Cars and other kinds of motoring gibberish

Pick out your Mini yet?

I'm at a crossroads with my car right now: It needs a paint job and a 90K service... Or do I sell it and get a new car and endure 4+ years of payments... :sweat:

The rev limiter doesn't kick in until 6800, so I'm good. :beaten:

Only 90K? That's miles I guess :) My car is up to 64K (km) and it's 15 months old :)

Dang..................!

You'll be piling up a lot less now that work is closer, ne?

What color Mini are you looking at?

I'd get the red (Chili Red) with the double-white stripes... :beaten:

i've got the basic options down, I haven't really decided on the colors yet.. im leaning towards dark metallic silver, but i like the pure silver too. im trying to keep it under $26k which lets me finish paying it off in under 4 years.
Plus, if i do actually get one and they dont have something close on the lot (which i doubt) getting one from the factory is at least 5 weeks not including building queue time. Nice thing is that they tell you what cargo ship it's on, and you can track it's progress across the pond, thru the canal and into the ship queue at the Port of LA.

I understand both :) I'm just old enough to have learnt to measure in feet and inches before Australia went metric :)

Yup, here in America, there are two tiers of Japanese cars, the economy brand and the luxury brand that's made by the same manufacturer:

Acura >> Honda
Lexus >> Toyota
Infiniti >> Nissan

my friend who has a ducati 748 only does around 500 miles a year on it! what's the point? :banghead:
i do 300 miles a week on my bike.

Yea, Lexus can be seen quite often here, Acuras rarely, but the Infiniti thing - there's no such animal in our area :hehe:.

don't forget daewoo's luxury brand - chevrolet! :hehe:
