My brother drives a Tacoma, he can't handle well in the curves because he drives a hotdog of a truck,the thing is so long it might roll over. Full four doors and extended bed. I hate driving it. Now Dad's 911... that thing will hold onto some curves. The tires on that thing are bout as wide as my Cooper. But after seeing the bill to get the clutch replaced on his Porsche. I couldn't be happier with my JCW.

 

Ha! He's actually grabbed the passenger strap, and humphed loudly when we corner spiritedly....hope he survives the Dragon

 

Giggles if he survives my wife will go next year. Just make sure you have for him dramamine, and clean underwear in your secret compartment. (LOL)

 

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha....your on, Mr.

That cracked me up! See ya soon

 

She sat nice and still in my garage while I gave her a bath with Griots Spray-On Car Wash. Also used Griots micro fiber cloths. This stuff ROCKS!!!!! may never wash her with water ever again!

Hoping the snow melts and there's not much salt on them when I do take her out.

 

Helped to steady one end of my flue cleaning brush.

As of the 29th I will have owned my Mini a year, and only today discovered she has headlight washers!

Is it true that xenons are required to have auto washers??

 

What were you doing???

 

I believe most countries do though not the US, I know Mazdas don't have them here but do overseas

 

Got a flat tire on the way back to work during my lunch break. 10 piece nuggets, car wash, and a flat tire...

 

Mini made me grin loads, loved driving down the country roads, mega twists and turns, hills and dips all the way home...thats what I love about the uk the wicked lanes cause years ago they didn't have a ruler me thinks...think most of the roads were set out after a few ciders!!!!

 

mmmm...nuggets...sorry about the flat, what dipping sauce?

 

thats awesome, as long as you don't motor on the mega twists and turns after a few ciders, eh?

 

Giggles,
I use Griots waterless with their micro fiber towels and I sure agree with you.
Strangers have walked over and asked where I take my car. I'm always so happy to say, "I do it myself". When you've got such a sweety to shine on, it's a breeze.
My little car keeps us spiffy.

 

My MINI took up room in my garage today. Just like yesterday...and the day before...and the day before that.

 

Yes, the stuff is amazing. Sometimes after the wash I go back over her with the Spray Shine, just for extra and protection from road crud!

Ok, Griots, where's my check!

 

Humph.......!

 

I was screwing around. Seriously, I have a wood stove.

 

Finished up the drive under the carport so today cleaned the Mini up inside and out.
Not a garage but at least it keeps her out of the elements and I have a covered area to work on her.

 

Stayed clean all week. Today's weather will put a halt to that streak...

 

I've been wanting a little ranger to go along with my little car :] how do you like it?

 

Actually, it's a 1999 Mazda troy lee V6 (pretty much same as Ranger) only it has tow package, 16" wheels, etc. I've had it since new and love it. Will probably never get rid of it.
It easily pulls my little trailer with my Harley in it.

 

AND YOU HAVE A HARLEY?!..... DrSimmons... I am jelous... I am glad I got the mini first though. But then again, being a 21 year old in college, I guess I still have time to collect my own toys. I did get my dream car at 19 so I'm almost there.

 

Conrad, at 19 my 1st car was a 1963 Chevy II 100. Then went to Viet Nam. Now at 63, I can look back and my life has been up and down. I'm just now enjoying life. That truck was actually my 1st new vehicle purchase ever, the Harley is a 1996 chopper (bought wrecked and fixed it)about 4 years ago, the car which I've only had for 7 months, well, let's just say it is fun.
Being retired now I have to have something/s to keep me busy. Those are them. Keep on track and you'll get there.
If you're anything like me you'll still be modding cars in your 60's. LOL

 

You are my hero on this forum now lol. I think I will grow old and get a "big boy job" and have fancy things... but I don't think I will ever "grow up". My dad just turned 56, he is always messing around with his Porsche 911, so I'm sure I'll always have the urge to go fast. I have a long list of things I would like to do with my car, but finishing college comes first sadly. And thank you for your service by the way.
