Took Yuko in for 1 year oil change and to get the rattles fixed.

One rattle fixed.
2nd rattle needs an ENTIRE steering column, which needs to be ordered from corp or something.


AND as a kicker... they screwed up my oil change and I left a 10 mile long trail of oil in my wake. I was wondering why the BMW behind me kept hitting his wipers.

*sigh* looks like i'll have to flat bed her to the dealer tomorrow morning.

sorry to see the MINI gone, but that's not a bad replacement.

A little more than a year later.

Haven't posted here in quite a while, but we have been busy with Penfold none the less. Here is what he is looking like these days.

Hope everyone is out motoring on this long weekend.

Thanks, guys.

Adam, I soon will have a photo of it in front of Autzen to illustrate what the Bump wheel looks like. I did buy them from you. Unless you got one already.

HI GANG!

I am so sorry to have been offline for so long. Matt is on cruise with the US Navy around South America, I'm here in San Diego CA.

Still looking for work, still loving Mystique! She got a tiny scratch on her, 3 places, and one is "deeper" into the quarter panel in transport with US Navy from Naples...dealing with that right now...

How is everyone?

REALLY active with WCM, west coast minis, the enthusiast club here in Southern San Diego region.

Will post photos soon. We went to AMVIV 6, back in Vegas.

Loving Life, Missing my Man, he'll be back in late October.
Take care, promise to be poking around more often again.

Keep in touch
Rebecca and Matt

IF YOU SUCCESSFULLY DO THAT, please let us know.
Matt is simply dying to transform everything orange in the car to blue...

i know it can be done, but, as I don't have my mini anymore, I probably won't figure it out...

Hi guys!

Rebecca and Matt and Mystique checking in again.
Will post pictures of Mystique dressed like SUPERMAN for the Borrego Springs CA. Halloween parade

Busy with WEST COAST MINI CLUB, drive on twisty roads in san diego.

Registered for our 2nd trip to AMVIV, A mini vacation in vegas, our 2nd time, but the 7TH Annual.

Should be fun. Matt still busy with navy thing, I am still UNEMPLOYED.
We are dirt poor but can always manage to afford high quality fuel for car rides....

Take care, and Remember, if you didnt get your GRILL BADGE--Aesthetic creations STILL HAS SOME IN STOCK. I see him from time to time and he chews me out that we asked him to make 15 of them, but he only sold like 9.
SO, its not tooooo late....Aestheticcreations.net, google it, and ask for the WEEK 23 08 badge.....

HUGS TO ALL
Rebecca Matt Mystique.
Photos to follow.

Whats up all!!! Everyone still driving their Mini's? Milton and I are doing fine! We got into a crack up (rear ended and then squished) about 3 months ago....but everyone is healthy now! Think we had a 10k hospital bill for Milton, but he protected me from harm!

Hi all,
I hope everyone has the same Psychic buzz and checks back in...We should be creeping dangerously close to 30,000 miles- which means we must investigate extended warranties, and convince our dealerships to help with last minute fixes...Will report back soon...Hugs.
PS Have a wonderful job with Family services with the navy.
YAAA

23500 miles here and Nugget is the best! I love driving every single day.
coming up on 2 years next month. wow that went faster then the 7 week waiting period.

Euseys glad you are enjoying your new job!
Krim I got snow tires this past winter, and glad I did but didn't get to use them much as she was snow in the garage most of the terrible winter we had here.
hope everyone else still has their MINI's and enjoying them.
