Never Too Old To MOTOR!

Posted by murmini Fri, 23 Feb 2007 02:23:32 GMT

It has now been clearly proven that many people buying MINIs are return customers. This sensibility obviously improves... with age.

Kirk Swauger, of the Tribune Democrat, of Johnstown, PA, has written a wonderful story about Ernest Trent, a 100 year old man from Somerset, Pennsylvania, who is about to take delivery of his 2nd MINI Cooper!

The other interesting part of this story is we share the same dealer! He is a customer of MINI of Charleston. . . Read the full story here.

To provide a local MINI community site, Coastal MINIS has launched as a place to post information about events, outings and of course, our Monthly Motoring adventures. Hope this will grow as a local resource for MINI owners living in the coastal community of Georgia and South Carolina. The planned motoring event for the 1st Sunday in March is already posted on the site.

On-Board Diagnostics - Pt 1

Posted by murmini Fri, 19 Jan 2007 10:45:35 GMT

The On board Diagnostics, or OBD, is yet another computer system built into all vehicles since the late 80s to assist in the monitoring of the engines performance in the interest of emissions monitoring. Well that's how it started anyway.

Where is the Fuse to What?

Posted by murmini Thu, 11 Jan 2007 01:05:57 GMT

mab01uk, a regular poster on MINI2.com, a UK-based MINI site, just answered all your fusing and grounding questions in a great post. He has listed all of the MINI's fuses, relays and ground points (earth points if your from my home country!) and provided them in an easy to read list here. I should note that the 'passenger compartment' fuse box that he refers to is in the driver's foot-well in export left-hand drive vehicles. Nice Job!
