We purchased our MINI from Bill Jacobs in Naperville in January and we're thrilled with it. Rachel was very helpful and accomodating eventhough we were from out of town(she stayed late on a Saturday night). If you find yourself in the Quad Cities, expect a wave from a Dark Grey 2007 MCS.

 

Good to see more QCA minis this is a fun group to be around,looking forward meeting you

 

Welcome! I live in Rock Island and work in Davenport. For a while there I thought I was the only one posting from the QC.

 

Good to see more MINI's even in this rough winter yuck!

 

Welcome! Hope to see you for some fun events when the weather gets better!

 

I think I spotted you on 53rd and Tremont today. Dark silver roof matches body color with no plates? Post some pics, show it off ! We all like to admire each others ride.

 

'ello gov'ner

Is there a special wave or ritual thing for MINI's?

Can't wait to beep at ya!

My MINI:
ordered - 7/18/08
born - 7/25-08
arrival - not soon enough (8/22/08 ?)
name - unknown @ this time
race - MCS '08 / chili & black bonnet stripes / CF bonnet scoop / sport pkg / 17" cs wheels / MF s.wheel / arm rest

see you see me soon!

 

a wave, a flash of the head lights, or a honk are all aceptable for sure...




I take it from where posted you are from the QC area I am from Iowa City but go thru or to the QC about 2 times a month on the weekends hope to see you there or at one of our events August 30th is a drive to Madison WI for taste of Wisconsin would be a great drive to break in your new baby!

 

Ooooh fun. Congrats on the order!

Any type of wave or honk is acceptable as far as I am concerned

 

Hi there!
We should set up a MINI meet/greet perhaps over thanksgiving weekend and see if we can get QC Mini's to attend. What do you say?

 

Hello there!

I'd like to set up a QC Mini meet/greet perhaps over thankgiving weekend. What do you say?

 

My only issue with thanks giving is Thursday night I am cooking for 35 and having 10 stay over not sure when they are leaving and how long it will take me to recover. But given the correct time and all I am up for anything

 

Hmm we might be able to make something, we are to be at my mom for Thanksgiving which is in Eldridge so right outside the QCA

 

definitely not thanksgiving day but Fri or Sat would be ideal for me.

 

We are taking the mini down to Florida for Thanksgiving and won't be back to the Quad Cities 'till December 4th. I hate to miss out on a gathering so close to home.

 

Maria and I agree we need to get the Quad Cities Minis togather kinda like I. C. there every where up here so we will help in any way.

 

anybody ? i need help. i have 6k on my mcs is it time for a tire rotate?
how come the manual does not mention tire rotation? should my dealr do it? i took it there the other day and they wanted 50 bucks to do it. i passed on the service. they did say "anyone can rotate the tires but balancing and something else should should be done by the dealer."

what is the true story on this? please help.

 

if you search around on here you will find many conflicting ideas around tire rotation.

If you have directional tires you can move front to back

I don't personally rotate my tires I do have winter tires however so I change every season.

Its really up to you

anyone can rotate if you so choose 17mm socket and jackstands you can do it as well

 

I swap front-to-back and back-to-front in the spring and fall when I change between summer and winter tires. I just sit down in my crappy garage and use the jack that came with my MINI, greasing the jack screw frequently, since I doubt it was intended to be used very much. The dealer is 5 hours away from my Southeast Iowa home, so it's out of the question for tire rotation.
