Earlier I said 5 quarts of Mobil 1, but I forgot a few things....

The MINI got:
1/87 Scale Yellow MINI as a toy
5 quarts of Mobil 1 and filter
4 new spark plugs
a Valentine 1 remote module and the module to hardwire it
new wiper blades front and rear
a MINI "Wings" keychain.

I just did the oil and spark plugs. The MINI is an 05 MCS/JCW with 19,750 miles. Has anyone ever pulled a plug and looked at it? Holy Cow! They were black as midnight. 100K mile tune-up my foot! I'll be getting the MINI "gifts" of spark plugs each 20K miles from now on. And yep, you can tell a difference in driving it.....

Just thought I'd toss out a good "after Christmas" gift idea for all y'all's MINIs!

I bought my MCS a new set of shoes (18" Enkei RPM2's with Toyo Proxy 4s) and the rest of the holiday cash is going towards the WMS exhaust in January at the Phoenix pulley party. Happy Holidays!

Christmas

Do things that were bought for me count?

I now have a set of 7 holeys with the stock Conti all-seasons, and a ALTA lightweight crank pulley (stock diameter to go with my 19% reduction SC pulley).

It wasn't a bad day!

I got the alta intake, autometer boost & oil pressure gauges, and an Aero grill. This stuff was all on my list, and I had not even ordered the car yet!

However, taped to the Aero Grill (my last present) was my production sheet! My wife had ordered my MINI right after thanksgiving, and i should take delivery next week!

webefine , nice pic

Your husband does not look too happy about being in the cold

Great pic for the winter, the day after christmas my MINI got hit and someone went through our yard.

Now I have to get her fixed.
Lucky they had insurance, 16 yr old girl, with two other people.
They dented her.
Hope you have a good new year and look forward to Nemacolin 2006 show.
