General MINI TalkShared experiences, motoring minutes, and other general MINI-related discussion that applies to all MINIs, regardless of model, year or trim.
After what seems like 500 tweaks, I think I finally have the ride height where I want it. I have an appointment for an alignment tomorrow. I love how this car feels with this wheel/tire/suspension setup but it's not really as low as I'd like it to be.
Also, I put yellow tint on the fogs (not sure how I feel about it) and tinted all of the side markers. I'll be doing the joey mod in the next few weeks.
We went out motoring in the Bridgetown, under the pretext of verifying the petrol tank reserve warning gong.
Rarely do I get a chance to stop on my Portland's bridges to take a few photographs. Better yet there were no car stopping too close so I took the opportunity to snap a few Mini's selfies. We stop on the Steel Bridge as it was being raised when we arrived. It is my favorite bridge in Portland.
Seeing I was taking photos of the Mini the lady in the running outfit in the photo came and talk to me. She said she has been thinking of getting a Mini. She remarked that she wants a Pepper White one too.
I knew the fuel was quite low the day before but I deliberately deferred fueling up as I just enable petrol tank reserve audible gong. I wanted to verify it works. As this trip was out to enjoy motoring in the Mini, the gong must have went off during the spirited driving - probably drowned out by the supercharger that I didn't hear it.
the fuel tank got dangerously low

Reason: add sentences, change photo
There are various thickness I found the thinnest to work best. Cut a 1/4" wide x 1" long piece and push drown the vent as far as you can. You will feel some felt around the vent and stick the newly cut piece on top of it. After that it will be like new again.
Nice ! Wish we had C&C Events here as often as they do in CA and FL....
The local C&C events are usually so early in the morning down here, and at least a half hour drive away (if not more) that I usually miss them. Thankfully, the new Key Biscayne one is less than 5 minutes from my place in downtown Miami, so it's easy to attend - I literally get out of bed 15 minutes after it starts, and I still have a few hours of hanging out.
