NHSTA is reporting on their site that MINI will be recalling certain 2007 -2011 S and JCW models manufactured from November 14, 2006 to January 18, 2011. The electric auxiliary water pump that cools the turbo has an electronic circuit that can malfunction and overheat. The circuit board may smolder and possibly lead to a vehicle fire.



MINI will notify owners starting in February 2012 and replace the water pump at no charge.

Hi Mini Skirts:

I will be walking in the Komen 3 day/60 mile walk, for the second time, in 2012 in Tampa Bay. I would appreciate any donations on my behalf. As a walker I am required to raise $2300 to participate.

I walk for my Mom, Aunt, and BFF Vickie who are all survivors. Also, my mother-in-law was recently diagnosed and just had surgery in Dec. I walk because I can...and everyone deserves a lifetime!…

Here we have the route and the Cheer Stations where we'll be teaming up with the Adult Mean Girls (AMG) team!

We are just over a week away, and I am happy to share more details with you.  Please note the route locations are subject to change slightly due to circumstances out of our control.  Remember to ‘friend’ me on Facebook to keep up to date on the route during the 3-days.  I will be posting from each location.

Thursday, 11/3 – Get The Party Started…

The official cheering stations have been assigned!

IF any of the LaTex Skirts would like to join me one of these days, please let me know!  I'm thinking we can decorate our cars, park them somewhere VISABLE and cheer on the walkers - this is NOT the time to raise money but - I'm thinking we could have some of the stuff Penny had or the MINI pins and if any of the other cheering parties are interested we can sell the stuff to them!

For your information I will…
