My Mini-Z MINI

September 23rd, 2007

I’ve had the Kyosho Mini-Z radio controlled car for a while, but recently got this MINI Cooper S body for it. It’s Dark Silver instead of Pure Silver like my MINI, but it’s close enough!

Check and see they have your MINI!

MINI Playing Cards

MINI Playing Cards

Picked up a set of MINI playing cards today, once again another genius marketing idea from MINI. Each card has a different MotoringGear item, which includes everything from t-shirts to plush bulldogs. Don’t forget to pick up yours the next time you’re at the dealership!

A Nail in the Run-flat.

Nail in Tire

Macro Image of Nail

After having my low tire sensor chime and light up yesterday, I checked the pressures. Sure enough, about 5lbs less in the right front than the others. We found the culprit today, a tiny nail. Only 1lb was lost overnight so it’s a fairly slow leak at least. I’m taking it for repairs tomorrow, even if the air pressure doesn’t hold up, the run-flat technology should get me there in one piece.
