R52 The Official Sidewalk Owners Club
#201
I thought there was only one country version. When I saw Ubique's black Sidewalk picture I noticed the trim pattern on the seats. I had not noticed that on other pictures in the thread the seat pattern is different. Here is a picture of mine. Is this consistent with a US version or UK?

btw, did anyone else notice that when the temp crosses 80, things start to get hot in the mini? it's got to be an issue with that black interior.....though i must say it looks stunning

It looks like the US seats are different to other countries.
I had a check on the configurators for US, UK, Mexico, Canada, and Germany.
All are the same except the US seats. Seems like the full length pleats on the bottom would hold up better.
Seat trivia, sorry. I just found it strange Mini would change the style for us in the US.
UK:
USA:
Mexico:
I'll get off my seat now and go do something productive, like prepare to move back to the US in just under two weeks.

Late entry
Hi all! Looks like you guys have been up and running for a while now, hope it's not too late to join. Just took delivery of my Mini three weeks ago, but have been out of town, so I'm on day 3 of driving and it's a blast.
1) Will post edit once I have some good ones.
2) On the fence here, I'm leaning towards Eton but it's not "cute" enough. I've never named a car anything polite, so she's got the upper hand in the decision process.
3) Virginia Beach
4) Astro Black
5) MCSCa (gf no drivo stick-o)
6) 20s
7) Was, but I lost my membership for telling a Stephen Hawking joke at a meeting. Apparently you're only to refer to him as "Dr. Hawking," but I guess I was one I.Q. point short of figuring that out on my own.
8) Either "All Right Now" by Free or "Jenny" by Tommy Tutone depending on who's driving.
9) Brand new, but looking at getting a few. I know next to nothing about what's available so...

Sidewalks on the Sidewalk I
Okay, I posted an idea a few days ago about a Sidewalk Owners' Club event... maybe something annual, maybe in conjunction with another MINI event. Well, I wanted to let everyone know that Sidewalks On The Sidewalk I was held this afternoon in Denver CO!
The event featured one MINI, two owners, and two owners-in-waiting! Dave and Vickie (Xbass) were in Denver with "Stella" and topped by our house to say hello... a little something to tide us over while we wait for "Wellington" to be born. Here are a couple of pics:
that's Dave (in jeans) and me (shorts) with Stella. Note my 4yo daughter Aydan peeking over the door!
After beer and stories, Stella even "enjoyed" an impromptu detailing session when the lawn sprinklers kicked on!
Okay, now let's get down to the real business of scheduling an event!
