I got a copy of it also with my Automobile magazine subscription. The funny part is that one copy of Automobile was devoted to SUV's.

Check over at bridger.us/mini as they seem to have just about anything over there.

Not as yet. So, for those of us who don't have any magazine subscriptions, what vital information is to be had on the next pages?

Actually, parking 101 is useful in preserving your MINI from getting hit in a parking lot. Wise motorcyclists always park on the outside of the parking slot so some clueless cellphone using SUV driver doesn't pull into an "open" parking slot at 25 mph only to find your bike/MINI hidden by the cars on either side and rearend you.

Eagerly awaiting the next installment.

I could have sworn there was an online Motoring manual at MINIUSA.com.... but now I can't find it. Anybody remember this?

You'll find it in the Owner's Lounge at http://www.miniusa.com
It's referred to as the Unauthorised Owner's Manual.
Enjoy.

I downloaded the Unauthorized Manual months ago, and it is NOT the same as the Manual of Motoring. Again, anybody know where to the Manual of Motoring PDF online? It's not on bridger's website either.

Don't buy this on E-bay, my delaer has stacks of them, if anyone wants one, I'll be happy to stop by and pick some up. You will have to cover the postage though.

The downloadable UOM has some of the same pages as the Manual of Motoring but not all -- and vice versa.

Thanks.
