Re: Planning a group drive. Got any pointers?

Here are a couple of pointers from drives I've lead and drives I've been in. 1. you drive the route many times to make sure you are familar with it 2. get a 2nd "leader" and position them in the middle of the pack - helps if the group gets spread out 3. do the following - if you can't see ...

goodbye old friend

So, a little over 9 years ago,(April 5, 2004 to be exact) Matti the Mini came into my life. We've had lots of adventures together. Been to the Dragon 4 times (3 with MINI's on the Dragon). Countless MINI club meets. Drives to here and there. Twisties galore! I had several mod's done to her, 15% redu...

Re: Our Next Garage Day

As always - thanks to all the more knowledgable people that help make these a success! As Dave mentioned, I did a complete brake job including a fluid flush. Not so scary now that I've done it once. I would feel comfortable doing it again. If you've not attended a garage day, even if you don't want ...

I'm very interested in this as my brake wear sensor light came on last week. I've got a complete set of pads and rotors being delivered this week. I'm also in need of a brake fluid flush (fluid arriving as well). In the very near future I need a power steering fluid change Don't know if this is too ...

Mobile device request -iPhone droid etc

Any chance of adding a plugin like forum runner so mobile devices like iPhones, droids, etc can access easier then via Internet? I belong to a photography forum that uses forum runner and it's very nice to browse, post, etc.

Re: 100,000 mile club

Too funny. Matti did it yesterday as well! Motor mounts, radiator, and computer are the non maintenance items for me. I passed 100k on the trip back from Nashville. Happened right after crossing the Missouri river outside Columbia.

I'll add a pic later. Cant upload from my iPad.

Brake time

ok, 97000 and time for new brakes and some other maintenance. I remember Mini Dave mentioning that you could get a good deal on rotors from OReilly. Also Davester mentioned some other brake pads, but I don't remember what they were. I've not gone down to the wear indicator yet, is it recommended to ...

Re: Tour de Donut, Saturday November 20th

once I recover from my sugar induced coma - and my color perception returns to normal, I'll post some of the images that I took.

again, Thanks Johnna for organizing the drive and having prizes to hand out!

I put away 6 donuts and I don't think I want to see another one for at least 24 hours!
