no more pik-um-up-truk
[thumbsup]
now peel those reflectors off the fenders [laugh]
Blower 'overdrive' pulley yet?
Carbon fiber and more carbon fiber. Yup that's what that needs. WAYYYY too much plastic. Oh and a +1 on the blower and pulleys.
I would have bought a Mini ages ago but my dog won't fit in it.
Sweet [thumbsup] [popcorn]
Looks like a fun ride! I've seen a couple nicely modded ones playing on Deals Gap. They're quick.
For some reason, this cracked me up.

just get the Paceman or the Countryman !!!...that's what dolci has and I get to occasionally play with it.

Take a spin over here to Irvine with it.
I took a test drive in one awhile back when looking for a new car. Also drove a GTI and a 'Speed 3.
The 3 was fun, if a bit nutty for all the damn torque-steer
The GTI was, well a GTI. An excellent example of the breed.
The Mini, was a BLAST. It was literally "Laugh out Loud" fun. I was grinning and laughing the whole time.
I probably would have gotten the Mini, but I found one of my dream bikes in the weeks that followed, bought that instead.
[thumbsup]
Pulley, pulley, pulley!
Oh, if it's got the runflat tires, throw 'em in the bin at the first opportunity.
Runflats are teh suck.
Binky's Z4 came with 'em, and it rode like a log-wagon.
When they died, replaced with normal tires.
The ride comfort improved to punishing.
they are runflats, and the ride is not too bad.
im not going to mess with any engine parts until the warranty expires.... that and I don't need any tickets playing with extra hp

So what you are saying is "let the modding delay".

Not completely, just restricts it to farkles that don't make it go faster or void warranty.
More along the lines of blingy farkles.
love it!
i'd have a mini if the were AWD

You will need that warranty, my brothers cooper S has been in for repairs 4 times since he bought it new 18 months ago [laugh]

don't know what it is about the countryman, but it's not doing it for me

Me neither, though I guess it is a genuine minivan :P
A car that size does not need AWD. Makes it too heavy and kinda takes away the fun factor.

I wish you better luck with yours than we had with ours.
Keep a close on eye on the timing chain.

That's exactly what I mean. It's not like it's putting out 400HP and needs AWD to keep it on the road. It would be more fun if it was RWD [evil]

whoever here on the DMF is the keeper of the logo, needs to submit it to gobadge so we can all have one for our autos. I'll even pay the setup fee.
When I did set mine up, there was no fee. They just need a high resolution image.
