I think whoever does their website needs to be fired! (or at least read what they put on there before posting it)

The speedo has no other indicator lights. Is that an option? Looks more like a clock face, nice and smooth.

So it may have less equipment and a higher price?

What if you buy the expensive one.. Can you get the cheap one for free?

uh yea it was new when i happened. but it was 2 months yesterday that it happened. i was enjoying some spirited driving on a nice mountian road and the minis confidence inspiering handling got me a little too brazen behind the wheel and i ended up in the forest after hitting a small tree which did most of the damage to the front and right side of the car and then hit a larger tree with the roof spinning the car counterclock wise and thankfully landing on the wheels. yes the roof. the car was in the air momentarily and the nose dropped. the minis weight distribution saved me, plus the fact that its a tough little car in a crash not a tin can.
