I spotted a new R56 "S" ...was infront of me at a set of traffic lights on my way to work the other day and it was red and it had H8 W8N on the number plate... pretty snazzy!

Gr8 day for me today.....was going outta work just after an induction, went to go back to my car, pressed the key to open it and it didn't work.... tried it again... finally got into my car and then my car wouldn't start.... you guessed it DEAD BATTERY! A trip to Motorline and $152.17 later I was the proud owner of a new battery! Yaaaheeey! It worked.... took us a while to lift it out and its soo compact and stuck in there and its quite heavy... my poor dad...

Got into my car tonight after work and I was like blinded by all the lights of the interior... must have reset the lights in the dash back to full bull... the funny thing is tho now I can see all my fan/ac/ dials...!!!! I can remember struggling coming home in the dark and like touching along that area to find the right buttons I wanted as I couldn't see a darn thing... turns out if I had of turned the lights up behind the dash that problem would have been solved.... and here I was thinking "Geez... for a newer MINI you'd think they'd light up the dials a bit more....!!!"

HAHAHA I feel like a a5$!

Ahh today was eventful for me to say the least....

damiond · Jul 11th, 2007, 01:08 AM

Nah, we didn't get lost this time. Was a good run. Needed a good flogging to clear it out. We seemed to all find our way there OK, even though I am from the Northside.

swamos · Jul 16th, 2007, 02:09 AM

Hope everyone had a good time.

We were all at home here busy being sick

Minipnut · Jul 16th, 2007, 07:37 AM
