I always wondered what the mission control "acceleration report" actually measures... do you guys know or guess what it might be??? We get numbers in the 2.xx and 4.xx range... but the other day we did a 12.xx

i've often wondered the same about the acceleration report in sport mode. i imagine if there were some rhyme or reason to it, it wouldn't be such a distraction when trying to have some fun.

 

I think it is timing you to 40mph, but Im not sure what exactly triggers it. My guess is throttle position (or sudden changes in throttle, ie: going WOT)... I tend to get the 12.xx when I've accelerated enthusiastically from a stop light, but quickly came off the gas and essentially coasted up to 40mph.

Just my 0.02

 

I think we are getting somewhere here... because from what I remember it only happens when we take off from a full stop. We'll have to do some "tests"

 

No Luck... I just have an empty compartment with a cloth like wire thing. That makes me sad.. I wonder If I can try to cantact a dealer or something... I feel cheated... I really would like the mission control. I am a little upset that my car is in fact an american spec and it does not have this feature.

 

That sucks, especially since you were looking forward to Mission Control... and were led to believe it was present. There's a member in this forum whose Mission Control was also absent in a US-delivered Camden and their dealer installed it. I would recommend contacting your dealer and insisting they install Mission Control.

Best of luck getting that resolved!

 

What brand wheels and what size tires did you run?

 

Yep this is what i walked up to after going to see a movie at the theatre and of course no note from the IDIOT who hit it!!! GGrrrr!!!

 

So. I'm toying with the idea of selling my Camden... I want an S wicked bad. Plus, I just saw the Hampton... DROOL-WORTHY!

And with automatics in such high demand, I actually had someone offer me $25,000. In hindsight, I think I may be an idiot for not taking it...

 

ohh man, that person was more than an idiot
they were probably drooling over your camden and they didn't notice they were getting too close.

 

I'd say go for it, as long as the person trying to buy it is legit.

 

Hey guys!

It's been a long time since I've visited NAM! Guess I was busy enjoying my MINI! But I'm also sad to report that Mercy got seriously hurt this past April... A clueless 17-year old did a U-Turn ON my car! I was most likely in this *insert adjective here*'s blind spot, and he hit Mercy at a 90 degree angle on the passenger's side. $18K worth of damage. Six - yes six - teenagers were in the other car, a Pontiac Vibe. (It looked like the Vibe would not survive the crash!) They all fled the scene, except for the driver. He was most likely impaired... After 1 month in the shop, and two months of physiotherapy for me, we are both feeling better!

Now focusing on more important issues, such as should I opt for a black/grey Union Jack (like the Camden's emblem) roof or A-Panel graphic?

Be safe out there! Cheers!

 

Has anyone lowered their Camden yet? I was thinking about giving it a meaner racing look but not sure how to do that.

Would the JCW Aero kit do that, or do I need the sport suspension also?

 

My camden

 

That looks amazing! I kind of wish I got black now! Super cool!

 

Hey strangers, does anybody know how many Camdens were made, and how many came stateside?

 

I really hate my Camden rims.


Anyone know where I can get a new front 50 badge??

 

Gonna get rid of your Camden wheels then?

Check out http://motoringbadges.com/ and scroll down a bit for a MINI 50 badge.

 

 

Very nice! Makes it look much more sporty!

 

I Can't imagine my life without the Mission Control and the Camden!

 

Welcome, jflongas! Let's see some pictures!

 

The Camden interior looks so sharp with the white! Is tech white a true white or is it more of a cream? I have some white accents and I'm wondering if a tech white colorline might need to go on the mod list. Thanks!

 

Tech White leather is a pure white rather than cream white... I agree it does look very cool, but it's a pain to keep clean! If you are curious bout the dash trim/mirror caps too, it's called Silver Lining.
