I could count my receipts... have anythign related to my mini from lights to bolts to everything.... and that would tell a different story... atleast more than most guys spend on the girl friends

lol good...just remember...everytime you get on it...she's giving back...it's great isn't it....and you can do it whenever you want....

 

if Only I wasnt broke... do to my stupidity! I would have been trying to get ahold of you for a small addition under the bonnet...

 

what's broken now? or are you still dealing with the clutch problem?

 

bonnet doesnt close correctly on the drivers side (aero bumper bent, plus the top doesnt close properly)... belt squeel on cold startup, mini dealer is 3 hours away, i am currently -$877.61 overdrawn this month, need new tires, had to fork out 250 somethign dollars for a rental car after mini of nashville said they were paying for it... overall it the sh|ttiest part of my life... ever

-josh

almost forgot dads in a PTSD clinic in nashville will be gone for 6 more weeks, parents just got a divorce, oh yea and i and crying like a little ***** right now

I work full time, school full time 18+ days...

 

Well, not to sound retarded...but when I was your age....I had my own pile of crap....and think about this....it can only get better...life only gives you want you can handle...trust me...I could tell you stories you wouldn't belive... I am not saying it doesn't suck right now...feel like takin a drive? I'm sure I can help with your mini problems..

 

i need to do something... cuz i am about to freakign explode... after over a year of constant work and school....where do i end up? in a ****ed up place...

 

I hear ya...even with all the good stuff I have been involved in this year...the bad has piled up at points...what's different for me is I have been through worse....keep your chin up...take a vacation...have a few drinks....it gets better.... ok wait skip the drinks right now...that could lead to a habit in your current state....that's no good

 

well since all I own is my mini... and can't make payments on it... I need to sell it... but if I sell it now.. I will just about break even on it... which leaves me STILL in the hole money wise... with a crappy home life and no car...

vacation? right... i need money for that
drinks... been there done that only solves stuff till you sober up

idk what to do..

-Josh

im going to go drive around at 230am...

 

that's what I have done since I was 16....whenever I needed to get away...just me, the road, some music...it's good stuff...go

 

The Dad in me wants to butt in here, having been through several separations myself.

Be tough. Grit your teeth. Take the pain. Once it reaches its peak . . .

 

yes, that too

 

I wish my mini ran right now.. driving in the turbo Volvo doesn't just cut it, but hey, keep your chin up, I've been through worse also. It will all get better sooner or later. Right now, I'm having withdrawals about a girl, but hey, is that going to stop me from living my life to the fullest? heck no. P.S. Say Hi to Lucy for me. Vader says Hi.

 

back on topic.... so.... pink MINIs......

 

i want a pink mini.
i've talked to my dad about a pink mini.
it was a long time ago the first time, and i didn't know it, but he talked to his painter friend already... and he said HE wouldn't paint my car, because the chips would show yellow underneath.
i figured oh well, i'll just paint it black for now, add my pink, then do all pink later.
then he says if i paint the car, i should move out. If i want to fork over that much money, it'll be my choice what it's for... but if it's not on my first place, i'm out of his house :P

So wouldn't i be able to get an all black paint job for cheap? haha. I'll just add the pink wet okoles seat covers and little tidbits for now

 

Okay, so, I thought ya'll were really ragging on The Queen for "defacing" her MINI: you got me....BUT IT'S STILL BEAUTIFUL! My first MINI was Pepper White...I was going to get it painted some kind of vibrant pink (as a matter of fact, JUST LIKE THAT ONE!) ...and have a Laurel Burch Cat reproduced on the roof....but money was always an issue. I guess it just wasn't meant to happen. I am glad someone else did it because IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!!! Flora Blue

 

that shouldnt be the case... if he did the paint properly the only color that should show thru should be the pink primer... (its bubblegum pink)

 

What all kind of go fast goodies do you have?

 

none really... shes all CRAP!
JCW *factory* tuning kit, JCW Suspension, JCW brakes... thats all of it... my poor SO has not had a chance to make her go fast!

 

Vader's down again?

 

....JCW engine, brakes and suspension...sounds like a great car to me! (i used to have a works myself.)

sigh.....have you been reading that H-stock thread as well?

 

Actually it looks pretty kool,really stands out from the norm.I only have one question! Do you,or have you ever sold Mary Kay cosmetics? Grin

 

hehehe no... in fact, im allergic to their products

 

Clutch.. not strong enough, well the kevlar in the clutch keeps melting.

 

that's kick-***!!

Great photos too....
