Of my Mini? Yes, in some meeting gallerys...but I allready sold it...my first was a 1993 SPI and them comes a 1998 MPI...really loved my MPI, but get sick of rust at the end, so I sold it

site is back online with most of the pic's...

I like the 175/50s, and the Autobahn is not really the territory of the Midas so I'm ok with the higher revs needed...
I searched a lot for the good ol' 165/60's, and maybe some shops have some, but the producing stops and so it's better to find a alternative now...even ones in stock get old and I'm ...

Why talking about tyre-sizes that are no longer available? At least I found no ones in germany...

Hm, I'm not dissapointed, not really ... I know there should be more, or could be more, but at least it's only a 4-speed, and former owner used it mostly on small- and middle-size roads too,
but I'm not really that into top-speed and it's fast enough to travel with my friends of my Mini-club ...

Ok, after oil-change and check on all other fluids I reached on the autobahn on the way home 175 km/h (around, including the 5 it shows to less) at 6000 rpm...

Sounds good

I'm not really looking for topspeed, anything faster than my Mini is ok, prefer comfortly cruising ...
Speedometer now shows about 5 km/h less, but want to test it out with a gps-navigation...

Maybe I'm lucky because of the no-speed-limit-autobahn, but believe me, I enjoyed really much the driving ...

Hm, I don't think the 165/60's are longer available, at least I don't find any new, that's why I changend to the 175/50's.
After 2 days driving them now I can't say anything bad about them, no rubbing, great on autobahn too, but didn't tested the topspeed by now (and didn't do so before, damn 10 ...

DONE !!! Answered a lot of questions (like always) but it's done. No driving on bricks anymore .
Drove it home on the autobahn and thru 2 towns, no rubbing at all ...
