Cheers bro. Yeah it's difficult to find time for AL when overseas. Please upload epi two for comments. Good luck SN bro! MINIACE

That was a thrilling race and it's good to see F1 is becoming seriously interesting. So sad to see Shumy departing on lap 12. I'm sure the Merc camp got more thrills for F1 fans. MINIACE

Visa is required for travelling. Visit Thai visa office at green Lanka building, Nawam Mawatha for visa. fee is 4600/-. You need two visa type photos, bank statements and an employment confirmation from employer for individual travel visas. Business visa is 9500/- I guess. Process period is two days. MINIACE

No not expensive to maintain. MINIACE

As Ripper mentioned, browsing old threads will help you a lot. 1.3 manual efis are rare and expensive, sure that's the ideal daily runner. Post your questions, you got many Mini experts and enthusiasts here. MINIACE

I do agree with some comments about premature tranny oil changes here. Pug's auto box is very sensitive and needs TLC for better results. Few steps will give you relief...get a full tune up done,change tranny oil using an ATF changer.. If results are going to be the same, you can do a little off the book method to help gear changes, simply back off the peddle gently and slightly to enhance the upon reaching normal changing speeds. that will help gear change in sort of a manual way. continous revving up will not help changes. do that and see if the consumption reduces, if so get the auto box serviced.

Hey Supra_Natural ...that's a great show.....man you got talents! Congrats that's a good show bro !!! I'm sure you are considering all good comments seriously and a little smile and a bit of hair styling would add more value to the hunky presenter ;-p get rid of your glasses mate ;-) Sorry my comments are coming late since I'm overseas and was very busy never had a chance to login AL.Thanks Malla for uploading vid, please add all other episodes since I'm going to be away from SL for few weeks more. Good luck S_N mate..! MINIACE

Visit Don Carolis...They will replace entire dashboard with genuine teak or Mahogany...so the whole dashboard is an ornament. Sorry if I sound so rude mate..I hate to see car dashboards becoming showcases and rear glass becoming a soft toy cabinets. Cars are just cars.... MINIACE

Any particular area? MINIACE

In KL, E46 and above parts and bodykits you get at Bavarian auto Parts-Jalan segambut KL.They have genuine parts and stuff are good but expensive BMW aftermarket parts you get at Inner Power-Jalan Ipoh KL.Nice bodykits they have.Loads of E30 parts are there. MINIACE

No they sell all sorts of lights and accessories BMW spares you get at TRC motorsport, Thanom Bang (Between airport and City ) off Burapha Withi expressway aprx 25km from Airport. TRC is one stop shop for all motoring requirements. MINIACE

Now this is called real street fight!! MINIACE

For lights visit B.P autoshop Kasemrad Road Bangkok , not too far from city centre, Airport and famous hotels like, First Hotel,Pathumwan Princess,Radisson, For Wheels, tyres, suspension parts including brakes visit auto boy Body kits , Hippy auto sports- same area...they have a website too..just browse. For stickers, badges, T-shirst and flashy gadgets art sticker shop-Silk road near park plaza.they also have a website Need more info? Can check invoices collected and share. MINIACE

Yeah I also pass this place almost everyday, never noticed...so weird ... a serious death trap. MINIACE

Majority of Trajets, Carnivals and Carens are going Petrol to Diesel swaps. Not a big issue if you get it done at a proper place. Recently I came across a badly swapped Trajet and its really costly to correct. Before the conversion, it is mandatory that you have to take RMV commissionaire's consent.Note that 2C and 3C engines are costly.Conversion charges and government fees are high. so do the maths and see. Surely Hyundai beta and sirrus engines are under powered hence causing high Trajet fuel consumption. MINIACE

Do you really need a human flight to highlight the racing spirit??? Surely the name Mini is besides the point. MINIACE

Certainly it cant be all the plugs since all plugs abruptly go 'Bonkers' as you described is a one in a million situation. even if one or two seize up due ware and tare ,it will not be that momentous . Check all ignition leads for correct sparks. if you have never done it under supervision before, DIY is not applicable.Call a technician or drive.Its ok to drive if car doesnt misfire, vibrate violently.You can judge that.

Water alone in the cooling system will work fine. By adding coolant at correct ration will help increasing the boiling temperature a bit but thats insignificant in a failed or a faulty system. Surely coolants have an edge over water when it comes to lubricating the system and anti rust campaign, but not to the extent as shown on commercials. The biggest practical advantage is when the system is leaking when filled with coolants,very visible and significant due colour. MINIACE
