Seems like there are lots of better reasons to hate MINI lately.

Oh hell, I remember looking at that screen (it was a little different last year).


Go back to your dealer and drive, drive, drive. My dealer knew me on a first name basis by the time I got my car.

Hate is such a powerful emotion.....I hated waiting as well. Fourteen months and worth every moment. Hang in there, all things in due time.

Hey Macnstuff, that is the reason for this post, to have a little silly fun post that does NOT have anything to do with that issue. I'm like #45? on it tho, lol.

I never even looked up my production number, isn't that something. And I was 35th on the waiting list at my dealer. I just waited until they called me. No in between test drives, no time for all that. But now I have plenty of time for motoring!

Db – The canal cam is great. I never thought about watching mine go through the Panama Canal.

Wait – I’m on the East Coast.
