Complete is probably not the best choice of words

 

HAHA Are we ever REALLY Complete??

 

Everytime I tell myself, "Yeah I'm probably done for a while". There always seems to be something I need to do or change. Maintenance or Modifications it doesn't matter, there is always something.

 

I just took Rupert though the touchless car wash.

 

Did this over the weekend. Conceptualization & procurement took much longer

 

Lower front CF spoiler ?

 

Did you upgrade those headlights before you tinted them? Or are you still running standard Halogens?

 

crossed a MINI milestone er...kilometerstone. Couldn't stop right at 200K due to traffic on the highway.

10 years and counting. Thanks for coming along for the ride.

 

Looks like he added the Red Splitter I made him to his CF Splitter for a Unique look!!!

 

Thanks , of course with that front end , plenty of mods to choose from.

 

Great! Nice to see another old timer on the forums...

 

How about some words of advice as how to get to 200k? My 2008 is getting ready to flip 100k. It's had a few issues but nothing that couldn't be fixed. Appreciate the advice......

 

Thanks....,
Yes; very base nice unit from N2MINI covered in red and added two CF "winglets" along with Rhino lip and aluminum rods.
I just painted the headlights with tin spray.
Wanted a original look without breaking the bank.

 

Yes, congrats , I am at 248,000 Miles on an 05' MCC

 

Or almost 400,000KM!

 

Yep, thats allot of KMs. Wonder what it does when it reaches 1,000,000 and flips. I know a person in Wisconsin with almost 400,000 miles on an 02' .

 

Keep the car clean inside and out, including the bonnet (engine bay).
You can drive fast and even hard, but do it as smoothly as possible.
Keep a good maintenance schedule. Fix or replace anything that runs amiss as soon as possible.
...and drive your car - motor on! MINIs do not like sitting around.

 

Not today, but over the last couple of weekends replaced the pads (EBC Red) & rotors (Centric) and added a couple of gauges (Depo-Racing - water temp & voltmeter).

 

Added a stripe.

 

I made mine feel HUGE by parking next to a Smart Car.

 

Thats smaller than a smart car! Thats a Scion iQ!

 

You,re right. I should pay more attention.

 

It's actually larger than a Smart Car, BUT it seats 4!

 

Ok, ok, ok. Its shorter than a Smart car . And have you been in one of those? Those 2 back seats are laughable!

 

I stalked the two ships that my MINI might end up on.




This is the Ivory Arrow being loaded at Southampton and departing for Baltimore today (Sept 4). My car just completed production yesterday, so I'm not sure if it will have had time to be put on this ship.





This is the Endurance, which is currently in Belgium. It departs Belgium tomorrow for Southampton and departs Southampton for Baltimore on Sunday, Sept 6. If my MINI isn't on the Ivory Arrow, it'll almost certainly be on this one.
