One of the benefits of moving my hosting to Site5 is better statistics. For example I can see what people typed into search engines that led them to my site. I thought it would be interesting to answer some of those questions, so here is a collection from September:
mini cooper blog -You’ve found mine. Head over to GoMotoring for a collection of several of others.
how can hk system have 8 speakers on mini cooper -The speakers you can’t seem to find are actually within the tweeters near the door handles: there is a tweeter on top of a midrange speaker there. Ian has a nice photo here.
mini speaker rattle, mini door panels -The strong bass of the HK speakers can rattle the door panels against the metal door. See my HK Door Fixes page for an easy way to stop it. It is also a good reference on how to remove the door panel.
mini cooper s problems -Your best resource to research technical problems and modifications is by searching the North American Motoring forums.
where is the gas tank on a mini cooper -It is under the back seat. You can yank up the bottom of the seat and you’ll see the panels to access the fuel pump and tank.
what is gas mileage for the mini cooper s with jcw, how can i improve my gas milage -If you’re that worried, don’t get it! Really, it’s still very good, about 24-28mpg. You can look at my fuel milage charts. There are several things to improve your milage that I detailed in this post, but it’s really not worth giving up the fun.
mini cooper roof rack, mini cooper ski rack -There are a few rack options for the MINI. If you plan to use a rack very often, then the factory rack is the way to go as it is much stronger than the others. But the $700 price and holes in your roof is not good for most of us that only use racks once in a while. Yakima and Thule have racks that are OK, but not as well designed for the MINI as the MontBlanc rack, which was my choice.
mini cooper autocross what is it, mini cooper autocross video -A lot of fun! Autocross is a timed race course set up on flat pavement and laid out with traffic cones. There are no other cars or other obstacles to worry about hitting. You don’t even hit highway speeds. They are well organized events that concentrate on driving technique, safety, and fun, and are an inexpensive way to spend a weekend day. This year I have been autocrossing with the Boston BMW CCA, but there are many groups in each state that hold them. I have a video from last time and will have a video from Saturday’s autocross posted later this week.
mini cooper cleaning products -Careful, it’s a bottomless pit! Visit my car care page to see all of mine. I will always try a new product, and will update that page whenever I find something better.
keith polischuk -Keith was a salesperson at MINI of Peabody and recently had a spinal cord injury. Head to careforkeith.com for updates on his successful recovery progress and what you can do to help.
That’s enough for now, If you think this is a good idea to post once in a while let me know and I’ll do another in a month or two.
