You Americans are a funny lot :D Cupholders :eek: LOL! :D I'm now seriously thinking of cancelling my order because it doesn't come with full coffee making services. Or even draft beer!

LOL :D

Maybe these things will be included in the 2004 issue? :confused:

The MINI is the first car I have owned that had cupholders, not to mention AC. I have found that the rear cupholder is the most convenient as the front ones are being used as phone and change holders. I am getting pretty good at reaching behind me to get my drink. That being said, I am with BruceK on this, I don't usually have anything to drink in the car unless it is water or the occasional tea. Just never found it necessary.

Also, I have found from driving my TR7, that nothing helps your concentration more than when driving when you have a scalding hot beverage between your legs.:D

sealevel, that sounds good maybe I'll show up with my wife to meet some of the people. I 'd hope the mini crowd would be friendly towards the New MINI, I for one love both cars.
