They said my Camden did not come with the Mission Control installed from the factory but they will order it and install it for me when I go in for my 1k oil change.

Dealer made good on it, so I am happy.

1k oil change? They are gonna do it for you, or you requested it and are paying for it?

I asked them to do a free oil change while I am in there as a courtesy for my trouble....

Hey Camden guys! My wife and I have been fascinated with the mission control system that you guys got and was wondering if I could bribe one of you to send me the mp3 file of the guy saying "Let's Mini!!!!".

I might even be willing to admit that I am jealous of your Camdens

I like them, they are nice wheels but expensive, I thought of selling them for a while and put the stock silver wheels back on the car, after a month I changed them back to the OZ, I like the blacked out look better. I use 215/40/18 tires

really? 215/40/18? I guess it would be more comfortable. Oh where did you get the JCW bodykit? Did you get it from a dealer? Been looking around for one.

It's really kindof cute at first... And definately makes you giggle. But I have to say, it does get a little obnoxious after a while when you've heard the same stuff over and over...

And also... I don't like having my windows open, and then be at a stop light, and have mission control decide to have a whole conversation with each other with the people in the car next to you looking over with the "what the..." faces.

I live in Pasadena Ca, I got the JCW bodykit (stage 1 kit, so no air ducts and no updated splitters) about 6 months ago from Mini of Monrovia, they matched Morristown Mini dealer advertised price and they offered to paint it for an extra $650.00.

They said they could install it for an extra $1k , I said no thanks.

I don't know if you can get it for that price anymore from a Mini dealer, But I know you can order the stage 2 body kit from UK for about $2k, factory painted and delivered to your door.

Thanks MidnightMini,
I had no idea how many complements this car would get. People stop me all the time to say how much they like it. I wanted a mini for years and am so happy I have one now.
