Here we go! Last show before Thanksgiving with Todd, Chad and **db** clearing out the MotoringFile news queue and the AskChad inbox.
Have an R50 and want to do a little something special to jazz things up a bit after all this time? Todd has the lead on a JCW Sound Kit for a fantastic price! You can hear the full review he did here. At the price it’s being offered for it would be worth it for the exhaust alone. This one won’t last long, so contact us right away! This is definitely a first come first serve.
Thanksgiving Day is happening this week in the United States. Traditionally we take this week off for the holiday. And, not wanting to break from tradition, we are going to take the break. Also, this week does kick off the crazy Christmas Shopping Season. If you are looking for something specific for your MINI or to give as a gift, Detroit Tuned, OutMotoring.com, Motoringbadges.com and MINI of Ontario are all great places to start!

Listening to the review of the JCW sound kit for the R50 Brought a tear to my eye. Reminded me of that magical day after break in and I took MIB past 4000 RPM. I miss that little car!
Todd, I am glad you brought up this year’s hot item from SEMA. CravenSpeed already has a kit for Droid phones that will not only hook them up to the OBDII port, but also mount the Droid to the tach on the MINI so you can actually see the display while you drive. We have a demo video on our site;

Guys, Todd especially, I have you to thank for tipping the balance in my decision to buy the SoundKit for my 2006 MC. I had it installed last year. Love it, love it, love it.
I would add that the ECU remapping is a must. Meaning that a dealer install is the way to go, IMHO. The notorious dip, or lag, when the throttle is depressed is largely remedied after the JCW SoundKit remapping. Just my two cents.
Thanks for answering the question about the extended warranty. I had just about decided against it but after hearing you guys I think I am going to go ahead and get it.
