Visited MINI Peabody this afternoon; did an oil change (5800 miles – paid for it) and my favorite techs did a few other jobs too.
I also had them install some Green Stuff brake pads; they are supposed to brake better than stock, and do not shed as much dust (so the wheels stay cleaner). Their price ($150+labor) is more than online, but I am happy to pay extra to stay with my local dealership.
Hopefully I will notice a difference in the next few weeks.
Passings MINIs on the road
Saw two MINIs on the way to work this morning 🙂
I passed a Black Cooper on route 128; did not even notice it till I had gone past! So slowed down and let it pass me and waved – got a wave back from the lady owner and passenger too.
Then at the Village Restaurant in Essex, a Blue Cooper was parked – could not find the owner, but took a picture anyway:
(the owner, Shelley, has contacted me – she works at FNBI bank round the corner)
Also saw a green CLASSIC Mini (with sunroof) today! Waved and got a wave back 🙂
GBMINI gets chrome washer jet caps
I fitted some chrome washer jet caps on GBMINI today – the black ones were graying from wax, and Indi Blue looks much better with chrome. I bought them from CooperTuning, a german company – the parts arrived in about a week so no problems with shipping. The price with shipping is around $30. They fit over the black washer jet and fastens with double sided tape – it does not quite fit down to the hood, but looks fine unless you get really close!
