I had a dealer (not a Mini Dealer) give me a loaner. It was a Ford Explorer, I asked them if they had anything bigger like an Excersion, you know since my Mini's so big and I'm so use to driving a big car.

Are your paint issues related to the wiper fluid? Mine is going in for windshield/seats/paint issues tomorrow and would love to know what your dealer is going to do about the paint if it is for the same reason. Thanks!

hmm... definitely get that fixed. be sure to check the alignment of the boot when you pick up the car.

They gave me a 2006 MCS as a loaner while my 2002 MCS was in the shop...
Talk about temptation....That 2006 is a totally diffrent car.....Still love my 02 but man that 06 is tempting....(IMHO the perfect evolution of the R53)
