I was wondering that too....

How are you and your MINI doing Minikin?

This has been way too much fun since arrival. A small dealer service visit this week...perhaps not small but was alert to have an intermittent battery light checked. Alternator was replaced, apparently there is a documented diode failure. Meant to ask about our software version out of curiosity. Does anyone know what it is for the early May builds? Mine was 5/8.

Have had a clear bra installed, tinted windows and chrome add ons. MINI is looking very classy.

>>Hey Juners, where'd you all go?

Hey, I'm here.
Since my "son" sit in my garage, my life has been changed a lot.
Commuting through different route every day, especially I love back roads.
There's lots of "nice" back roads here with few traffic but curvy and up and down.
My MCS is still under break-in and I try to keep its rev between 3000 and 4000.
Thus I have to keep on changing my gear back and forth.
It's really good exercise for heel and toe.
I would like to post some beautiful pictures soon.

As for some exterior change, only thing I added is "cooper" valve cap for tires.
Interior, I bought a cargo net. (This is a cool staff and useful.)
Now I'm just considering about window tinting...

One more thing,
I bought a small compressor last week in order to keep my all season tires under constant air pressure. I set it up at 33 psi.

I believe, you Juners enjoy motoring every day !

Keep in touch!

Sorry for the late response, emagineer.
I had been working on a project for work and haven't had the chance to read MCO lately.

My MINI and I are well, though we haven't gone on any road trips yet. Maybe this coming weekend? It's been a week and a half and I only have 264 miles on her! My brother-in-law offered to finish the break-in period within a week with his loooong commute. I said I'll pass.

No mods yet so far. I'd like to have the clear-bra installed soon. Let's see pics of your classy MINI!

Thanks for keeping in touch you guys! Happy motoring!
