She's going to get even happier, just got the call that they might send someone up today to take her to get fixed. Which means I'll probably be back in the yellow submarine

 

Oh you Americans and your politics! We Canadians just don't get it up here....why all the bruhaahaa...we barely know who our Prime Minister is....we base our voting choices to the candidate with the longest last name...yup...they get our votes!

 

Do you mean Hillary?

 

Let's dunt(tm) inject anything political here folks. The mods will lock our thread if you do.

Let's get back to the hot wax, Kitty's dog fetish, rooandren's naked music, carjoy's self-inflected whip woounds. dennisd's terrified wheels, and other pertinent nonsense which makes the cult go round.

 

A thousand apologies Skuzz. We are forever humbled..... We promise to remain in our ignorant bliss from now on. Content with just knowing we fight the good fight against Lint and we drive the best looking MINIs on the road!

 

It's one of those eggshell things. I hate the sound they make when you walk on them. Like cockroaches being mashed. Yuck!

 

unless you have your ugly winter rims on...which are black...which I refuse to take pics of!

 

My goggles have a gold colored frame. I have seen black rim horns and they do look a bit odd. It's a twenties thing. Not sure they have made a comeback.

 

goggles? beer or ski?

 

I got nothing here!

 

geeze, there's secret service up on the roof next door now. i hope they have a clear view through the trees of Rosey to keep the nose pushers off her windows

 

goggles = glasses in Skuz's world

 

Ahhhh... Things are falling into place now! Scary thought...

 

<munch> <munch> <sluuuuurrp>

 

Dennis, you are SUCH a conversationalist!!! Riveting!

 

Start the nerves again- Rosey's going to be in the hands of strangers. they're on their way to pick her up. I'm really hoping they're trucking a mini down here for me and trucking rosey back and not just driving something down. eeeeeek not even 400 miles on her and a stranger is getting their mitts on her. I hope she doesn't revert back to her slutty ways.

 

<searching the cushions for the remote...wondering if this is on another channel in another time zone!>

 

So can I go into 7-11 and mix up my slurpee flavors so I could something like a Mai Tai!!!

 

Long Island Iced Slurpee, that's what Ima 'bout ready for.

 

That'll do too!!!

 

I wonder if they have Moonshine flavor with a little bit of "face-down-on-a-road"

 

Ah, yes, a favorite around these parts too.

 

Well, the inevitable happened...insurance wasn't willing to come anywhere close to MINI's labor rates. When asked to estimate how much it would cost out of pocket to make up the difference, we were told $1300

We were recommended to the bodyshop that MINI ends up sending most of the cars to though, our guy says they're highly recommended and his MINI has been there! I got a recommendation for the place though work too, so that's what'll happen.

So I have an honest question, though a stupid one. (I've never had a nice new car and barely know anybody who has!) Who ever gets work done by the dealer if insurance won't pay for it?!? I can comprehend how it works with maintenance, it's what you're willing to pay for, but for collision and comprehensive, is it really always the story that people lay out hug extra money or what?

 

Yep...basically you get what you pay for. If someone charges good money for work, their shop is well laid out, and they have good equipment and tools, you know that they are going to use good parts and good supplies....and then the repair will be solid too! After all, this is one solid little car!

 

I have not had enough coffee yet to comprehend the query. Er,.if there was one.
