Every car I've ever had did this. What were you driving that didn't?

 

it' been at the NJ VDC for ten days now and I still don't have a scheduled delivery date

 

1) the fact that I can't lower it dayum low without getting vibrations..
2) factory seat looks ugly compare to its competitions..
3) used to hate squeaking interior but it just seems normal to me now....

 

I don't hate it...but I can't understand why, after moving the steering wheel and everything associated with that redesign for the US, they couldn't move the inside bonnet release from the right to the left. I am forever forgetting that it's not on the left. Small problem but it's just curious to me.

 

1) I really wish the rear windows opened like the ones on the Classics did...with a flip lever, to allow some flow-through of air instead of it being buffeted around inside. Even the sunroof, when cracked open, does not allow enough air in to eliminate that. 2) I also wish some sort of cowl could be extended on each side of the windshield, to allow for some outside air to get into the car when it rains. The way it is now, even a window slightly cracked open allows the driver or passenger to get soaked by the wiper squeegee-off.

Other than those two items, I'm OK with my MINIs.

 

She has this bad habit of tailgating, or wanting to! She really doesn't appreciate slow cars in front of her, and I'm trying to teach her some manners! My Saturn is incredibly polite, but Scoop is still learning!

 

The 07 R56 Coupe has it on the left. Just FYI. Gotta figure the new Cabrio will have it when it comes out next year.

I do wish the Mini had a water temperature guage. A bit of a conumdrum to me, as we think of our Mini's as sporty cars and all sporty cars have a water temperature gauge,..dunt(tm) they?

 

I don't like having to work to pay for her. Interferes with motoring time. Any rich people want to adopt?

 

You haven't slept in your MINI yet???

 

I don't like the stains that now run down both sides of the front black wheel trim molding. They are caused by the crap that seeps out from the underside of the bonnet. I'm going to wait until the warm weather is out of here and make a stop by the dealer. I hate to think that they may be tearing into my Mini already. I tried a few solutions posted on a thread dealing with this, but no luck on removing the stains myself so far.

 

The inside rear view mirror on an R56 is a fatality waiting to happen!
Can someone explain how it can be removed?

 

With a hammer?
