  1. Cooper Vineyard MINI Rally!

    in Events

    Posted

    Ah...yes. I remember that now. I clearly remember the traffic jam, and the detour. I just forgot that it was on the way to Cooper Vinyards.

     

    I think I'll pass on trying to get to Richmond. "Washington Center, ... requesting clearance direct to Cooper Vinyards!"

     

    Thanks for the reminder Craig!

  5. Memorial Day/Yellow Ribbon Run

    in Events

    Posted

    I realized that right after I hit "send". LOL... You know, this might be a good time (when we stop for lumch) to try out those new bug repellant gadgets that you hang on your belt that I've seen advertised. I'm wondering if they really work!

     

    If they do, then maybe I'll put one on the front bumper too! :)

  7. WTB Winter Wheels / Tires

    in MINI Related

    I would check with your dealer, but I believe the TPMS system will work with your winter wheels. The way you can fix the TPMS system is by resetting it with the new wheels and then driving for a couple of miles. This is because the Cooper TPMS system is an Indirect TPMS.

     

    There is a sensor that monitors the RPM of each wheel. When one wheel loses enough pressure the circumference is reduced and that wheel will spin faster and therefore triggers the warning light. The reset feature starts the measurement all over again the next time you drive the car and basically resets all 4 wheels.

     

    Because it does not use a direct pressure sensor, it should (theoretically) work with any wheel/tire combination provided all 4 are the same size.

  14. Recommended Non-Dealer for Early Oil Change?

    in Maintenance & Modifications

    Posted

    I pay this same amount for synthetic oil & filter for my 4WD SUV (which usually cost more to remove skid plates, etc). When I took our MINI into PMoA for our 1st annual maintenance plus Oil Change PLUS VA state inspection. Total bill: $0.00!!! I was shocked.

     

    So, if you bought your MINI from PMoA, I've found their service exceptional over the past year. Our MINI is 1 year old this month.

  21. Wednesday AM departure group

    in MOTD 8 (2010)

    FYI - there's a downside to doing that... the Calendar and Events forum are both public, so your phone numbers would be visible to the entire Internet if you put them in your RSVP.

     

    Perhaps a group PM would be a better alternative?

    Thanks! Forgot about that. I"ve updated both messages and will send the group PM.

    Better request for sharing cell numbers

    I just updated the RSVP for the Wed. departure group again. Edge had a good point that everyone could see this. I forgot you didn't need to be logged in. I'll send a group PM that each of us can reply to with a cell number.
