My mini's loving the warmer weather we've had, funny how a few degrees warmer it been the mini has been running a lot smoother, not to mention having to wait less time for it to warm up in the mornings.

yeah I was only saying the same thing yesterday to a friend ... my mini was also much happier the last two days (excluding today - its locked up in the garage out of the wet today - for fear of wet electrics in peak hour sydney traffic) - never having had a mini before I was surprised just how temperature specific it seems to be??
It may have been driving smoother, but now the speedo refused to register...... high maintenance these things..........

I agree, lately, the last week my car has been going tons better!

It was dyno tuned in weather like this, and it performs much better in weather like this.

It's actually quite fast now, it's ot more powerful, but picks up quicker on acceleration. I'm very happy. :D

Modern cars have computers to make those small adjustments to keep the car running smoothly in differing weather conditions. In a Mini YOU are the computer.

Most old cars will perform better when the air is dense and cool like at night.
