Finally...an use for the Openometer :)
The OpenOne Challenge: http://www.theopenone.com/
Grand prize - a trip to the Mini factory in Oxford.
(via Motoring Files)
I am already level 1. Too bad my commute to work is so short, gotta make it up on the weekends.
Good luck everyone - may the most open one win.

Imagine that. The top three are now all INTERCHANGE YELLOW. I've acculumated over an hour just today, and with another 30 minutes tomorrow morning, I'll be posting yet another 1 hr and 30 minutes... This morning, it was foggy as hell with a little mist, but topless is the only way to travel.

In a perfect world, our Cabrio would have a Wifi receiver, and when it finds a hot-spot that it can connect to, it would make a Web Services call to MiniUSA, and upload the most current information to the web site in an encryped format. In this manner there's no chance of cheating, or altering the information, and best yet there's nothing to be done by us. We just log in and look at the web site to see where we are. Take it one step further, the curent GPS coordinates if you have NAVI will be uploaded, and on your map, you'll see all other Cabrio owners in the local vacinity...
We still can't get the Mini to auto fold in our mirror when we turn off the car, nor can we save our HD2 or HD2 station in the presets, so it's not likely we'll ever see a feature like that. One can dream.

Edit: it turns out that this is a MINIUSA promotion.

I was thinking the same thing as well, but ohh well. That means I have to drive topless a lot in the month of August.
I just checked the web site, and it's down for a scheduled maintenance. Strange, it's only been up for 48 hours, and they are already doing maintenance on it...
I hope they ask for VIN as a mandatory field, so they can map back actual Openmeter number to the cars sold.

Plus I stupidly forgot to take a picture just before I went for a 2 hour top down driving on Monday

Off topic: Can someone take some quick measurements of the Openometer for me? I'm making upgrade replacement lenses for the tach and speedo, and I'd also like to do it for the Openometer. This is what I'm working on: http://www.motoringunderground.com/f...ad.php?t=15022
I want to know the inner and outer diameter of the silver/chrome trim ring around the dial, and the overall diameter of the Openometer housing. Approximate measurements are fine; just eyeball it with a ruler.
