Put a piece of tape over it. If you can't see it, it isn't real.

Wow, it was still 90 here today! The temperature should agree with somewhere in between.

Is that what the R56 does? I've never seen it, I only heard the ding once in 4 years of MINI ownership.

I lived for 10 years in the Burlington, VT area. I know the winters are not that extreme but they are LONG! That's what convinced me to move back to Florida. Good luck to you. Stay warm.

I'm not too far behind you. The winter package is a good thing.

I recommend the winter package to all my customers.. good stuff! Nothing like cozy comfort with the heat cranked to #3.

I love winter driving. It is almost as fun, if not more fun in some respects than summer driving. Note, Nebraska has no twisties.
