  What do I have? 40 newb

  By clrussell

  Purchased a 40 out of the classifieds, made a deal a while back and finally was able to pick it up. After blowing the roof off on the highway, stopping to get it, strapping it back down and getting the 160 miles home at 1am I own a 40.. It’s very complete. But I’m a newbie and only know what I’ve read so I’m far from fluent on these things. What I do know is it’s a 1969, 4 speed swap, mini truck non vented discs. Front bench and jump seats were included in the purchase along with a box... Read more

  1979 - 81 Toyota Minitruck T-Shirt Graphic

  By Mike Shull

  Hi all. Those who know me may not know that I was into the minitruck scene for awhile. As I was thinking about what I wanted to draw next, I came across a really cool mini truck owned by Brian Gobin with Hillside 4x4. I don't know if he has a mud account. Brian is a great connection and he helped connect me with the 1-ton axles that are currently under my Cruiser. I should have this graphic finalized today and I am open to suggestions. I haven't had a minitruck in quite a few years so I... Read more

  Independent mechanic experiences

  By Zubs

  Anyone had any problems taking the SE to an independent mechanic? My 2023 SE is done with the 3 year included maintenance. I don’t like the BMW dealership in my area and would prefer to use anyone else. I started calling around and found out only about 30% of Mini mechanics in my area will service the SE. The one I’m trying out said they can handle everything unless it is specifically EV or battery related. At 4 years old the car is only calling for the standard inspection and a brake... Read more

  First time parking next to another SE

  By Jkoya

  For the first time, our 2023 White-Silver Mini Cooper SE was able to park next to another SE. This was at Nugget Market in Sacramento, CA. At first, I though the color was black, but when I got closer it had deep blue hues in it. Nice color and it was the first time I had seen it.

  2022 MINI SE Tire change effect regen?

  By Martha

  I understand the standard tire size for the vehicle 205/45R17 for the 17in wheels, but I purchased a 215/50R17. Once I started to drive it I felt the regen was off. The larger tire was amazing difference with the pot holes and bumps in the city, but I feel the regen is off. Is this possible? Has anyone changed the size of the tires to a larger one?
