Sharp looking MINI welcome to the forum and MINI ownership. You will love it. Do the roads in your area have enough turns and hills to get the full benefit out of your new MINI? Also I hope the fact that the steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car works for you.

It is not on the correct side for us in 'Merica.

That was a set-up comment. The steering wheel on a Mini has been on the wrong side long before it was where we 'Mericans expect it. Some might say that the way it was for 50 years might make it correct. Don't try to make me think logical.


Just trying to be funny. I would not have made a comment about a right hand drive vehicle if it was not so clearly right hand drive to begin with and that the adaptation was clearly done to facilitate our needs.
