I thinks we all deserve medals. My mom rode in my chili red cabrio for the first time. She's from Detroit. She wanted to know what the big deal was about the car. It wasn't any different than riding in a Saturn. I had to refrain from throwing out the window because she is already in a wheel chair. I tried to explain to her the camaderie amongst MINI owners and she said I already belonged to a church. WHERE"S my MEDAL?

Still works, just checked it. Make sure you allow pop-ups.

After requesting a "Black Box" from MINIUSA over the Thanksgiving holiday, I finally received it today!--eight weeks by my count. Too bad I already used a "work-around" to find the secrets. I'm still waiting for that last prize though.

Since I bought my MINI in September (after the campaign started), I e-mailed MINI USA through the Owner's Lounge with my name, address, and VIN. They responded fairly fast with a follow-up e-mail, but like I said, the Black Box took about eight weeks to get to me.

Got mine today but I'm worried. It weights about 1.234 ounces and they recommend mounting it in your car. DO you think I should remove while racing to save weight?

Good point! And the recommended location, way up by the rear view mirror is certainly going to raise the CG. Tradeoffs, there are always tradeoffs.:impatient
(note that I don't have mine yet)

I take it back - got mine in the mail today!!
