In depth 2006 MCS review

This is a very in-depth review of the an 06' MCS, very informative.

Try not to get lost in the descriptions "got chrome in it; see that, sure enough..."

I loved it. Can beat that accent!

And even more hilarious? I learned something about my MINI that I DID NOT KNOW because of her vid.

The key clicker/window down/moonroof open option! My gosh...that's probably one of my fave quirky options! (And no, my MA did not tell me about it!)

Touche! I LOVE Georgian accents. One of my fave programs is "The Closer". Kyra Sedgwick's character, Brenda Lee Johnson, (I know YOU can say it the right...I mean raht...way) is from Georgia.

Growing up in Idaho, I have no/a vanilla accent...ummm...unless, of course, you're from Georgia and then I DO!

I think accents of all kinds are great. Y'all knoow whut ahm sayin'?

Here's to diversity!

She loves her MINI! Nothing wrong with that. But why didn't anyone tell her if she was going to spring for the leather seats and the climate control she should shell out the extra bucks for the rear fog and fill out those toggles!?

Uh, exactly the reason why we shouldn't be!

It's cute. However she doesn't realize she's going to be famous on the mini forums for that vid.
