I bought my first mini last year, trading in a toyota tacoma. big change but i am having fun. ive noticed big changes in taking corners (I can go above 20), tailgating (not a threat at all in a mini), and my dogs have grown exponentially! I have taken out the rear seat, looking to sell if anyone is interested, and either will be making a kit or purchasing a kit to cover where the seat was. Latest thing has been my door not opening from the inside but due to this great forum I have found a way to fix it!
