Got a minute--brake light check

Prank your friends & relatives while they/you are visiting for the holidays. "Got a minute, help me check my brake lights" For those of you that don't know, the Mini comes equipped with a super soaker 5000 cleverly discuised as a rear window washer. To arm you just flip open the cover over the wiper arm mounting bolt. Now go find someone to help you "check your brake lights" Inevitably they will stand near the middle of the car well within the 15' range.

Just make sure you flip the cover open before you find a helper.

Not recommended for tailgaters. Black food coloring. You've just been Squidded!

LOL, we used to do that at the dealer to anyone that would stop or get within range. You only had to twist the nozzle around on early models. Thanks for bringing back some laughs from the past.

It'll be worth every penny. I hope they're not allergic to distilled water.

So whatever happened to Lilith after she divorced Adam & he married Eve. Or were they married? One thing is for sure there wern't Christians yet; so it wouldn't be considered a sin.

After her brief relationship with Adam, she moved on wandering the Earth haunting men's dreams.

Now a days Lilith's soul lives on in my MINI. She's kind of like a modern day Christine.

Pull the plastic thing back seds washer fluid every where,or use a paper clip re-aim it a little higher sends it straight up and lands on your victim. (Mine sprays high enough while hitting the window that it will enter the airsteam above the car an soak the car behind me as well

I did this a few times after I got my MINI, and I had some good laughs! But no longer though as I just removed the rear wiper & motor today, a al that other thread...

So, if anyone wants an earlier model unit to have such fun, let me know.
