Fill in your location so we can see where your at!

 

Even though I am in it (the guy in front of the pepper white mini) Here is a Pic from this past summer on that road to Markleyville CA...see that twisty...there are tons of em and oh...what a sky 6000 ft up. This is where my GPS was out of it! It was about 100 degrees here and 112 in the valley!

In the second one, we found markleyville and were running towards the only restaurant....the town woke up I guess...remember this land grows Pickups!

I have not gotten to drive any real twistys just yet, but that day is coming! I have patience! Some....
I have come up with a new name for the MINI..... are you ready for this one......
Are you sure?

It is the Swiss Army Car.
I have to work on the graphics for that one!

HaHa Now to find a Swiss Army Dealer

Filters are due tomorrow...Buying some More Mobile One today...I decided since I NEVER exceed 5000 mi before a change,...I am sure Mobile One will be just fine! Besides, My MCS would look funny in a Neru jacket! Also will install the Fumato while I am at it.....NOW TO LOCATE THAT GARAGE HEATER...or all bets are off until it warms up a little!

 

I am located in the little town of Gaithersburg, MD. Just a few (18) miles north of the thriving political capital of DC.

Would be good to go to user control panel (on the forum board...left side) and fill in what you wish...That way it will apear each time you post...(in the upper right side of your post) Being the lazy type, I just did it myself after being here since last March (was reminded when the other poster asked where you were!.....Just a suggestion...

Regards
Jeff

 

I will check it out!
Thanks

Did you find the heater and get the oil changed out... Do you get your filters from the dealer?

Hi Ed.
Nope...the heater must be up in the attic loft (great planning)
Filters came in (OEM filters from Moss Mini) along with the purchase of the Mobile One the other day. No rush since I do not really drive the Mini in winter anyway and I am not quite at 5000 miles yet...Have done changes a few times before...No biggie at all! It really wouldn't matter if I exceeded the 5000mi by a few anyway in a pinch...just my own regimen. Ya don't save any $$ on filters but I would rather support Moss than my dealership...again, they have oem filters and I was ordering some stuff anyway

Had already flushed out the brown gunk from the Cooling system (which Mini says is normal...BULL) with a Vacufill fill machine (got the radiator, block and heater core without disconnecting the lower hose either...3 fresh water flushes before it turned clear so I could add the 50/50 Coolant/distilled h20 mix using Mini coolant (wierd stuff)!)...

I think that was more important since the corrosion inhibitors had begun to break down after a little less than 3 years...Mini refused to honor or even locate the TSB about brown coolant issue so I sent them an invoice from another NAMER (mentioning that TSB)...NO RESPONSE which I did not expect anyway

While I was at it I picked up a set of Lens protectors from Moss Mini ($39) I have Xenons and this stuff is really thick...also an easy application...except it also comes with protectors for the parking lights and fogs which are tough to squeegee out the water from (big squeegee...small lenses)....also came with another set of larger than the parking light protectors that I have no idea what to do with...Like a clear bra for your lights! THICK 3M stuff!

I just wanted to wish all of you on this thread a very Merry Christmas!

Motor On

Thanks for the info on Moss. I will be ordering their oil valve and some other cool stuff.
I am getting ready to do an oil change to clear out the initial oil and stuff and get started with the RedLine.

Have a wonderful holiday and we will talk later!
