  1. I’ve got to ask Mark and see if he wants to. My MINI is all bundled for winter. If we come I’ll be in the Audi and Mark would bring a MINI. I know the rule non MINIs in the back

    Mark said it sounds fun

     

     where are you planning to start?

  2. I enjoy a lot of the roads around the Dragon just as much and sometimes more than the actual Dragon. You want to avoid the Dragon on weekends, it's crowded and full of police looking to raise funds. Hellbender is a really fun swoopy road between the Dragon and Fontana Village

    A really fun place to do photos is the top of the dam at Lake Fontana. There's rarely anyone up there and if the top is open you can park your car on the road that drives over the dam and get some awesome shots.

    There are scenic overlooks all over the area.

    Food options aren't great around there but if you have time to kill and don't care about good service Tapoco is nice because it's on a river and a really enjoyable location. The pizza is pretty good and the drinks are really good.

     

  3. Wahhhhhhh I took Tigger out for a fun day on Friday and as I was almost home everytime I stopped the oil light would go on. Then as soon as I was moving it would go out.

     

    I got him home and later checked the oil, it was a little low. Mark topped it off but said it wasn't even a full quart low. Then he drove him again and as soon as he was warm the light came on.

     

    I called PTuning, they said don't drive him and bring him in. Soooo I'm waiting for AAA now to get him. PTuning thinks it might be the oil pressure pump, I hope it's not anything serious

    Hi! Does anyone know of a good secondary market for a FOB replacement? The Mini dealer in Alexandria said it would be roughly $500...which is steep. Thanks!

    My experience has been to just pay them. Even if you find a cheaper fob, you have to have them code it so you won't save much if anything.

  5.  PTuning totally hooked me up with Trickle charging for Dummies. They set up a trickle charger in the boot with an adapter. It's basically plug and play. I plug the trickle charger to the house and run the wire to the boot. The big thing to figure out now is if I can lock up the car or not. I may just bungie the boot closed. It's unlikely anyone will try to steal him since he's a stick shift and there's nothing of value left in the car.
