost makes it worth the summers....

It is the glovebox button

 

Oh yea, took Mini on a date for breakfast at Margaritville.
Pics attached. Oh, took the wife also. Thought I'd better add that.





Click on them for larger pics. Wish I was more computer savoy.

 

Spent three hours hand washing and hand waxing the GP.
