Gary1911A1 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 So here she is! I've had it for less than 24 hours & I love it! Couldn't get to sleep last night I was so excited, hehe. Took it for a ride to the grocery store this morning & will probably find an excuse to take it out again later I see you got the Sport Model.

twodownzero Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I guess Matt is going to have to run a sale on his custom guns now that he's got a payment to make! When's the maple leaf paint job coming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When's the maple leaf paint job coming? I soooooo wanted to get the Canadian flag on the roof! But that required white roof & side mirrors & I really didn't want them white. I like black. I don't know, maybe some custom paint shop can do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like black. I don't know, maybe some custom paint shop can do it You don't need a white roof - look for a place that does vehicle wraps (the cars/trucks covered in advertising graphics). It's all done by printing on adhesive vinyl that is applied over the paint. There might be a little show through with the black paint but that just means white areas could look slightly less bright than if it was over a light color. No regular person will notice. Just look for someone who does it full time and can show you some of the work they've done. Everybody with a large format printer is trying to do wraps these days and there is some crappy material being used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmoney Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 My wife has a Mini Cooper also. The nice thing about the Mini is if you happen to run your battery down, you can jump-start it off your Ipod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xsniper Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Is there a big difference in the gas mileage for the standard and the "S". My wife is really wanting one, and that will mean the Xterra is mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The regular Cooper model calls for better gas mileage than the "S"....but I was willing to compromise that for the turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't believe the sticker.......That is nothing more than a comparison between vehicles in the same class. Also the highway fuel economy test has an average speed of 55mph !

xsniper Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I was wondering about the extended warranty protection for the Mini Cooper. Has anybody had any experience with it and can tell it it is worth the $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
