What did your MINI do for YOU today?
#176
Well, I'll be damned...
Been contemplating on most likely changing out my 16"chrome alloy wheels and RF's for 17" Gloss black wheels and a more winter worthy tire. Was told repeatedly at dealership that because I have RF's I don't need a spare tire. I figured I'd need to buy a spare and the kit required to keep it in the boot of my Clubman. On a whim we decided to open up the back and take everything out. Huh, if we don't have a spare why is there a jack in here? On a whim we lifted that whole level out...and....wait for it....THERE'S A SPARE TIRE IN MY MINI!!!
WOOOHOOOO She just saved me a lot of money Now I'm going for it!!!!!!!
2010 HzB Clubgirl, fairly loaded, much loved

She's very picky about stuff that plays on the radio. She likes Black Eyed Peas, "It's gonna be a good night". It's gotta be upbeat stuff, but she really LOVES Mozart!! Can't find my other classical cd's since we moved to Maryland. Going to have to purchase Tchaikovsky and Valkyries...thanks for the suggestions!! :->

Yesterday took delivery of our CM in the rain even though had a big smile on both of our faces. Took her out today enjoyed every minute. We both have Jello pudding smiles on our faces (LOL) We are enjoying the Srius/XM radio to the fullest. Pics are coming, just need that sun to come out and put a smile on our CM. I don't like depressing pictures.

Also, understand that it is perfectly NORMAL to go look at her numerous times. Hopefully you have her in a garage so your neighbors don't notice this odd quirk. After 8 months of ownership i STILL do this. At work I try to park her just outside the window of my lobby where I work so I just have to glance up, see her...PERMAGRIN so happy for you guys!:thumbsup

Neighbor came over and stated "nice oversized lawnmower" I opened the drivers door and he proceeded to sit inside and changed his tune. For a small car this is alot bigger than I expected. He loved the design, layout and quality. He now gets it. Only thing I didn't do was let him take our MINI for a ride. Took pics but I have to wait for the sun to come out to give everyone the real colors.

That was a bad day. First a Countryman whacked a deer, think everybodys okay but that was a scare, then Steve hit a pothole and deployed all the pass side curtain bags and bent his upper rear locator rod, cambering the rear wheel in majorly. And it looks like the front tire has sidewall damage, that'll be a goner too. The insurance adjusters are gonna be busy :(
Not a great day, but everybody walked away so thank Heaven for favours and grace.

No, about 5 mts into the 2nd half (after a nice lunch) the deer strike happened. Driver shaken, but ok, went home. Got saome awesome twisties in before the lead hit a nasty pothole. He drove a little more, only to realize there was more damage than he though
All unfortunate, unforseeable miss haps. This run had been rescheduled as it was originally cancelled due to hurricane Irene...
