That's gotta be the worst aspect of the new Mini's, of course if anyone could just go to the dealer & pick one up at the drop of a hat, they might not be as special.
Mine hits port on monday.

I drove Winnie (my Mini) today and my only problems were...

1) She's still dirty with all the snow and salt from the snow we got last week (It rained yesterday so I couldn't wash her)...and she much prefers to be all shiny and clean (of course, she forgives me and still runs great...and ran great last week in the snow!); and

2) My drive to work is not nearly long enough...I need more quality time with Winnie!!

Other than that, no problems. :-) I love loove luff lurve Winnie!!

Well I'm a Mini owner that cries about everything I hate it when I roll down my windows and can feel the air. (sarcasm) No problems close to 10k.

I love it. I installed the third brake pulsar on the weekend, and flashed some tailgaters real good today! Another happy mini day.

My Mini is spoiled it just sits in the garage. I bought it in June and i have 3,000 miles. My daily driver is a 2005 Xterra that eats gas. I'll never take it out in the snow. When spring comes I'll be drivin it everyday. No problems to date.

mine is also sitting pampered in the garage today...probably peeking out of the windows and pouting that the morning rain has ceased...

The only problem I had today was a guy in a huge pick-em-up truck who turned in front of me right before I was entering my favorite corner on my way back to work. He just had to get in there first, so I was forced to take the corner at a very boring speed.

Norton (my MINI) makes me happy every day and has provided nothing but trouble-free and fun-filled motoring.

7200 miles, 9+ weeks and loving every mile of it! My mini handles very well in the rain. Those goodyear all season runflats have not let me down. No hydroplaning. I just wish the rain would stay away so I can wash and hydro my baby again. Just got my gallon jug of Hydro in the mail. Looking forward to filling up my little bottle and using some slick and clarify! I am loving my mini.

The blue LED replacement lights look sick!!!! I love them!


I can't say enough good about my mini!

Amateurs.

Yes, there is possibly a story in that comment. Let's just say I was rather,....hmmmm,...patient is not the right word (although there was talk of committal procedures).....whiney. That would be it.

The most pain I have endured with Romi was waiting for her to get here.
