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!

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)
