    Yeah I heard the radio heckling as you all went by. When you have bright orange mirrors and rally lights I don't think the ranger believed that I lost track of my speed.

     

    I may have once told a cop that I didn't see my speedometer :motor::top:

    1 mile an hour under wreckless, thank you mini for the 3 mph buffer on the speedo. First ticket in 10 years. 35 is really slow especially on the downhills.

     

    We saw you when we were going back up and we were all curious about it. Go big or go home!

    Drive it like you stole it ;)....just kidding....but no, really though.

     

    You bet I will!!!! I always abuse... I mean... Make sure to treat loaners... Like they should be driven. I think I've named this one Sylvester. Charlie is the chili red Clubman. Ali will be so proud of me!!

  14. What did you do to your Mini today?

    I've owned several VWs, to include the GTI and Golf R. And if you read the forums, you'll find that there's the same love/hate relationship as with MINI folks. The common thread is, the ones having issues are the ones modding the crap out of their cars. That's also a reason I shy away from used cars. At least with a new one, I know what's been tinkered with (nothing).

     

    IMO if you go VW, save some $$ and get a GTI over an R. Especially buying used. I think my Golf R was one of the rarest out there, because it had exactly zero mods. Even the tires were stock/original when I sold it.

     

    Why can't you go 'basic' like a Honda? Too boring for you? I've found that with cars - or most things in life - the reliable (or 'safe') choices are typically the boring choices :wink:

     

    You sold your Golf R?! When did that happen?!!!! Believe it or not, most of my mods are suspension. I obviously also have pink mirror caps and stickers, which definitely don't cause timing chain issues, check engine lights, and any other stupid problems my car has had in the last three months :(

     

    Hondas have never done anything for me other than annoy the crap out of me. I dislike them.

    Lucy's heading back to Dr. Passport tomorrow (don't even get me started :banghead:). If I get Charlie the peppy red Clubman loaner, I'm in. If I get a Countryman or Paceman, I will be a maybe. If I get a non MINI, run far away from me. Sigh.
