Thnking of getting back in....
Hello All, After five plus years away from Mini Alicia (and I) want back in, eyeing a 2012 Countryman S AWD with right under 18K miles.

Re: Need Help shrooms!
Like Dave said get a hammer and a 2x4 and go to town, that's what i did and the first few blows you think your hitting it way to hard then you put the plate on and realize you did not even make a dent in it so calculated whacks are what it takes . They honestly don't look that bad from the picture, ...
