Quick Green Stuff update; the “Anti Squeal Kit” fitted by MINI Peabody has silenced the brakes – I have not heard them squeal or squeak at all in the last week … good.
Definitely suggest having the Anti Squeal Kit put on initially if you have the Green Stuff pads put on – I presume they do no harm, and it is better than taking the pads off again to update them …
“Snorty & Co” Mini cartoon web site
Ever wondered what happened to the BMW/MINI lawyers being heavy-handed with MCOL?
This recent Autoweek article tells us that the issue is as yet unresolved but is continuing to get media coverage. The bad part of this article is seeing that Mike McHale (previously a MINI USA good guy) is agreeing with the lawyers now.
And if you have not done so, please remember to sign the petition.
Something quite amusing and somewhat related that I stumbled over tonight – the “Snorty And Co” web site which has lots of Mini related cartoons (including some a little agressive towards MINIs).
This one I am sure is related to BMW/MINI lawyer activities (which occurred in England long before they affected USA):
Here are links to a couple of my favorite Snorty cartoons:

New MINI steering wheel design – yuk!
Yuk!
Nothing to do with my MINI, but for those of your with a MINI on order for the end of the year, check out this pic posted on MINI2 of a different steering wheel design:
Looks like a toy to me!
This is what my one looks like – much better:
