Re: What is Minis at the Market? Sunday, Oct. 16th, 10th ann

Sweet. The Roasterie has a nice parking area so this should be a good setup. Much easier than fussing with getting in and out of the Market.

Re: Black Out Project (UPDATE)

Let me know what you think of the door handle covers. I'm curious if they feel cheap or not when on the car.

Which beltline kit did you get?

Re: Black Out Project

Looks good. I'd look at using wrap vs. plastidip. Duell AG use the Justa grill in black for their vehicles. Has a different look than the typical S/JCW. The kit isn't my style (nor the tire lettering, which I can't stand), but here is an example: https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8027/7410323772_f6286de...

Re: Thnking of getting back in....

The only bad things I've heard about the ALL4 is when it's paired with the manual transmission, especially the first few years they were out. So in this case, I think the auto is a more reliable option. My wife has a 2014 Countryman S FWD and we've not had issues. Then again, it only has 30k on it, ...

Normally I'd vote the 13's all day long. But I think I prefer the 10's on yours. As mentioned above, the color looks better.

Re: A Nice Sunday Drive

Very cool. I went down for the revival last year and had a good time, despite the muddy drive required to get back to the track as a spectator. I imagine that was a blast in Buzz.

Picked up some 225/50 17 Continental DWS. Yay for safety. Boo for having to spend money on my wife's car and not mine. :)

Well I feel stupid.

As some of you may know, we bought 2 MINIs last year. A 2012 S hardtop and a 2014 S Countryman. On the latter, you think I'd have given even a passing thought to the OEM tires. I mean, clearly an automatic, FWD vehicle with the cold-weather package would have all-seasons on it right? Yea, not so muc...

I can't attend, but am curious to know the route if you could shoot that over to me. Always looking for local drive options I haven't done a bunch already.

Re: Lake Garnett Grand Prix Revival - 11 Oct 2014

I dropped by this today. Nice turnout with some pretty rare vehicles for the area. The track looks nice as well. My only complaint is that as a guest getting to the track was a long winding trail of dirt and gravel.

You should just buy this one and trade me the wheels off it.* http://www.baronmini.com/VehicleDetails ... 2321970323
