We’re back in Florida, visiting Magic Kingdom with Paul, Sheila, Matthew and Tom who are visiting the house for a few weeks …
The park wasn’t too busy, but the skies decided to threaten; we decided to go indoors, and visited the Tiki Room – smart decision because we missed a short cloudburst that left more than 2″ deep puddles outside!
Since The Great Ice Cream Run last year, I’ve been listening to Sirius Satellite Radio in GPMINI, using a receiver hard-wired in to the Alpine head unit, giving clear sound and artist/etc displays.
In GBMINI#6, I installed a factory AUX input cable and I’ve been using the “portable” Sirius receiver that I bought last year for my SiriusXM comparison; I had the little receiver stuck in a cup holder, which allows me to hear it but makes reading the display and pressing buttons a little tricky!
Over the last week or so, I’ve been updating the sound in GBMINI#6 – the factory iPod interface came out (which is un-necessarily challenging due to the way it is installed), and I have a Dension Gateway 300 installed from MikeyTheMINI (more on that, later!) … side note: It’s a bit easier to work on the stereo in a Convertible, dropping the top gives you lots more visibility 🙂
Having been alerted to the problem by Chris, another GP owner, I find that like his GP, my cars rear spoiler fixing screws are rusting and looking rather ugly!
This issue is not happening for all owners – I suspect it’s related to weather conditions and perhaps whether or not the car is garaged (GP0203 is not) … I’ll be chatting to my dealership to see what they think about it …
