The odometer read about 4830 when I got home – that including 11 “delivery” miles. Service interval shows 6400 miles to go (wasn’t reset for the paid-for oil change)

Just curious, but how many miles total did you rack up? And how many miles was left on the service countdown before you had the oil changed?

R.B – not the only GP; there’s another in Boston (David) and one up in New Hampshire (Matt); and by the end of October there’ll probably be 10 or more in New England!

B.J. – thanks for the feedback; you’ll notice I’m not knocking M7 for this product, I even linked to them!

I know you like to keep with the theme, but the m7 brace is fantastic and will help with the mushrooming issues too. jwardell, I have a set of m7 plates you’re welcome to play with (they’re just sitting in the garage).

So are you the ONLY GP for how many miles???

I guess I’ve been missing this whole Mushroom thingy. I’d betta CK my Towers…. ;Â¬)

Glad you got home safe and somewhat sound and again thanks for dinner back in Monterey.

I’ve also been following the mushrooming issue for a while. I’m tempted to get the M7 plates, but too pricey for the hunks of metal that they are. Hopefully someone will have a cheaper alternative.

Dignity has nothing to do with it – why do it myself?

Dealer-installed parcel shelf?! Have you no dignity?

You’d think MINI would have alerted the dealers to lots of stuff about the GP, wouldn’t you …

The official line is that the bar is NOT structural and not rated for mounting harnesses, but only for restraining luggage. But if that’s true, it’s a shame they didn’t fit it closer to the front seats!
