My engine was misfiring on acceleration and I had noticed that my fuel mileage was decreasing. My first thought was that I should consider new spark plugs. Rather than proceed on my own, I decided to take it to a mechanic friend of mine. Although he didn't have MINI experience, he was pretty good at diagnosing problems.

He listened to the engine and then asked me if I had noticed anything unusual about the car. When I told him that I had seen feathers in the tailpipe, his response was, "That's it, undoubtedly your plugs are fowled!"




Sorry, the devil made me do it.

 

 

Talk about Fowl!

 

Did a chicken squeeze through the hood scoop?

 

Maybe it was a mini Tweetie bird!

 

Should have saved this one for April first.

 

My MINI has ingested quite a few birds thru the "mail slot".
grgramps, well done.

 

Your MINI might have the bird flu........just saying.

 

You must have a Rooster Red interior!
