There's a way to set that via the computer. My MA whizzed through the demo but I can't remember exactly how to do it. You might not have to trek all the way to the dealer if you can get someone to talk you through it on the phone -- or if you can find it in the manual.

Great looking pics everybody!
Here's a pic of mine at home (you can click on it to make it big - I don't know how to post a non-thumbnail). She sure is fun to drive.
At pick up I decided to change out the checker side scuttles for the JCW side scuttles, which I think play nicely off the chrome mirrors.

SaltnPepa, Wow! 1100 miles already?I haven't even broken 100 yet!
Thanks, Bhelton! I'm pretty pleased with myself for getting the sport stripes. It classes it up a little.

Is that a CA inspection/emissions sticker on your windshield? I thought VA's were big and ugly.

Did anyone else get the link to the "about your MINI" website by their MA? Its a whole series of videos for operating the various controls including the somewhat unusual intermittent wiper controls. (Don't ask. Let's just say I got caught in the rain without learning the technique for operating them!)

Good point. So far, there's this and the wireless4mini stuff that doesn't appear to be linked to the main site at all. Maybe it's through the OL? I don't spend much time there, so I don't know...

tuesday_next thanks for the "about your MINI link" -- that really helps!
I'd like to announce the arrival of Winny (I believe that this will be her name or Roo):
I picked her up on Friday and just LOVE her! She far exceeds my expectations and I'm constantly wanting to motor. What utter joy! I already have over 500 miles on her and she's begging for more. She's been spoiled so far as we had the whole weekend together and lots of motoring, now she's learning that I work 9-5 and we can't play during those hours (I might indulge her on my lunch break...). It will be a little adjustment for her, but I'll make it up to her on the weekends and by giving her a few corners to play with during the commute.

Nice ride! Love the chrome mirror caps with the black and silver. I saw a silver/black MINI here yesterday and they had tinted the windows with the reflective tint...it looked really sharp. Accented the silver and chrome really nice.
Is that a CA inspection/emissions sticker on your windshield? I thought VA's were big and ugly.

The sticker on the front is the temporary registration. I figured it looked big too...although then I thought maybe it looks big because the window is so small.

By the way, what's in your boot?
#668
Uhm..that's kinda personal (is this the blushing smilies?)...joking. I HAD to go shopping at the MINI store at the dealers and got a great jacket with MINI on the back and they gave out these great shopping bags that they had just received. So I thought it apropro that my boot have some MINI purchases already (and the bag is darn cute).

Yeah, it's pretty quiet in here now that we're all motoring . Last night my Clubman got her first bath and wax and I had LOTS of clearbra installed to protect her.
I'm with you on the Christmas wish list! I want gift certificates for details and detailing supplies as well.

Yeah, I hear ya. Stella needs another bath, but it's just gotten so cold here. Her runnin' shoes are filthy though.
I haven't decided what I want to do to accessorize her, but I did just order her a brand new vanity plate. My first one! I've never had another car worthy of a vanity plate.
