The Life of Grey Kahu

2006 MINI Cooper

1,000 Mile Marker December 9, 2006

Took the MINI for it’s first golf outing this weekend and in doing so finally surpassed the 1,000 mile mark. Following the instructions in the owner’s manual, I have 250 conserative miles to travel to finalize the recommended break-in period. It’s been a while since I’ve had a new car and forgot how difficult it can be to drive 1,000 miles in Hawaii.Got my 3rd brakelight replaced, under warranty, this weekend at MINI of Hawaii, and while waiting managd to start my Christmas shopping.

 

Cracked Third Brakelight December 3, 2006

Earlier this week I was showing off my new stubby antenna when I noticed my Third Brakelight is cracked from end to end.

I don’t recall this crack appearing last weekend while washing Kahu. Looks like I’ll be making my first visit to MINI of Hawaii parts department. Hope this is covered under warranty or something.
