What CD will you listen to when you pick up your new Mini?
It depends on the color!!
If it's Red? The Rolling Stones.
If it's Silk Green? Brian Ferry.
If it's British Green? Jethro Tull.
If it's Yellow? The Beetles of course...

I think I'll have to break out the old eighties stuff for mine.
Burning down the House.
SAFETY Dance
Whip it
etc.

It just seems fitting to me....

Course that won't last long so I'll move to the classics ie. Stones, Zep, and the Beatles.

Not really a THRASH METAL fan but its got to be "ONE" by Metallica from "AND JUSTICE FOR ALL". If I get the HK audio upgrade with 8 speakers etc, this should be a real good test...

..maybe something by THE THE or New Order...

Because I ordered the HK upgrade in my Dark Silver w/ Black Racing Stripes "S", I'm thinking that the only real choice for the 1st CD in the car has to meet the following criterion:

Heavy,
Fast,
Hard,
British,
Classic,
and most of all - Emotionally Driven.

Yes, I'll be spinning Motorhead!

Has ta be something ska, Madness, Specials, or maybe something newer like 311, though the Pixies is a great idea( compiling my cd case now ) The White Stripes would be approriate( especially" fell in love with a girl" just replace the word girl with MINI in your mind and voila)

The cd in my case that says...mini. A mix including Nick Drake, Stone Temple Pilots, incubus, and Janes Addiction!

Anyone heard the stock cd player yet? Should I keep my Kenwood?

Just went out last night to get six new CD's for the changer. First up is the Beatles "One" album, followed by New Riders of the Purple Sage, the new Bonnie Raitt, a Hendrix anthology, CSNY's Deja Vu, and Simon and Garfinkel's greates hits.

OK, OK, so I'm stuck in the past! That's why I got my Mini after all, isn't it?

Just a thought,
Mr. Toad

I think Madness, yeah, "One Step Beyond" is the perfect song for cruisin in my new mini. After that maybe a little Toots and the Maytals or something.

I haven't ordered or even test driven one yet, but WHEN I do(not if, when) I will probably play my Nuggets CD, a collection of 60 psychdelic garage bands.

Any of you ska fans getting the checkerboard roof? Can you get it with the sunroof?

The Who would be my appropriate choice. Although Fishbone or the English Beat would be fine as well.

Can you think of a better SKA tribute than a black mini with the checker board roof blasting Madness, Skaflaws, Pie tasters, Bad Manners, etc...

I can't wait!!

Just had a flashback to the late 80's and thought of another great idea for a first song...."Jesus built my Hotrod" by Ministry the Redline Whiteline version!!! To quote " :evil: dinga ding danga dang a dong ding dong dinga ding dang a dong..." I guess you had to be there Oh my misspent youth

I guess it have to be something mellow like Pink Floyd. It takes 1200 miles to break it in so I wouldn't want to get all pumped up!

Hmmm....
First off Floyd, which one's Pink? Comfortably Numb! Then once I pinch myself and wake up the tribute has to go to Black Sabbath, then on to Alice Cooper Got you under my wheels.

You guys do realize, we are really dating ourselves. What the heck this is FUN!

While we were too nervous with our new baby to pay attention to the radio as we drove off the lot, the next day for our first fun drive along Hwy 1 north of San Francisco, we popped in Cake's Prolonging the Magic...starting with "Satan is my Motor"

Motor On!
