In 2012 Roadster, WHERE do you put "stuff"?

Other than the glove boxes, I don't see a lot of places to put "stuff". Where do you put things like loose change, sun glasses, garage door opener, parking cards, etc?

Cup holders, door bins, the "secret compartment" above the glove box, the small shelf behind the seats, and there's always the lockable pass-through to the boot. Depends how valuable the "stuff" is and whether you're worried about someone lifting it out of your car if you left it with the top down.

Change- in the covered ash trash kept from my 2002 mini
Sun glasses -sit in the cubby below the radio
GDO - on the visor
Parking card - in the door
GPS - upper glove box
Wind screen- in the bag in the trunk

Don't forget the little net thing under the dash, on the middle console. Thinking of rigging a few more of these up on the rear section behind the seats. If you have the arm rest there is another spot to stash things.

I'd forgotten about that. In my 2007 MCS and the Roadster my wife uses that for her camera all the time when we're out.

Thanks for those suggestions. And thanks, Admenergy, for asking. I'd been wondering the same thing.

My4thMini: "Ordered 3/12 - Complete 3/24 - Set sail 3/29 - Delivery 3/14"
Fascinating. Must have been some kind of time warp!

Thanks, let us know what you hear. I'm wondering when the accessories will become available.

Bah, no go.
'Hi John. Sorry but I wish I could order the UK stuff but unfortunately we cannot get any of it.'

So who in the UK wants to be a middle man supplier ;-)

If anyone wants stuff from the UK just let me know - those bags are pretty expensive (everything MINI is!) but look worth the money. I've already ordered one for myself

Well, as a Dexter fan, now Dex can finally dump the Escape and use the roadster for hauling those bodies. They area chopped up nicely so the will fit in the trunk nicely.

I just watched the last episode from last season.. Boy this going to be a great new season.

Back on topic, I don't put stuff anywhere as of yet, my MA is still 'working' on my quote for over a week now. Time for a new MA I think. I'm in no real rush as I'm told September delivery for a JCW. But still the 'computer issues' are getting old as an email status update.

O7pepperS, a week for a quote is ridiculous. Good luck. I hear they are really limiting supply so it may take a while. I enjoy my Roadster very much.

Thanks I keep sniffing out online inventory so if something catches my eye.. also I might move to the S to safe $$ and an earlier delivery time.
