R50/53 Any Indianapolis MINIs out?
Any Indianapolis MINIs out?
I got my mini out yesterday after shoveling the driveway/alley but today may be a different story. I am going to have to get my wifes jeep and run it up and down to pack down the snow. Only 7-8 inchs my butt...
I'm going great in my MINI in Indy! Had some fun moments (driving between Noblesville and Anderson). The front air dam acts as a plow in many places- had a couple occasions (including getting off I69) that a wave of snow crashed over the windshield. Kind of fun actually (since I never got stuck).
How much of the white stuff did you get in Indy and beyond?? I lived in Indy for several years and one day I put a snow shovel on my shoulder and headed South and the first person that asked me what that was, was in Central GA. So here I am and lovin it. My Mini doesn't even know what snow is.

I live in the middle of the city and the news said that the city got 7-8 inches of snow. There was A LOT more than 7-8 inches of snow. Cars were getting stuck all day on my streat. I shovled the driveway and alley just enough to that the mini could pass and it did. It slipped a bit but I made it out and on to the roads.
Get this... My wife, in her jeep gets stuck coming up the driveway. Its all about how you drive. This AM I used her jeep in 4 low to smash down the foot+ of snow.

Mine to, makes me laugh.
I went to Martinville to sled yesterday after 4pm... the trip down was easy. I got back to Indy about 7pm and snow was coming down quick. I got stuck in a couple in drifts... I probably toasted my clutch while I was at it. My mini handles the snow pretty good if its not rutted... otherwise :impatient Intersections are the worst.
Today, no problem... except some ruts on shadeland made for a tense moment.

Yeah, I shoveled a good foot to back out. But I think a lot of mine was just drifting... I have like a mountain of snow shoveled on either side of the drive.
I was born in Nap (444 W 38th St) until I was 10 but my MINI's in Milwaukee now. We got 10 inches off the Lake this morning. I was ALWAYS the lead dog off the stop n go's. Bye Bye SUV's.

We've had the shop closed as I can't get out of the driveway. Tried to uncover the MINI today. Will get it out tomorrow.

I'm on the NE side in the Geist area. Last night we shoveled at least 12 inches. This morning, there was about 5-6 inches back on the driveway.
I washed my MINI on Sunday because she was positively CRUSTY. She's still shiney and clean because I managed to get home before the storm--and haven't left the house since. Of course that's because they didn't plow our street until 3 this afternoon.

How bad is the snow in Indianapolis? I leave tomorrow morning for a four day stay in the city. Motorcycle Dealer Expo is at the conventopn center.
Damn, it supposed to be 80 degrees here on Friday!

. Right now, its not bad. City did a good job on the highways, but secondary roads are yay or nay. Outside Marion Co., its probably hell.I have a friend that will probably man the Fox booth at the expo.
BTW, Plainfield representin' here. And yea, I know I'm late to the thread. Spending more time on other forums these days.
