Well, must not have been the money I got because I surely wouldn't call it a LARGE sum of money.

Hope you had a nice Christmas, Zippy ! And an early Happy New Year to you !

 

Ha Ha ... I did have a good Christmas.. This is one of the snowiest ive seen.. About Santa's money...maybe it was his coin purse..lol.. But I also hope things are well with you and the family..Sounds like you had a good holiday season so far.. sorry to here about your son and the MINI in winter driving... We all learn

 

Yeah, I didn't even take away his key for a while like I would have had he had an accident due to carelessness. His first time driving in the snow, crap happens.

 

Your a good dad CR.. your son probably felt horrible already..im sure he learned something.. My first winter with my first MINI was an eye opener for me.. one minute things were fine...next thing I new I was spinning in circles like a top!! ha ha.. not to mention I damn near crapped my pants!! lol.. That was my first experience with run flat sport tires in snow..and I think we all know what that's like!! EEK! :D

 

Yep. I slid on black ice in Germany when I was young and took out a post. Haven't had an accident on ice or snow since... 29 years later. Hoping my son can go at least the rest of the winter without another one. After that, he'll be out on his own and he can pay for it.

 

Happy Boxing Day!

I just got a 2013 S 6MT as a loaner...

 

Which one are you getting?

 

Same here! Got gift cards to ECS and WWM to go along with my blind spot mirrors! Hard part is deciding what else to get, but I think I might go with a short shifter and possibly the belly pan.

Wise choice I recommend the softest setting.

 

right. I remembered that from a previous discussion, either in this thread or the Waiters thread.

 

It's Big News: CR goes to the Bar!!!

(Softest setting to start. Otherwise, you'll find out how fast you can go ... Backward!)

 

Hmmmmm..... backwards... fast.... sounds like fun.

 

+1

 

I just ordered a NM Short Shift kit and cover box and a WMW rear sway bar for my R60 Can't wait!

Also installed the blind spot mirrors, which have taken a few days to get used to. Because of the slight bend in the glass (duh!) everything appears a little distorted and it's been throwing me off...and I thought the mirrors were supposed to solve blind spots, not cause them!

 

Congrats!! Easiest way to view blind spots is to extend your mirror view out further from the car = free

 

They were a Christmas present, so technically...

 

Can you say re gift ? Lol

 

Happy New Year, Fellow Gotters !

May 2014 be your best year ever. May your MINI(s) be problem free, suddenly develop 20 more HPs, 5 more MPGs and your seat become more comfortable.

 

Back at ya!!

 

Happy New Year!!

 

Hey CR, get that bar on yet?

 

Bump

 

Ouch!

 

I'm dying to know what CR thinks of his new sway bar that we talked him into.
