Pini's been a good car. From all reports from MINI USA and my dealership, Pini is at least the 1st 2012 Clubman off the Oxford production line, if not the first 2012 MINI off the line as a whole.
She's been good to me. A few hiccups.
We've already got 17,000+ miles together. She's driven across the country (almost) and back, she's climbed to the summit of Mt. Washington (all 6,288 feet of her, or at least the parking lot), and all around New England.
Only a few issues. Within a month of ownership, her tachometer died, which is the control assembly for everything electronic in the car.. so that was a little scary. It was replaced within a couple days at the dealership. Then she worked perfectly up until about two weeks ago, and I had to get the engine thermometer replaced, which caused all sorts of messages on the MINI Connect screen saying "Engine Malfunction, Reduced Power" and a nice solid orange light.
Took her into the shop the next day and within about two hours was all fixed up...and even bought her some bling while there. A nice shiny new JCW Strut Bar.
Already making memories with her!

I wonder if the dealer programs in a minor malfunction in order to get customers back in for bling ahead of the first service visit.

Yikes! I was just going to suggest some motoring swag for you and maybe a cute little bulldog keychain and maybe a car cover for all that rain for VIV but I'll rescind my statement... so sorry. I'm sure the right buyer will come along. What type of Jeep is it?

So can anyone who has an ihpone 4s tell me if they hear a humming sound through the speakers when trying to listen to the ipod portion of the phone? I'm guessing it's because it's an iphone and the radio is causing interference. I'll try to hook up my ipod touch via bluetooth and listen to the music that way (or I guess I could just hook it up and not plug in the iphone?). Let me know if any of you has heard humming... Thank you!

Anything about your MINI driving you crazy yet?
Every time I open the doors or boot, there is condensation dripping everywhere. (From the rain, obviously...)
My purse is apparently heavy enough to signal the passenger seat seat belt tone to go off. FYI....I don't consider my purse heavy.
My hubby keeps asking if he can take my MINI to work with him.
So far....that's it.

hello Mr Statetrooperman
so last week i motor up to the corner "quikkie store" for a cup of coffee and something sweet to go with it
as i walk out the door, i see Mr Statetrooperman has parked his car behind my CMS All4, blocking me into the pull-in parking space and HE is standing behind my CMS All4 looking at the tags (or so it appears) ....
OH OH! what did i do now?
:confuse d:
i am just standing there and he looks up and says "is this your car, sir?"
my first thought is to deny, deny, deny and steal another car ....
but i say "yes it is"
he says "nice car, WHAT IS IT? i know it's a MINI, but IT HAS 4 DOORS"
BIG SIGH!
and into the sales pitch i go
i think i am now down to 3 lives left out of my original nine, there are some other interesting stories for the other 5 lives

I joined 5280 in January and went to some things, but lately (Last 3 months) I haven't gone to anything. I have been busy on the weekends.

2. WOW, I thought MY purse was big and heavy? My boyfriend calls my purse the BLACK HOLE
3.
Only thing wrong with mine so far is that the windshield got dinged. The side scuttles are a little loose but I think i'm going to change them anyway...
