Agreed! Spot on too, what you wrote deejay. And they STILL havent told you where HAWKLING is? After all this time. How ridiculous. Do you have that vin number from HAWKLING? Pm me if you do. I might be able to help you find out where it went

 

Ok I'm done all my catching up

Now if I could just cool off

 

I haven't had any issues at all with the Y cable. I just made sure that the USB and adapter plugs were pushed all the way in and the connector to my iphone goes on and off pretty easily. Maybe I just got lucky?

 

Just like you did with your free swag

 

When I first clicked the link to this thread I thought it was still in the First Gear forum. Then after that it was in my subscribed threads, but that day it wasn't there and when I went looking for it and found it in the General Forum I thought it had been moved...my bad.

 

Not a problem. I just don't want to be out of the loop, since I'm fairly new here and still learning how things work.

 

Yeah, but I think I only got that because I dropped an additional $800 on accessories when I picked Raph up.

 

I saw a blue MINI today with a temporary registration (obviously new). I wondered if it was hawking

 

Yeah, but staying under 4,500 isn't as easy as it sounds with Sport Mode on and Traction Control off.

 

I forgot Winston had that I'll have to take him out in the morning for some twisties.

Oops...my bad...I meant to say "thanks bro" to PMKNHD.

 

The aux jack on my Y-connector also tends to come out (partially) and has to be re-seated. I now check it by habit.

Also, sometimes I don't want to bother with the cable and use Bluetooth only. However, after using the cable, the system "forgets" that I had already enabled Bluetooth audio for the same phone. So I have to drill down to the phone configuration and re-enable Bluetooth audio. (This could be deejay's problem--a smartphone is just a phone to the Mini unless Bluetooth audio is enabled.) But you should only have to configure a phone once, and not lose settings when you change connect modes.

 

I understand! We have wildlife around here to watch out for too.

 

I had a long list of names! I'm terrible with decisions, so picking one was a bit of a challenge! I kept coming back to "Viv" because "vivacious" and "lively" are great words to describe a blue MINI! Also....Viv kinda has that motor accelerating sound....viviviviVIVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV!!!!!!
She's just spunky..I love her!!!

Our cars definitely have their own personalities! Look at this link to see what I found out about "Winston". I think that name is spot on!!!

So, yesterday, the weather here was clear and blue with white, fluffy clouds. I loaded my 2 buckets and all my washing supplies and headed to the manual car wash so I could park under the shade and use their water....
I spent an hour and a half washing, drying and glazing Viv. She looked beautiful!!!
I got a ton of funny looks from everyone who was using the manual car wash "properly". OK....so I looked a bit nerdy....but I needed SHADE!
I picked up my friend for a girl's night out....showed off Viv and went for drinks and a movie. We walk out of the theater, and guess what? Rain. Rain and the greatest lightning show on earth!!!

OK....so like I said before, we had a TERRIBLE drought last year and I am soooo thankful for the rain.......but I mean.....can't Viv have at least a couple of days to shine after all that hard work? UGH!!!!! I think we might be looking for boat storage next week!!!!

Also....I was so tempted to pull over on my way home to take a picture of Viv in the lightning lit sky! It was scary, but very beautiful at the same time! Would have been a great pic! No rain.....just lightning!

 

Duh! That helps!

 

OMG isn't that the truth, I tagged a deer with my Wrangler years ago. $3200 in damages but I was happy to see the dear keep on going.

 

Did it have a scratch on the mirror?

 

Sport mode makes a huge difference in power, response and sound (burbles and pops). I haven't turned the traction control off yet.

 

[quote=TELY;3550639]Your welcome sister!

 

That would have been a great photo op. Dark blue-grey lightning filled sky and Viv in all her glory!

 

WOW! That's spot on for Winston AND me thank you so much for sending that

 

we were Probably detailing our cars at the same time. I too did the same thing as you except I sweated in my driveway. Went inside after finishing, got a shower and got cleaned up... Went into town for a movie (parked Winston in the parking garage away from everyone) came out and we too had a big rain storm with lightning. I was so glad Winston was inside. Sorry viv got rained on. Get the boat in storage

 

I also forgot to push that sport button
