I think you and Cambo should cross paths. He's definitely into modding (and by his videos he could use another set of hands :-))
-
just start talking MINIs, he'll go on about his car :top:
Isn't that the case for all of us? :lol:

Best greeting card ever!!! :top:

Happy Holidays to all!

Got a wave from a blue MINI (hyper?) with a handicapped hangtag as I was leaving Liberty this afternoon approx 4PM. Probably not one of us that far north, but heck, Cambo and I were that "far north" just yesterday, so who knows :-))

Great job everyone - I can't wait to see how much the final donation total comes to this year. :rock:
Ditto. Another enjoyable MTTB event. Sorry I couldn't stay for lunch to extend the fun.

Some people were showing this off on FB and sent me the link to buy it. They assured me that even though it says for a Clubman it will fit any modern MINI

It looks so cool, I had to order one
Not arrived yet?

Do/will you provide minutes for those who can't attend but want to be "demystified"? :-)

That's the same thing, better picture
Ah. As there is no circle in the one in the eBay picture I thought it a notch different.
When is your item due to arrive?

Check in NAM. It replaces the puddle light in the door.
Here's another kind:

Yep, way cool. Let us know how it works out - I might get one too! :top:
Ditto. I'm interested in seeing it in operation. Do advise. TIA.

Ok. Let's try this again. The link works outside of TT:
I would upload a pic but I'm getting an error on that function via TT.

$900 for all four isn't half bad... Have a model number handy? I work with a buddy of mine in Silver Spring to install everything, so it's always an adventure putting new toys on the old girl lol. The sway bar will definitely be first, just because I've heard such awesome things about what it does for our handling, and I want to make sure I've had plenty of time to break in the bushings before MoTD comes around. Thanks for all the advice!
Link to coilovers for what I bought for my *Clubbie* is already in a post below.

What did you pay for the h&R's? I'm looking to be under 1500 bucks for my entire suspension setup (springs,dampers,sway,control arms,front camber) so I don't have a ton of room for holy expensive coilovers unfortunately
$900 for the set of four. But your challenge and additional cost is going to be on installation. Contrary to their advertising my installer didn't know what they were doing (another story for another place time). However the sway bar might be your first upgrade, that was primary for my Clubman as recommended by other Clubbie owners. I had budgeted for both and didn't have all of the work done until a year after I'd bought my MINI.

I don't do AX either, but die to my driving style my back end kept skipping out. I had the sway bar and coilovers installed the week before I went to MOTD. I needed them here and I REALLY needed them there.

-
have you thought about coilovers?
I have H&R coilovers and my rears dropped below what's advertised. How much drop are you looking for?

why why would you do such a cruel thing to us
DITTO!

You mean because it's not orange?

Hi all, first time post for me. I'm thinking of getting a little guy travel trailer (http://www.golittleguy.com) and have been looking at 3 different tow hitches: Mini Fini (http://www.minifini.com), Mini Do More (http://www.minidomore.com) and Curt (http://www.curtmfg.com).
I'm curious if anybody has any of these hitches? If so, any thoughts?
Reading on NAM, the Curt is a direct knockoff of the Mini Do More but substantially cheaper than the MDM.
The Mini Fini is the cadillac (or Goodwood) of the bunch but also seems the easiest to use.
I'm also looking for an installer in the area for whichever I choose to buy.
Any thoughts?
I have the MINIDoMore which the Curt is a reverse-engineered copy of. The only negatives I've actually heard about the Curt is that a) it's a copy and b) the listed capacities are too high, but I haven't heard of a Curt failing within their specs.
I didn't care for the MINIFini as I already had a few tow hitch items from previous vehicles and I didn't want to have to get adaptors and what not.
BTW, I had a Clubman. I didn't look to see what type of MINI you have. If you search the forum there is a thread or two on this subject including those who have had a tow hitch installed.
-
Yep, we'll have T-shirts this year. There should be something posted in the near future about them. Once again, our favorite MINI artist has done a great job with a design and I think folks will really like them.
And stickers/clings?

Someone finally got his jcw aero kit installed

So now I'm in this class.
I caught a kicked up rock on I-95 yesterday that gave me a star burst (before.jpg) Safelite came out this afternoon to fix it. He wasn't successful (after.jpg) - now it has wings
The Safelite guy mentioned that when he'd told some of his co-workers that he had a MINI to do, they all groaned until he told them it was a repair, not a replace. He admitted that replacing one can be problematic.PMOA says $800 - $400 is just for labor. GEICO says Safelite will do it for under $500 - which is my deductible, so no matter who does it I'm 100% out of pocket. And since the Safelite tech was already spooked at the idea of replacing the windshield, I'm not calling them regardless.
