One has to ask are any of us ever really going to be finished? Once you do that first mod its a path that knows no end.

Well spoken Chief. I can honestly say for us mad modders - "there is no light at the end of the tunnel."

It is a disease and an addiction all rolled into one, with no support groups other than those that want to help you do more mods.

This bug also seems to cause people to walk up to Mini's in parking lots and look into windows to see what "they" have done.

Tru Dat
I am guilty. When I was returning form Colorado last month I stopped for breakfast in this coffee shop and parked next to a Mini. Yes I looked inside, I had a seat where I could watch the cars. Looked at alll the customers trying to figure out who had the Mini. Finally, I saw this women leave and go to the Mini, Then she stars looking in my windows and walking around looking at the outside. Then a man joins her and he does the same and I watch them pointing and conversing. They Finally get in car, after bickering about who is going to drive, and as they slowly pull out they keep eying my Mini.

Sitting down here in San Diego for the past two weeks I have done it several times Seems like many of them need to do their first Mod...

On a different subject Crevier sent a check for the replacement of iPod/iPod Cover/Cable the sad part is they made it for cost only. I guess that the tax part comes out of my wallet. The good part after I purchased the cable from a different dealer and by using ebay for the cover and Craigslist for the iPod I came out with a 8 Gig iPod new cover and still had enough money to fill my gas tank up from empty

Airbag light stays on. Had seats reupholstered and can't get light to go off. Removed negative battery wire to see if it would reset but that's a negatory!! Can you help a mini in need?

Sounds like a loose connector? Or unhooked?

I can reset the light as long as they didn't damage the airbag in the seat. It just takes a minute if everything was put back together correctly.

thanks. If you are going to be in the shop tomorrow, I can come up and get it reset. The airbags in the seats look fine when I was watching them take the leather off to restitch and reupholster.

Some are loose, but the newer cars are a b!tch. They hang on for dear life. It takes less than a hour to do it by removing the bumper and not bending it all to he!! in the process of removing the old piece. I bet Blimey can change a cam in 15 minutes too.
