Did you get your Visa stamped and your passport checked for the border crossing

Congrats it looks fabulous. The MINI will be very happy in that living room

When's the house warming?

Well done, you will love this side of town.

Bugger Goodberry's, Fekerte's is sensational, as is Bollywood Masala, not to mention the Dickson Asian Noodle House.

Dinner at Tiaan's place!

Well done Mr Tiaan, looks fab

Tit · Jul 8th, 2005, 05:32 AM

nnonononoo....

it's part of the 'city area' - not the northside...

you'll never get me...NEVERRRRRRR!!!

Thanks everyone....

dinner at my place when I get back in Aug...

(I'm not cooking...

)

(moving in with a mate...is the answer to your question Kyle)
(Secure parking below the apartment Liam)

And yes.....I don't think I will cook a single meal in the next 18 months!!

The people that own it are moving to Japan, and the husband worked from home, and the wife was at uni and worked at Bollywood !!!! - can't get much closer to work than that!!!!

He said he didn't even know why he owned a car....

minigolf · Jul 8th, 2005, 07:07 AM

Does this mean we can discounts at Bollywood?

Yummy, yummy, Indian in my tummy!

News from our local purveyor of new and used MINI vehicles, and parts, and accessories:

Rob tells us they are moving the MINI franchise across the road to it's own yard and showroom. Waiting approval for banners and waiting for the painters. Should move on, or about, 19th.

The number plate protectors that we ordered on the day the TUX wagon was delivered have finally arrived in stock. The wrong ones. We asked for one standard and one ACT slimline. What arrived was for NSW plates. What about you Liam? How did you go?

Also Salesman Michael is returning to the big choke up the Hume. We didn't speak to him, as he was busy.

Then it was on to the parts department. No

we couldn't see an accessories book in the first instance, but yes

they have the front mudflaps in stock, but no

the printer is broken so the instructions were not availabe, and yes

we can have the net thing for the boot, but no

there isn't one in stock and yes

we have to pay in full at time of order and no

, it wasn't a great retail experience.

I have easily found the fitting instructions for the mudflaps on MINI2.com. I have to drill!

For those in warmer climes, it is cold and gusty here with occasional showers and forecast temperatures of 5 deg to a top of 9 degrees. Day trip to the snow tomorrow.. should be interesting.

It's fairly easy to do - the drilling is a lot less painful than it sounds. Hardest part is jacking the car up (if you were never supplied with a jack that is

)

Kerrie,
In relation to your question:

So who has the BRG with the JCW? Guran, the yellow stands out like the proverbial... kudos amongst the reds, blues and greens

Looks like I missed some fun

Tim, the wheels will be back soon

So there you have it. Nuff said....

minigolf · Jul 9th, 2005, 08:14 AM

I forgot to check for the number plate covers today Kyle, but I'm guessing if we ordered the same thing on the same day that I'll probably have similar results to you.

Hey, I hope we get invites to the grand opening of the new MINI showroom!

minigolf · Jul 9th, 2005, 08:33 AM

A couple of months ago I learnt what it was like to take the MINI on a skidpan, well today I discovered all about taking the Subie onto a mudpan! I've got some more pics to download off my phone too. But this is what happens when you keep going on Brindabella Rd!

no need to jack it up... if i recall, i just put 'er in full lock in each direction

i didn't use the provided screw-things... got some short flatheads from bunnings

15 minutes tops!

wouldn't have helped Liam in the Subie though

Yep, that'd do it - using a screw instead of drilling that is.

The only reason I had to take the tyres off was because there was not enough room to fit the cordless drill under the wheel arch.

AndrewH · Jul 10th, 2005, 08:51 AM

6 hours of fun in the forest =

Seeing the Cotter Dam from the other side and reaching the summit of Mt Mcdonald were highlights - apart from the fun in the skid pan that is
