You know you’re a Mini owner if…you use your kid’s bathroom to wash floormats in the Winter time
Stuffing ourselves has become a tradition…and so should be the Post Turkey Day Run with Mini5280. Today Jacob, my oldest son, and I had the pleasure of running through Denver today with about 10-12 other Minis. We started out at the old Detailer’s Paradise location on South Broadway. The group started by working our way [...]
Finally biting the bullet today and picking up some snow rubber for the Clubman. I have been all over the map on this one. Would it be Blizzaks, Dunlops or the super in expensive Hankooks. I decided on the Hankooks. The budget is tight right now, and the tread design has the “V” aspect I [...]

Granted I may not have seen them wave…but we all know GP owners are stuck up.
I am beginning to think that putting an extra $200 worth of TPMS thingys on my Clubman’s Winter rims and tires is a huge waste of money. After all aren’t they going to come on every morning anyway? I may skip them.
Here in Colorado Winter is approaching. Ok it’s not really Winter till what, December? However Winter weather can hit us anytime here. This week will see the Clubman with snow tires and a new set of rims. When I traded in my old 2006 Cooper S I held on to a few essentials. One of [...]
