Well! Did you listen to the tune Zwoman? It's SIRRON BTW. The seat covers are shown in the pics and the link is on this site, page 14 MEMBERS' MINIS. Good luck with your new toy. Ron

Sirron - Sorry about that!!! I'll look for the link. Did you get the leatherette or leather? I'm getting the leatherette, and I think it'll be really hot especially with the sunroof. If I can get some cool seat covers, I might opt for that. Thanks for your feedback, Sirron :smile:

Trust me, I know...but shoot, so much heat will get in from the perforated shade-pull that what does it matter! I heard they're going to have an option later for a solid shade-pull. I'll have to buy it later and get it installed. In the meantime, I've been thinking of possibly hanging something cool on the roof to cover it up. Actually, by the time I get my car, it'll probably be a bit more bearable. The sunroof blends so well w/the black roof, too...didn't you get one for your Lil' Yellow???

Holes in house roofs and car roofs are trouble! Ron

Thanks for the mention Ron :smile:

I'd have to agree on the possible problems with sunroofs. While they're nice and everything, they're a great extra way for someone to try and break into your mini and if you accidentally leave it open on a hot day that turns wet (more likely here in the UK than in California), you end up with an in-car swimming pool. (Our driver's side window hadn't closed completely when we recently put Little Nellie through a jet wash with potentially similar results).

Our mini, Little Nellie, came with the white roof (thus the name as she reminded us of the Autogiro in the James Bond film) and even in a British summer you end up with a really hot car if you leave it out in the sun for too long (thankfully we got fabric seats).

One of the mixes of Little Yellow Mini (The Jaffa Mountain one) was done by my brother Adam, and the actual single is about to be released properly this week. We're taking Little Nellie down to the launch party on tuesday.

When you get your mini, remember to send us some pics to put on the Deadbeat Radicals site seemunkee. We're putting together a little yellow mini page for proud mini owners to show off a bit :smile:

Update: We've now got the video for Little Yellow Mini on the site (the broadband version is having a few server problems but the modem version should be fine) staring 'Little Nellie' and 'Mini Mini' (a radio controlled stunt mini, we don't all drive like lunatics in the UK )


I've also added the Mail us a Mini page to the site with the first pics of people's Minis.

Glad you like it :smile:

Deadbeat Radicals are currently trying to get a recording deal, so the current tour is limited mostly to gigs in and around London. But if anyone knows a Mini driving record company exec, let us know!

The Little Yellow Mini single can be ordered online through http://www.changesone.co.uk or direct from the band, email sharon@deadbeatradicals.com for info.
