My favorite comparison with my motorcycle in the background


Leaving East Bay Mini we got stuck at a red light.

So far she has let me drive it a good amount and I am surprised with how it drives and the amount of git' up it has. I only test drove a justa cooper, so the S is pretty awesome.

One thing the financial advisor also stated when trying to sell the maintenance plan/xtended warranty was that MINI now covers flywheel and clutch in there warranty.

 

Congratulations on your new Mini! Enjoy...

 

/\ Jealous!!!
Thank you, to bad I get to watch the significant other enjoy it for the most part. She showed her family and the first thing I over heard was it will not fit a stroller...She responded, yeah because (look and nonchalantly points at me) he will buy the baby carrier. So much for me getting a JCW White MC. It is hard not to get hooked after just one drive.

 

Congrats fergy016 maybe I'll see ya motoring around town.

 

I hope so!!!!

 

Is this something new? Or is this just 'talk'?

 

This is a part of the new maintenance plan coverage ie. tires, brake pads, windshield wipers, clutch, flywheel, etc.
I did not ask if it was back dated for past customers, but I highly doubt it would be.
Something to look into for future maintenance plan customers.

 

Don't mean to be that guy... Do you have that in writing?

 

loookin nice ... hope you guys dont get the mod bug tooo badly ... happy motorin and congrats.

 

Destiny is an automatic, did not need that service, so I did not ask for it. I am sure you can look up what the current/extended maintenance plan covers.

 

My girlfriend will be happy with it stock, I already want to lower it, get rid of the run flats, and and and...

 

Enjoy!

 

Very nice!!! Looks like you got the S version of my Desmond!

 

Congrats, Fergy!

 

Beautiful!!! enjoy

 

Well Destiny lasted a week squinting for the California morning sun. She got her stunner shades installed. 50% up front, 15% out back.

 

Looks great! I've been sitting on the fence about getting my windows tinted. Who did you use? and if you don't mind how much did it cost.

 

Only one shop in the Tri-Valley that I have used in the past 12 years.
http://www.rockymtnwindowtint.com/
It was $249 for all 5 windows, non-ceramic tint.

Main reason I wanted window tint:
Kills harshness of headlights through rear window
Will help maintain the leatherette material from uv rays
Privacy
Summertime the car will be cooler
Looks awesome!

 

Thanks so much for the info. Looked at the gallery of cars they've done WOW impressive.
