MINI present

I want to get some ideas on what to get as a present for a mini owner that has everything? Something that would not be returned or a white elephant gift?

Not sure on how much you want to spend, but a decent "MINI" car cover would always be a welcome to a MINI owner.

Get him or her a lightinsight. It attaches to the windshield to see traffic lights without straining your neck. Not expensive and works great. Go to lightinsight.com

Not to hijack the thread, but I had no idea such a thing existed. If there's one complaint I have with my Mini, it's just that -- if a traffic light isn't on a pole straight in front of me, I get a major case of taco-neck.

Needless to say, I just ordered one o' these.

Thanks!
Ed

If you wan't something that can't be returned how about an alternator?

But seriously....as stated above, high performance driving school is the best way to improve the performance of your MINI.

Definitely a track day. Check your local BMW club or MVPTRACKTIME.com for track days in your area.

if you are going over 100 bucks, then a CAI or a cover.

Track day would be amazing.

motoring badges would be awesome

car care products are another idea.

*Go to amazon.com and buy the original and 2003 "Italian Job". Its a must have in any mini owners DVD library
