I presume after all the probs you had with your CVT, they must know you very well down at the dealership. Is that how/why you decided to become a MMA?

Say Hi to Lori for me.

Actually, I should give her a call. It's been almost exactly a year since I got on her waitlist for a MINI. One year later and it's got 20,600 miles on it.

"Motoring Advisor"

Hmm. Is that MINI-speak for "Car Salesman?"

Either way, congrats.

Sweet Deal....this is something I have thought about doing since I bought my MINI. Let us know how you found out about the position, how you hired in - all of the details.

(cross post)
Am i reading this right? antsmini is nyillustrator is now a mini car salesman?? I recall some remarkably negative invective from nyi regarding his car. Now selling them? Did your profound disappointment w/the car and customer service come up in your interview process? Do tell about your conversion?!?

What part of "Govt" do you work for,??,Sure is not the Federal Govt"!..Have to work 41 years and 11 months to get 80% of Salary and is only if you R in the old plan..Pre-1984!! Also if you were 45 you would take a 20% hit" for not being 55 again under the "old" plan,,New plan if far less generous!!,,Must be a State or local Govt position? (I too plan on looking into a job with Mini after I retire in a little over a year, ..but probably would not make all that much $'s because of limited supplies of Mini;s..

This is too ironic to pass up. All in good fun.....

Hope your memorable November post isn't your sales pitch !

"..... This is by far the worst car Ive ever purchased......and vow to bad mouth this car as much as possible. There is just no excuse for such *censored* car..... So a word to anyone thinking about buying this pretty looking LEMON! Dont."
I don't want a re-cap of the horrendous thread/attack that pursued your understandably frustrated post. It's great to see that you've overcome the horrible tranny problems and come to enjoy your MINI. What changed your mind? How ironic that you went from MINI hater to MINI employee--That's awesome! Now you can make sure no one else goes through your same frustrations.

Motor on!

Congrats!

Why did I think you where an Illustrator? Is that a side job or something?
