And so what? Mini dropped the EPA rating on my Cooper S from 38 to 34 on the highway last year. Am I pissed? No. If I cared about the mileage I would have bought the regular Cooper. I feel these TDI owners won’t end up noticing that big of a change in their mileage after it’s all said and done.

It can’t be that hard to fit a manual.....

You shouldn’t be concerned about the quality anymore. It kept me on the fence from buying a Mini for a long time. Needless to say they’ve fixed that issue and I’m the proud owner of a F56.

The part I don’t seem to understand is if they’re such big polluters, why does sitting behind a new 3/4 ton truck bother my nostrils, but not new TDI does not?

I feel your pain.

I fixed that for you!

It’s stupid and asinine. Even euro made cars are coming with red turn signals now where every other market is amber. Keep the damn things separate and different colors.

Sad to hear Nibbles is still alive and well

Having to replace things over time to me is just part of owning a complex machine. As long as it doesn’t strand me on the side of the road it’s reliable. Camry owners may beg to differ.

I would love some purp’ for my 4 door, but I need to find two rear sets to have enough material to do the M3 rear seat.

That would be the sprocket that drives the chain that spins the cams. At some point the sprocket lost a few teeth like a crackhead.

And it’s not something you can replace with the motor IN the car.

My mom told me I would never finish it and give up. Needless to say, I’m a spiteful little shit.

Woot I’m internet famous!

No, just a design edition cabrio that I’m sure has since been scrapped in the UK.

The summer I turned 18, I went out and did something stupid.

You can say that again

That’s because Infiniti thought they needed to try really really hard for it not to look like the Patrol it is.

Come to south Texas. You’ll see tons of them. It’s like they never went out of production. All the folks from the valley love ‘em.

I think with the 18s it’ll be fine. I have 18s on my F56 and even with the stock 205s it looked okay. It looks a hell of a lot better with the 215s that replaced the tires below.
