I know that but I have no other choice.... either someone wants to buy him and has the money or they can’t buy him.

Simple enough...

Did you get a new trackrat?Luving the Laguna Seca Mustang but may sell it and the 1M then get a new 911 and a Rover Evoque.

Funny how u have been crying about a check engine light and as soon as it's
gone the car is for sale. Good luck with the sale. I know how u feel about the
light though. Haveing the same issue.

 

I’m not sure exactly that was suppose to mean but I assure you the light getting turned off has absolutely nothing to do with me selling Oscar. I quit crying about the check engine light a year ago when RMW refused to do anything about it.

The check engine light was on ONLY when I use the RMW tune. I’ve been running the Alta tune for about a year now.

I decided a few weeks ago to reinstall the RMW tune and see what I could do with the light. Way at Waymotorworks was able to change the ECM so it couldn’t see the light which the RMW tune it was able to see.

The light being on (with the RMW tune) had NOTHING to do with the fact the car is up for sale. I’ve been kicking the idea around for about a year and though I enjoyed Minis on the Dragon, I realized it was time to move on to another project.

So, now the mini has no light on with stock tune, Alta tune or RMW tune. I just wanted to make sure that it was in proper working order before it got sold.



If you’re having the same problem, either ask RMW to turn it off. (he can do it, whether he will do it is another story) If he won’t/can’t, call Way up at Way Motor Works, he has a work around programming that will remove it.

Crush, for some reason hearing Oscar is up for sale is like hearing Ward and June Cleaver are getting divorced.
It just makes you sad.

 

LOL, it's okay, someone will get a fantastic car and I'll start something else...


Mark

 

Ok, I'm certain many will agree with me here. The proper way to get rid of Oscar, is a "Guess how many M&M's are in the jar" contest. However, I'm quite certain one member will disagree with me, so good luck with the sale of a beautiful car.

 

Man, that is quite an impressive mini. I didnt think the list of mods would ever end.lol. Best of luck. I think who ever ends up taking it home will not be disappointed.

 

Though I haven’t posted Oscar for sale in any place other than NAM, I’m lowering the price to $23K


Mark

 

wanna sell me the JCW seats?

 

NOPE

 

Anyone have any experience with one of these?

 

Your new boy?

 

Looks like fun. As I recall, about a year ago you were considering a Cayman to replace Oscar. If it were me, I'd be looking at Caymans or Boxsters before a Z4. Actually, a 993 would be at the top of my short list. Just my preference for P cars.

 

Keep your MINI assuming payed off and use it as a show car to let everyone know your awesome paint/body skills.

 

I actually went and looked at the new 2013 Boxster. Great car, great handling, but too plain for me.

And since I want a convertible, that cuts the Cayman out.

The Z4 is an “M” so hopefully it will look better than a normal Z4. (not to mention power... it’s 333 HP)



BTW... SALE PENDING ON OSCAR!!



Mark

 

Have you checked the boxter's new extras? thrust vectoring, active engine mounts etc

Its a personal thing but I would go for the Porsche, (as we have a cayman)

 

The Boxster is a true handling machine - do not just look - go wring one out

 

No doubt in my mind that the Boxster is a true driving machine... not a doubt in my mind.

Having said that.... I want this as a daily driver and I’m not taking it to the track so the fact that it will outhandle the Z isn’t high on the list.

Now, if I were tracking the car... absolutely.


Mark

 

How about this porsche for something different. I saw a white one at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix last year and fell in love with the car. So different, and not plain at all:



Or this Targa Top, Low $ item made by porsche

 

Okay, okay... you guys win. I just hung up with my sales guy at Porsche. I’m hung up a little bit on the looks of the Boxster until I saw a 2013.

So I configured one and he’s pricing it out now. This is what I want.





2013’s look MUCH better.

Mark

PS. Now I gotta see if I can get my deposit back on the BMW. DOH!

 

hahah, what's ur configuration?
