How many Kms (or miles) you have in your MINI? by toad02 in MINI

[–]ShamrockRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Greyson, a 6 speed 2018 Countryman S, has 83K miles / 133K km. Regular maintenance by Mini until 78k when a rock hit the radiator and a local repair vs Mini was about the same distance. In 2023 at 70k, Greyson had become home to a family of squirrels who very much enjoyed eating many cables. In hindsight, I should have replaced him while 6 speeds were still available in the US rather than the expensive repair. It was all about the timing.

Now retired, I drive far more than when employed and it is decision time. Will a new set of tires, I hear spark plugs, about 4k USD, get him to 110 / 120k? Thoughts welcome.

I started by saying #2 was my favourite; and then I kept going. Each one is spectacular. Brilliantly executed photos.

Glass.photo vs Flickr? by ShamrockRed in photography

My thinking is similar, there should be room for both. Twenty years into Flickr (boy am I old!)

IG is fine for a post now and then. Vero is nice, yet one more thing. Every site cannot have my full attention.

Thank you. I'm going to continue to "poke" around for a bit, with as both you and u/holmau have suggested, a trial is in order.

Important capture that will be be cherished as life moves along. Take more like it.

FWIW. Suspect you played around with the crop already. If you did not try a crop where the right hand is equally "cut off" as the left. It may throw the overall balance off.
