morn` all ,

from superior wisconsin and am currently enjoyin` the hell out of my `13 jcw coupe . black on black . what a incredibly fun vehicle . have dedicated wheels/tyres for winter and still on the oem runflats . can`t wait to toss them in the dumpster . had a `10 hardtop s and loved it .

i have to let everyone know i don`t buy into the britt connection . my car is german and shows it to me everyday . quit puttin` bulldogs and union jacks on everything already . i`d buy several items available to me if , they didn`t have dumb/meaningless images all over them . really . make all the same retail items but , without all the britt look . please !

o.k. get off the soap box .

i am a true mini officianato . can`t wait to track this sucker at BIR .

Hello and welcome. I understand your point. While there are probably a few American cars made in Mexico or Canada we still think of them as American. The same can be said for the MIINI. I think the reason for all the Baritish hoop-la has to do with 'tradition'. It doesn't matter where it's made, it's the most enjoyable car I've ever owned.

 

dang , jealous of your local . warm weather motorin` , always ! i hear you . it is all about the $ in the end . if the bulldog "sells" it`ll surely stay where it is . i do get it .

what mini have you ?

In January I bought the base '13 hardtop. It's my first MINI and I'm enjoying it more than any car I've ever owned.

Yes, our motoring weather is awesome. The joke here is that cars never rust, they petrify instead.
