This reads like a season ending cliff-hanger! Will part two be shown later today or do we wait until next season?

The next post will state that the problems were all in a dream sequence.

Go easy there fellas...it was a first post...I'm sure he'll get the NAM interface figured out. Anyone who's owned three MINIs gets the benefit of the doubt, IMHO.

A suggestion to the Mod: might want to change the thread title from "Mini" to "MINI" to avoid confusion...

Done... along with any other thread I happen to spot where the OP didn't capitalize properly. People usually catch on eventually.
