Your one of the lucky ones Dave. I get to drive an Countryman S until my oil feed line for turbo is being replaced, they can take their time with it!

Now if I could only remember where I parked that lovely Countryman S...

 

installed injen short ram intake

 

Ha! I didn't see your 'eyes' last week on the EIM Tour. I don't think I've seen another MINI that switched the eyes so it wasn't an angry Cooper.

 

... "BBS R90 MINIs right here and for ~$755.08 for a set on sale , while they last"

The estimate for refinishing mine came out to be $550.00 and no guarantee that they will go back together without issue... So I'm planning on ordering a new set today... one of my Carlisle MINI Club members told me about the sale when we did our 2nd Annual Gimmick Rallye Back on September 27th, I've been thinking about it since. Looks like its time to pull the trigger on them...

...and I'll do the refinishing myself on the originals, then I can mount up some dedicated Winter tyres... (great plan)

Motor on!

 

Thanks

Figured I would pass this info on to a very nice MC40 owners. and new R90 anthracite wheel for this price you cannot beat.

 

are these the multi piece?

 

Yes... they are, the original R90 BBS two piece wheels. (Original Equipment for the MC40)

Motor on!


...oh, yea! Ordered.

 

Yep two piece BBS wheel ( Factory MINI ) and the titanium fasteners . Pretty cool rim lunched for 2004 MC40.

 

I painted my driving light covers with Ace Hardware Banner Red paint. It's very close to my Chili Red mirror covers. It's not my best work but I can live with it.

...new graphics (haven't got to rooftop and back), oil changed, and software flushing for JCW brake kit.... enough for one day

 

Traded it in for this thing

 

I'm gonna vomit

 

 

I have one of those and a MINI.

Dave

 

Nice truck! Soon, I'll shall send mine down the road in favor of a Frontier or Tacoma.

I did change the engine oil today

 

If that's your only vehicle, it's just kill me now time.

I'm just about to trade my 24,000 mile 2004 Frontier farm/shop stripped truck for a Tacoma 4x4. I'm keeping my no trouble at all, hugely reliably, Mini S and my M3...

 

I can hear you on the Tacoma 4x4, time to sling some mud!

 

I doubt any mud will be slung. It's going to assume farm/shop truck duties. As it's going to be a 4x4, it will free up the wife when she decides to get rid of the Kia Sportage SX. (talk about a vehicle that's absolutely no fun to drive....)


But I'm also at an age where I'm going to refuse to own a stripped anything.

 

I plasti-dipped the hood scoop, mirror caps, door handles, latch handle, and gas cap on my BRG R53

 

OEM bulb went out...LED time!

 

I was wondering if I was having connectivity issues... so many days have passed inbetween posts... hehe

 

Got something to join the MINI

First thing I did was remove the M badge

 

Nice , looks like a 325es , very clean. E30's forever ! LOL

 

Ziza plate light leds ?
