New England Off Topic and Banter as Most Brilliantly Proposed by Cape Cod MINI

[GBMINI]

Number 42 for me please - of course!
House number, age next year, ultimate answer, nice binary pattern, what more should I say

How about 60 posts before I even discover this thread!

Amazing how much dirtier the back of my MINI is (which I washed this weekend) compared with Margarets half-SUV (Hyundai). The MINI designers need to come up with a way to keep its rear end clean

25 JCW kits installed at MINI Peabody. Gary tells me how recipients keep singing the praises ... is that because it is great, or because they need to justify the expense?

5hp more for the MCS next year!?

For owners who have a MINI as their main/only driver - how long before your next car? What will it be?

[GMINI]

stryker's an 02. yeah? I'm not going to your profile.

Was the yoyo/yadadyadayadayada that bad??

I hope I don't mess sumpin' up by putting in V.36.
Stryker has never been reflashed. Fingers crossed.

Steve,
Be careful with V36 ... talk long and hard with Gary first!
Still very early in the release cycle. Make sure you *really* need the fix, just in case there is some side-effect which only gets found out later (not the first time if it does happen).
GBMINI is consuming masses of gas now (down around 25mpg from 31mpg) but I cannot detect any yo-yo, stumble, bog or whatever else people are upset about - so V36 is not touching my car for a long time yet.

Call my office (978 768 6733) if you want a friendly visit/chat - only takes 20 minutes for me to pop over to MOP and we are still quiet ... the recession has not ended for our customers yet!

Thanks Gavin. If it's slow at MOP and I'm not selling any cars I may give you a jingle.

G, yes it's an '02 but no stumble or yoyo. I have a slight -and I emphasis slight- occasional hesitation at launch.

"Gavin" ???
Those British twins - can't tell them apart

[Cape Cod MINI]

Whoops. Sorry.

[MaxaMini]

OK . A check for understanding then. This then would be the place where all the best gather. Ruthie good to see you. I've been running madly all over the place to keep in touch. This way I can save writing PM to half a dozen friends and family. If they all gather here they see it.

Hey John glad to see Gene riding you to Rhode Island. I was thinking still of blowin off work and at least meet for refueling and debriefing and a ride back to CT. I found 76cents of yours in the couch. I'll save it here and put towards the MAMA dues. Big increrase this year but worth every penny. Speaking of MAMA, I just want to say aloud for all to hear. NIce Card.Whatever are you going to do next year? How you gonna keep them down on the farm after they've seen Pareee?


I think the newbie, that be me, has wandered all over other peoples threads. I can just stop in here and say Hey! Cool Beans. This makes it sooo much more simple. Simple is as Simple does. GMINI will attest to my keyboard skills. I've raised the bar to new levels. Nobody gonna touch my Search and Destroy speed. Others have only mastered the more elementary Hunt and Peck. Either way I buy White Out in aeresol cans. Speaking of White Out, I'm leaving now to join Ruthola and her now spotless Snow Snow Snow thread. I promise not to track debris all over the fresh powder. It's good to be home


With this new link I'll be better behaved. No less baffling though eh Ice. BTW I need a number for changing the door oval to Bubinga or Coccabola. The entire piece that forms the storage bin and door pull. Want not to duplicate your effort on Bsy Bee. It should remain unique. You know I posted a piccy of your interior in response to a post over at the other place if you kNow whAt I meaN. Theere were some nice things being said about your work. Just thought you'd like to know. Would you consider doing the woik, I have a fair piece of wood already to go. Not enought for both sides. Commission one. I understand it won't be cheap and no hurry either. Let me know. Hi Scarlet

John GMINI sought shelter from the storm Sunday night, and in his best pirate voice cursed the Schagwongg for misplacing his keys. They had fallen from his pocket and were later found in the newly accumulated snow. Good timing. Can't imagine lost keys as well as all else that was to unfold. Can't wait to see the new you. Seems that piccy above was last one taken of original issue. KoolMini got his back early. Yours is on the way.

If your paying out of pocket for the rental. Here's a plan man. I still have the issue with no access to passenger like your driver door. Unresolved by service. Gotta bring it back in. There gonna give me a loaner. You want it? I could drag it out a week. That would be so cool to have it work out. My passenger door is OOC even after a day at shop. They did remount the front dam that we ripped off the bottom of Maxamini in the corn or was it the sidewalk.

Did our run to work yesterday. Same route we took . Was thinking what a great morning that was. The Wiggly Woods and then the long straight. The rain has softened the shoulders of the snow banks so I drift right and throw up rooster tails of corn snow.

[GMINI]

Yeah? Great.

Jeeze. I have to get to work...

I want my morning back!!!!

Thanks to you and Mart once more for lodging me and my sightless MiNI. We had FUN!

[MaxaMini]

Check it out. Was that the best day to wring it out not knowing what was next. It's like we knew. Just do it. And that ride up #84 outta New Country. Zoom Zoom. I know you don't like Highways but if you gotta you gotta and that's the way to do it.

Over and Out!

P.S. I located the matching rears to those matts.

[GMINI]

Oh no. Another matts run....

Screw you

when Mart in going to work this AM says" All that over free mats" I think they are gonna cost you big time>

What do you think of the plan to scam a loaner from Newe Country while they figure out my door. I don't need a car since once at work I'm locked down for 12 hours.

I could get the loaner day one.
Take their shuttle home back to dealer.
In the mean time you have the loaner.

You're thinking now I'm stuck in Hartford
No way.. I'm thinkin out loud here. SHHH! you say.
next to MINI is Matr's Mazda which she dropped off.
You have the loaner,
I drive home from mazda oil change

I think this is a gonna woik.

[Bisch]

I got scroll dizzy. Did anyone choose #24? If not, I'm 24.

P.S. Steve, just drop by with the chips, save freight.

[MaxaMini]

If you want my number 100.ooo available? If you gotta ask. It is my age.

Any other members of the Walker Brigade? The only stumble I worry about is makin' it to the stairs. Yo Yo. MAMA.

[GMINI]

How many days of loaner for all that trouble??? I am a little confused. Would I still get the all-important rear matts???

[ice]

Sounds like a Mission Impossible episode.
