I have no problem with dubbers...Only when they are trying to push me out of their way on 101. Well usually it's two modded MKIV Jettas...

Unfortunately a good amount of the dubs are teenage ********* now, it's similar to the civic scene.

We all need to have a spring meet. Maybe a clean or wrench/BBQ? Just a thought.

Anyone know what Bedford or Peabody charges for a JCW oil change? There is a place in Freeport ME that I want to compare against.

I won't be any help since my oil changes were under the free maintenance with MINI. Now that I'm out of free maintenance I usually either do it myself or just pay my work to do it. I want to say my work charges between $60 to $70 with synthetic 5w30.

Here is a coupon for Mini of Bedford for an oil service for R50/R52/R53 MINIs.

I would probably do my own if my floor jack or ramps would actually fit under my mini. I have 17" run flats so no jack provided. I guess I could try my yaris jack but that thing is junk. I just need to put a monkey pit in my garage.

Mine had 17" runflats and I have the jack/tool kit. R52s and R53s are suppose to have a jack/tool kit as well.

Just pick up an oil extractor. No need to jack or lift the Mini. When I was still working for bavauto.com they had an oil extractor that works great on Minis. It "was" selling for $60 bucks.

For now I just assume pay for it. I can justify 80 in between my annual free mini change. Plus I don't have to worry about disposal.

The Facebook Page is just that - a Page. And I'm hesitant to try to make the jump to a group, as I'm worried about confusing followers. That being said, the up-sides of switching to a group seem like they out weigh sticking to the Page. I'll try to get something up and running tomorrow morning. Haven't had much time for anything other than work the last few days (finally have a little break today).

Nick I had to Transition peps over to the Group I owned for a while for my kids Schools PTO. IMO the group has a better layout ..you can see all the posts ...for some reason the Pages are not as viewing friendly

Also do we want the names to mirror one another? Are we Granite State Minis Or MINIS of NH?? I vote GSM ..only because i have changed the website to that
