Sold My First MINI (no not mine)/New Brakes & Lines for ME! - MINI Cooper Forum

GMINI · #1 (**permalink**) Mar 5th, 2004, 03:05 AM

One Pepper White Cooper, Premium Package and CVT to my good friend in Westerly Rhode Island at whose home I crash on my way up North. Showed him the website last time i was there and he called tonight to ask if the non sport suspension was more car-like than mine. um Yeah! So there he goes. Off to New Country. (couldn't get him to Peabody - too far.)

Scared me there, John! I thought you meant you sold yours!

Cool. Make sure you teach him that he has to wave. I've been getting dissed by new MINI owners lately

Funny the first 2 responses are from Virginians

Last three

I've been pretty fortunate - almost all MINI owners have been waving at me.

Title threw me off too - I thought John sold his too.

Will Edit

So Yanks know what the title means - and don't care. Virginians fear the worst and express concern. Something like that.

Thanks fellers.

It's going to be tough getting this (not me) workaholic to MOT.

Watzamatta with MINI of Fairfield County? OK, nevermind...... but we do have only a 2 month, or less waiting period on custom orders, plus a ton of cars in stock !
<[unabased plug].> whatever.

My understanding is that the next MINI dealership in NE will be in............Rhode Island
But, of course, you didn't REALLY send him to the closest dealer, now did you? Had you done so, well friends do come along now and then...you'd make another, someday

What the heck, JC? I'm liek, kinda confused now.

But I understand one phrase. where in RI will this next dealership be, and most importantly, when will it open up? Or are you just guessing???

off to waste a few clicks at miniusa.com.

to no avail. Propaganda meister.

Well, Herb, I guess I can't help you

GMINI · #12 (**permalink**) Mar 6th, 2004, 09:24 AM

Oh - I did order him NEVER to go there. But seriously - Hartford is closer to Westerly, RI, than Boston is anyway... by his book.

I'm going to bed and you're just waking my man. How the world is. 9:30am though it's rise and shine to get new pads, rotors and stainless brakelines. mmmmmm.

Nice !......what ya gettin?

Just the stocks I coulda gotten with my Service Plan 600 miles ago if I had any confidence they had any chance of meeting their replacement standards.... oh. wait. EBC Greenstuff front and Mintex rear. I've had it sworn to me, by someone with money to be made, that the stock setup has no need whatsoever for crossdrill or slotted rotors.
