I know I've read it a hundred times, but don't recall and now I need the figure and it's too cold to go out to the garage and measure it!
Thanks :smile:

According to the MINI brochure:
MC - 142.8 = 11.9 ft.
MCS-143.9 = 11.99 ft.

No need to get your feetsy cold

Maybe it's a Freudian thing - 12 feet though, seems a bit excessive!


Onto the question: it's already been answered, I'll reformat:

MC = 11 feet, 10.8 inches
MCS = 11 feet, 11.9 inches

Cheers,
Ryan

My GF/Significant partner, say's the MINI is easier to get in and out of than the Miata in a mini skirt. Fun to watch her do either :smile:

I would want at least 26' currently I have 34 on one side so no problem. I am planning on parking Miata Tracker Cooper and CooperS all in the Garage. original garage is 22' x 22' rear wall removed and pushed back on 1/2 so it ends up one stall 11x22 the other 11x34 no problem. What type of Miata do you have?
