Paceman and Countryman's have them standard on the door (and you thought it was the new Power Mirror button ), although the CM has a selection dial so you can choose which passenger to get rid of, all other models are added to the door panel at the dealer.

I do miss my MINI confidiential gear on my r53 including the toggle switch overlay.

It's home - has been shown its side of the garage and introduced to Mequiar's. Now to rack up enough miles to get beyond the break-in period!

On a side note - it appears from the MOL that I must have another MINI coming as they list one at the VDC apparently in addition to the one I've already taken delivery on. Yes they are a bit behind on their info.

Oh yes - CR I know it's nekked - but it probably will have bonnet stripes in the near future.

LSLMINI,
Congrats again and welcome home little MINI!
She looks comfortable on her end of the garage

Miles rack up quick with errands and excuses! You don't even need a doctor's note for that..

I wonder what kinda of discounts pop out during this time, especially with a new body build coming out.. I asked out MA if they'd cut a deal on the lonely ClubVan on the lot, thought it might be unique for our business..

Toledo is shooting up the Chesapeake Bay to the Baltimore Port and my wife is going to be at a conference tomorrow 3 blocks away!!! She is going to take some pictures and try to use her feminine guile to get on the boat and check out our 2014 Roadster S. Wish her luck! So close but so far away since the car has to continue on the trek through Panama all the way to Cali since the dealership that sponsored the car for wheel of Fortune is in LA. We won't get her for another 4 weeks, but it is nice to know she was within 100 miles of Jersey this morning

I guess it's hard to complain when it's a "free" car, but that's just stupid to send it to LA, just to have it trucked back to Jersey.

I just realized that I missed your episode...I'm bummed.

Hey "T", I recorded and just watched your episode of WOF. You guys rocked!! You two are a great team!! I am so happy for you! Your wife is beautiful and smart, good catch! Sorry you have to wait for the transporter to deliver your car across country, but it will be worth the wait!! If this is your first MINI, you will be amazed at the fun factor. Keep us apprised, and post pics when you get her.

My CM is on the same boat, and it is also coming to LA. My dealer told me should be at the dealership on 8/8 or 8/9. Lucky for those who are in the east coast.
