New to the MINI Family...
Hey ya'll, I'm Brad... 22, from Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
This past Saturday, my parents went out to Birmingham, and picked up this beauty. She's a 2005, but only has about 6,200 miles... To us, this is by far the coolest car on the road.
Our neighbors have a yellow '05 Mini, too, so perhaps we can race them out the driveways on the way to work?
One thing that we've run across, though, is that when we're approaching the car and want to have it drop the windows and pull back the roof, it either doesn't respond to our holding the key, or only does so partially (even with the button being held firmly down). We have this problem with both keys, but my dad's seems less responsive in particular. My theory is that the batteries on the keys are likely dead and dying, as they go to a car that hasn't hardly seen the road in 2 years... If anyone could help us on this one, we'd appreciate it.
Anyway, the vehicle is lovely... I have always had bad road anxiety, but I've found myself driving this more than my mom and dad, both. Dad has already ordered a "Mini Parking Only" sign, and I've got the Badge Holder and a couple of badges on the way, too.

Well, we aren't sure which options are on it, but it still has 2 years left on the Warranty, so that's a huge plus... we think it has the Sport Package and a possibly the Comfort or Cold Weather package, as well. We're hoping to do a bit more research (if we ever stop driving it!) to figure out what all it came with, and what was added to it.
The MINI is beautiful
