HA. I don't really care. I see now that I can change the name of the page. But again - if I change it to a group (blow up the page, start fresh), I can name it whatever we want. GSM is fine by me. It's growing on me. LOL

Negative. I am going to save the money. My car is a 2010, purchased new, with just under 20k on it now. I am still under the maintenance plan and warranty. I can take care of the issues covered under the plan.

It's always been 15k...I don't believe in recommend BMW/MINI oil service. I've seen what the inside of alot of BMW and MINI engines with high mileage and its not pretty. Sludging and carbon build up.

I thought it was at 10K or a year, whichever came first. My computer was always reset to 10K on my free oil changes. I actually went in a bit early for my second one before winter came.

MINI changed the service intervals for the Justas. From 15k to 10k.

My MINI no longer has stripes! Took advantage of this warm day and removed my stripes from bonnet to boot and put the JCW grill trim on. I was worried about fading or shadowing from the stripes but it looks fine. It needs a good bath and wax.

How about a gtg at the New England Tap House Bar & Grille in Hooksett? If we decide to meet here it would have to be either Saturday or Sunday afternoon. They are really busy during evenings.

edit: plenty of parking...

I think they have been open for a few months. Good food and good choices for beer. The Tap House is in the same strip mall as Goodwill and Advance Auto Parts on Hooksett Road.

I only suggested the weekends since Tap House is really busy in the evenings.

What does your schedule usually look like?

Man...Those are the two days the Tap House is the busiest. I asked yesterday when I was there. I'm sure we can figure something out.

I see they serve Switchback. Pencil me in, depending on day/time...assuming you'll allow a Vermonter into your ranks...

I'd be interested in the gtg at the Hooksett location. We live in Chester so it's nice and close. Keep us informed. We're retired so any day or time is good for us. Thanks.
