Well I get my mini back on tues from the shop and just in time! My new British flag colored valve caps that I ordered have arrived in the mail along with my hot pocket. Cant wait to load her up. Also got my motoring kit and mug in the mail today. It was a MINI mail day overall.

 

Cool, I thought you were going to trade the MINI in on a saturn

 

lol nah ill give it one more whirl.

 

> lol nah ill give it one more whirl.

Excellent! Glad you're feeling better about your gorgeous little car! (said by someone who's picking up her CR/W MCS on Sunday!)

Cheers,

Leslie

 

Hooray for NYIllustrator!

You are going to be one happy motoring guy very soon!

 

>>lol nah ill give it one more whirl.

Good choice. Give it a chance, you'll love it.

 

lol nah ill give it one more whirl.

Illustrator...I've made the same statement above at least half dozen times...lol

1. Blown supercharger.....ahhhhh...it happens
2. hatch rattle......ahhhhh...minor
3. sun roof rattle.....ahhhh....maybe too much plastic in here
4. blown air compressor.....ahhhh....this is starting to get aggravating...lol
5. defective run flat...ahhhh...it happens but why alwasy to me....lol
6. Broken seat frame........ahhhhh...damn seats
7. dash rattle......ahhhh...there is too mcuh plastic in here...lol

It's a love hate relationship for sure......I did put a deposit down on the new infinity coupe which is at least 6 months away for the model I want just in case the mini continues to frustrate me....but hopefully everything has been fixed and I now have a 2003 MCS....lol

Good luck....in shop days my mini has been there over a month, mainly because of the lacks of parts because it's new....so it could be worse...lol!

 

>>lol nah ill give it one more whirl.

Way to go.....


.......it is a great car!!!

 

and the story.....continues........
good luck dude...:smile:

Peace,
D

 

Here's hoping you have as good of luck with this tranny as I've had with mine (so far). 9,600 trouble-free sMiles and counting....

Do you have a picture of this gas cap? I'd like to see what it look like.

 

This thread makes me happy!

Let's keep right on being accepting and forgiving even when someone blows their top under stress.

Exactly what I want to see for the MINI community!

When we have fires to fight, lets just put them out gently and then plant some wildflowers . . .

 

I feel a group hug coming on.......

 

where did you get the valve caps? thanks

 

not sure of the name of the site but its the same place that sells the hot pocket. Just type "hot pocket mini cooper" into yahoo and youll find it.

 

>>I feel a group hug coming on.......

I know, I'm a big dork. . .

Hey, like all the others, I'm glad you decided to stay with your Mini. I can only imagine how frustrating it was to have your trans. go down. Happy Holidays!
