I just love your MINI, and his name!!!! Too damned cute...
what is r-145-a (or whatever)???
Thanks
Sorry, I should have looked up the real name instead of trying to remember.
Here's a picture of the R-134a coolant that I used.
It's very easy to do, so long as you have the one with a gage & read the instructions. It took me about 15minutes to charge the system & it's been running great & cold, even in this heat.
Speaking of heat.
I park in a covered garage & when I got to Butters yesterday after work, this is what I see when I start him up......103 In Indiana!?!?!?

She took me on my 2nd rally with C3M (Central Maryland Mini Motorists)!! Met up in Hanover, Md., wended our way towards Annapolis. Stopped at the beautiful WWII Memorial near the Naval Acadamy, then picnicked and grilled at gorgeous Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis!!
Thanks, Giggles, for opening up a whole new, wonderful world to me
Those are the days I long for. I have to wait til my CM arrives. Would feel out of place driving my extremely uncomfortable Saturn Aura at MINI Rallys Then we have to decide which club(s) to join. .
Second that Giggles, that was a great run, the only thing that spoiled it was the steel blast-furnace type heat we had. You arent supposed to sweat that much just standing there. And it sure was fun watching "Stickers" drool all over that little Target Cars 2 gift set. Man, did she want that bad.
Our MINI (yet to be named) is sitting in the OL under the category of On order. Anxiously awaiting the next step. Because of the color, (LC) it might take a bit longer to build. We are thinking of naming it smiley or (not to plagerize giggles) smilesmcmini. We'll see.

LOVE it!! I was going to name her "Kate" for the new princess, but I found that every timeI either looked at a pic of her or dat and drove in her, I just giggled and grinned from ear to ear(known as the permagrin on this site).
Smilesmcmini is AWESOME!! So excited for you!! You need to drive her to meet us, when she arrives. We could meet halfway in PA!! Lets break bread and all praise the MINI!!! ...Im 100% serious!
we will definitely take you up on your offer. My wife came up with another drivingmsmini.
LOVE it!!!! As the time draws near, message me, and we can exchange info. My husband and I look forward to it!! This car has opened up a whole new world to us. It will do the same for you.
On the turnpike this morning around exit 7 going northbound there was a tire assambily sitting in the road.
Thanks to the mini I was able to swerve out of the way and back with just some protesting out of the tires
Yup, the tight responsiveness of this little car has handily gotten me out of potentially bad situations, thqt my former vehicle(grand cherokee) could not have!
Ok you guys are gonna think this is silly but my MINI Stellar got my Starbucks drink ready for me today! I go there so much that when they see Stellar drive up, they get my drink ready! Hey! It pays to be unique!

Because she knows how much I LOVE my MINI, my friend and partner in our jewelry creating business, designed and made me a "I (heart) My Mini" bracelet. Done with beautiful Swarovski crystals, sterling clasp and sweet silver round letter beads. From the observer it looks like a very pretty silver and crystal bracelet, but I know what it signifies. She made it in my Clubman's colors!! She combined tiny black hematite beads (my roof color) with denim crystals (horizon blue!). If interested I can email a pic of it. She can fashion it in almost any color!! It is soooooo cute!!
She managed to stay dry inside after I left the sunroof popped during an evening thunderstorm. So I guess technically that was something she did for me yesterday.
