Were these cars condemned to Hell?

Has this happened to you? :banghead: It's Not About the Nail on Vimeo

Could the 0.030" step be to keep the belt from wondering off center?

Was that union approved?

If a vehicle is out of the warrant period, what it to stop a driver from towing a barge (with brakes) with a compact car? In the US of A we retain the right to due what ever pops into out head. :flag:

As I understand them, there are wide and narrow band sensors. In each category, are there differences between them? Or to ask it another way, what is the interchangeability?

The motor sounds like the car should flying down the road, but look out the window. Not so much and yes I did see the UU's

The Mini is back home good as new. New glass and regulator assembly covered by warrant. It turns out that "warrant coverage" on some items is subject to opinion it seams. I don't know if it was a convincing factor, but an exploding shower door story may have tipped the scale. :smilielol5: Thanks for the feedback. :seeya:

That thing could do some DAMAGE!

Every time I watch this guy he tears me up! :rofl:

It started of bad and then really went to Hell for Denver. I wonder how much recreational drugs were involved. :jester:

A lesson in how to overcome challenges in life. I've pass it on, it's worth sharing. I'm glad you did.

Dave, Thanks for your info. Did the repair guy also replace the regulator assembly? Carl

The lead/acid weighted in at 25 lbs. Wish I could knock off +20 lbs.

We keep the car in the garage at night but it does get out in the day to play. The garage is not "heated" but it hasn't gotten as cold as outside. It's been cold the Atlanta area this winter but no record low's so far. In '82 we has "SnowJam", this week was "SnowJamII" as far as I can tell. But '82 was worse. PS Please don't think we can't handle bad weather, we have a few factors that make it more of a challenge, hills and the streets are not on a grid.

That's what I heard, then I had glass in my lap. OK, some context. This afternoon I was riding in my wife's MINI on the highway and the passenger side window exploded. Most of the glass that stayed inside the car was between the seat and the door, some on the floor and me. There are a few chips in the paint behind the door, I would guess from flying glass and getting caught by the air @ 65MPH. The car doesn't have any other scratches since it has less than 3K on it. Has anyone else ever experienced this? Also, so far no foreign object has been located and glass did not fly to the other side of the car or in my face. So far, the dealer isn't talking about covering this under warrant. I think is a catastrophic part failure and should be covered. Thoughts?

The wheels are too wide for FV. It looks like a early 60's F1. Or you could try this... http://www.f1-67.com/index.html

V8 + Big tires + Lots o' ground clearance = http://www.youtube.com/embed/GzXVLbs41Ew

That would make some great possibilities. :party:

Everyone's behaving, it's How are we behaving? :smilielol5: :cuss: :cooldude: :rofl:

Let me guess... The rule making committee decided to see how ugly the could make the cars look. :puke:

Ya' gotta love it! :smilielol5:

The position of the clam shells looks to reduce front end lift.
