We have a new forum!
Just thought I'd start things up here on the new regional MEXICAN forum, so CHOBE, MEXMINIME or anyone else for that matter, feel free to post!
You might also call this the "Free Spanish lesson forum" so feel free to post in Spanish, English or Spanglish... (We'll keep it clean)
-Oh, and thanks to mferguson for creating this forum!

Yay, thanks for the Mexican Forum. So far three Mexicans, let´s hope more join us.
I actually have two questions for either Mexicans or people who drive on rough roads. Does the Mini have interior rattles? should i specially check something when I receive the car? (So far after Calvin77´s experience with the trunk release, I have that one on my list.
The other question goes to people who have installed the metallic trim in the bumpers, how expensive is it in the US and how do you install it?
Thanks
Tic... Tic... Tic... waiting for my Mini... they gave me a next week date, let´s hope it comes for "Reyes" (wizard kings) after all it´s toy, right?

Hi.. I am from Monterrey Mexico, thanks for this forum, i have been surfing "mini
online" and it is greate. i have my mini cooper pepper (silver & black) for about
2 months 1,800 km. it has been incredible fun. to answer one question, yes we have
a few bad roads and streets and yes I have rattles, one is in the trunk and the
other on the back left side that I can't locate (is not the sefty belt). I have a question if I change tires, can the ride be smoother, and if so what kind and mesure. Excuse my english....A mini fan in Mexico

Bienvenido:
De lo que comentas de la llantas puedes hacer un poco mas confortable el manejo de tu coche cambiando tu medida de rines y llantas a un rin 16 o incluso rin 15, toma en cuanta que cuanto mas pequeño es el rin el coche tendrá mas tendencia a retardar la velocidad de giro (dar una vuelta brusca) y la inclinación del chasis será mayor provocado por la inercia.
Saludos.

Bienvenido al foro!
Me encanta Monterrey, estuve a punto de mudarme para tu tierra hace un par de meses, anduve por ahi un tiempo de paseo y hechandole la mano a un amigo con la campania de gobernador de su papa.
De lo de las llantas, como dijo Chobe efectivamente al ponerle rin 15 o 16 el manejo se vuelve mas suave aunque sacrificas un poco de agilidad de curveo.
Te recomiendo que primero cheques la presion de tus llantas, ya que cuando me entregaron mi coche de la agencia el primer dia, las llantas estaban un poco sobre-infladas y esto provoca una pesima sensacion de "rebote" al manejar, al bajarle la presion a sus niveles recomendados el manejo se volvio infinitamente mas suave.
Suerte!

Rough Roads
Driving in Mexico can be a lot of fun if you know your way around. The rough roads can be challenging as you do not want bang up your mini but nonetheless improve your driving skills. I know my way around Tijuana and the Baja really well, great place to take a Mini on a road trip!!!
