They treat a complaint about carpet mats the same as engine failure. But it makes for a fun read...

I'd much rather have "Plastic Fantastic" , i.e, the PT Cruiser convert
- NOT! They admit the MINI blows it away but then claim they can't recommend it because of "predicted" poor reliability. That's why I don't let dorks with pocket protectors pick my sports cars!!!

This is great stuff! Thanks for those pics everyone.

I plan on putting around 25,000 a year on my Mini (if I ever get to order it!!)

I can't wait to join the 100K club as well!

I think this calls for a wall of fame sticky Listing those members who have motored 100K + in their MINIs. As a testiment to their love for the car and the reliability of the car.:smile:

And here I was hoping to be #2 or at least #3....Congrats to all of you!

I'm *only* at 92,500 -ish and am not expecting to hit 100K until September. So, looks like I *might* be #4 or #5? Anyone else close?

Congrats the 100K+ mileage !!!

Doug... I got another MCS here in London and we gotta have a rematch since you kicked my butt last time on the way to Miami at 140+.

It seems the more you drive your mini the faster it gets. Just not fair!

Kesh

MOTOR ON MY BRETHRENS... MOTOR ON !
