R56 One thing that drives you nuts about your MINI!
Nothing really drives me nuts.
That's annoying.
I do adjust the belt and it still gets stuck. I have no idea why you think that will work.
Apart from that the iPod adapter in the 07 is just plain annoying, so I stopped using it. If it'd just remember where in the son it was when it stopped and restart from that point, it'd be fine.

The one thing that drives me nuts about my Mini is having to learn to drive the "MINI" way which tends to be counterintuitive to every other vehicle out there.Try driving another vehicle and you have to remember how everything works again!!

Adjust the belt properly and you'll never have that problem again. When you are bucked up slide the plastic thingy that is on the belt all the way to the buckle. When you get out of the car your buckle will fit into the piller out of the way.
I had the same issue with mine. Thanks NAM.

Wide legged pants catch on the seat adjuster when trying to climb out. I have hit the pavement downtown. It's quite embarrassing. And I can't see the traffic lights when I'm first in line. I ordered the little plastic thingy that refracts the light that was mentioned here on NAM somewhere, but it hasn't arrived.
That's easy, never drive anything else.
I HATE this! It always happens to me and when I take it off I forget to move it back, and it jams between the seat and door panel and leave a big ol dent on my seat and door panel.

Popcorn anyone?
Only thing about my baby I dislike, is a weird poping sound that occurs whenever I switch the car off. Regardless of how I drove it.
That and one side of my car decides it wants to be .5 PSI off from the other.
I think I ph-ail when it comes to proper tire management

The ONE thing that drives me nuts about my MINI...
That I can not drive it even more than I do now due to not wanting to have my warranty run out within the first few years of ownership (2008 new MCS JCW).
Close seconds:
That I did not order my MINI with the rear fog lights.
That due to respect, and pure unconditional love for this freakin car, I MUST wash it at least once every two weeks weather it needs it or not. Unlike myself, where I only take a shower the first week in November of each year weather I need it or not. Eww!
That my roof graphics, and just about every other thing I want to stick on my MINI costs more than Harley parts do, and these are only made of plastic!

I guess I could also add the cost of a replacement if broke or lost . I usually have 3 sets of keys for my vehicles. I am hesitant to purchase a 3rd for my mini for over $325.00 .
