Friday Meet sometime?

Would anyone want to have a friday meet? I would love to meet everyone on here however I have noticed that many of the meets are on saturdays or sundays. I work both days all day.

This is a feeler to see if anyone would want to do something. Thank you all!

Re: R's.

they also have a rev limiter somewhere up there. if you hit that then you know youve gone too high. most engines are designed to be able to handle hitting the rev limiter pretty hard.

Need Help shrooms!

I am a 3rd year automotive student however I have never dealt with something like the shrooming issue on a MINI. My car has significant shrooming on both driver and passenger sides.

Re: Service Contract Question

let me ask you this. A clutch is how much $1600? A/C compressor $1200ish etc. now what happens if nothing warranty related happens in those 2 years? you just lost $1400 for nothing. now if you just save that money and take it the car to a good specialty shop you will probably save a lot of money.

Re: MiniDoMore Hitch Install

the only other good option for the earlier minis is the MINI Fini system, that is if your are willing to spend close to $600 :(

Re: October 10th gathering, BBQ Shack in Paola

New here having just bought my first MINI and not met anyone yet. I unfortunately will not be able to attend as I am working all weekend. if only it were on a friday I'd be all for it. I hope to join one of the next meetings and meet some of you all.
