Indi Blue MCS with Union Jack roof
Got GBMINI back from Sublime Restorations today 🙂
I now have a glowing MINI colored Union Jack flag on the roof – and they cleaned & polished it too; it looked great (at least till I drove it out of the shop and into yet another New England winter storm):
No MINI today!
I took it to Sublime Restoration in Rowley this morning … Julian there will hopefully have a Union Jack flag painted on by the end of the week (maybe for my birthday – Friday).
Broke through 1200 miles tonight! So GBMINI is now officially run in.
Good – the performance and power is great, but you can feel the car really starting to get keen around 4500rpm, which is when you are supposed to stop during the run in period.
Visited MINI Peabody today to have a few details dealt with. As always, perfectly excellent service and everybody friendly. They solved my “wet seat belt” and replaced the boot round the handbrake (cut through by a bolt which now has a rubber end cap on it); they also appear to have eliminated a vibration from the passenger door area. Saw loads of other MINIs around – there will be lots more happy Boston area owners soon 🙂
