Finally my Mini Cooper (chili red/black with black strips and mirror caps) is here! Took forever! Pics will come soonish.

I'm a bit upset cause as I was driving it home a small chip appeared from a rock on my window right in front of me. Ugh! I didn't have to wait long for a chip! Ugh!

But, SO glad it's here! I am worried though that the gas gage isn't working right as it only shows missing one bar out of ten and I have gone 115 miles.

 

Congrats!

Yup. First of many rock chips..... Have fun motoring tho...

 

Hey the gauge is correct at around 100 miles I lose the first bar... Congrats buddy pics soon you are going to love the MPG!

 

Enjoy your new car. Don't worry about the gas gauge in my experience the 1st bar represents around 3 gallons.

 

Gas Guage is right!! Keep Motoring and stop thinking!!

 

For some reason chips always happen in front of the driver! Its never in the corner or out of the drivers view....

 

Congrats on getting your MINI. LOVE YOUR COLOR. Pity about the chip, perhaps the dealer can fix it at a good price? Enjoy the motoring.

CROC 411

 

Congrats Julian and great color choice

But that does suck to hear about the rock chip in your windshield already.

 

Congratulations! Can't wait until I can say the same thing! Well, can't wait to say, "My Mini has arrived," that is.

 

Is your mom happy, did she end up getting a car too, she was so sweet when we talked

 

Enjoy your new MINI. How horrible about the rock chip -- that sucks. I'm freaking when I get a smashed bug on my front grill so I can imagine how you feel.

 

My mom didn't get a mini Cybergypsy. And I won't let her. But she can't get on as she can't fit all her equipment for work in it. I am trying to convince her to get a Prius (*ducks from throwing objects*). It gets 45 on the highway compared to her Camry that gets 25. That's almost like almost double!

I love the car, OMG it's SO MUCH MORE FUN then a clubman (that I test drove. No regulars to test drive, they were sold out!) I love the car sooooooooooo much. I gotta find out how many gallons this thing holds so I can see how much MPG I get cause I am STILL one bar down at 130 miles.

I think my ONLY complaint is the center armrest. No room to put stuff in it. And I wish they offered complete blockage for the sunroof. LOL!

 

Cardboard, cut to size, will perform this function admirably.

 

Can't say i didnt warn you about the sunroof :(.....I got 40.1 MPG on my first tank, let me know what you get I had a pruis and love it make sure you get a 04 and above the AC runs off the electric not the gas

 

Congratulations JP! I picked mine up yesterday and took the REAL test drive today. Holy smokes--is that car a blast or what???!!!! Congratulations. I'm not at all lying when I say I know how you feel--dare I say, 'Oh, What a Feeling'!...

 

Oh... it's not bothering me... yet! I just think it should be closed, or open. Not halfway. That goes for ALL sunroofs.

I'm a night person so, it really isn't bothering me yet!
