CONGRATS!!!

I'm sooo jealous!

I must confess... I actually saw it in Kingsway on Tuesday arvo when I was picking up the BMW from service. There was an M6 behind it and yet I couldnt keep my eyes off your's. Now I really wan't one.

Once again... Lovely car!

mister.t · Jun 15th, 2007, 12:56 PM

Sounds great!!! Can't wait for piccys

bugiz · Jun 15th, 2007, 11:30 PM

The M6 was gorgeous wasn't it? hmm.. But I must say MINIs have their own unique way of stealing the show. I know I know, the M6 is no doubt a beauty but it's more a technological showcase, gigantic brakes, V freaking 10 and what not.. But with MINIs however it's all about the character isn't it, the cuteness of it... you just can't bring about yourself to hate the MINI.. while cars like M6, envious ppl like myself would find fault with it.. but don't get me wrong I would love to es an M6 under my xmas tree

I babled on quite a bit there... but i'm sure you guys know what i'm yaping about.

mister.t · Jun 16th, 2007, 11:38 AM

The M6 is a technological marvel, but I couldn't bring myself to spend that money on a BMW. £80k odd!!! Im sorry it may be good, but I don't know why, I just couldn't. Especially when I could have a V8 Vantage or and XKR for similar or slightly less money. Better still, and M5 for sub £50k?? Where do I sign

Micky - i agree with what you are saying. After the bucket load of trouble I had with the cooper, I thought I wouldn't do it again, but meh.

Next one will be a hugely more expensive load of trouble - a Cayenne

Michael · Jun 16th, 2007, 01:41 PM

Yeah, put me down for one Vantage thanks! Me aint greedy!

Robot Features · Jun 16th, 2007, 05:08 PM

Congrats Bugiz!!! You lucky think you!!!

Hey when you say the ipod intergration, are you referring to the standard option within the Chili Pack? The AUX connection, not the USB?

Mic

Smurfn · Jun 16th, 2007, 10:04 PM

Congrats Bugiz, sounds great

bugiz · Jun 16th, 2007, 11:40 PM

Nah, RobotFeatures...
I was actually talking about USB iPod integration... and I controlled the iPod via the Sat-Nav...
Seriously guys, if u guys have an iPod... iPod+Sat-Nav is the best combo... worth the money

Robot Features · Jun 17th, 2007, 03:44 AM

Dude i'm spewing!!! I've decked out my mini big time, spending some big coin on it! One of my first priorities was the ipod attachment. When i opened the catalogue and chose all my options i saw the AUX ipod attachment included within the chili pack. I thought this was the 'Ipod attachment'.

Where is this USB option?? Is it listed in another catalogue????

Ah i'm angry now!!

bugiz · Jun 22nd, 2007, 02:13 AM

It's not on the list there's where it's tricky!!
It's a dealer install option so just ask the dealer to do it for you. Kingsway did a fantastic job with mine. I'm sure they can do it up there in Sydney.

Robot Features · Jun 22nd, 2007, 02:42 AM

How much did you pay all up?

Does the memory cope well if you have say more than 3000 songs ?

bugiz · Jun 23rd, 2007, 02:12 PM

I'm not sure about the price as it's work into a package thingy..
But as for the memory.. don't worry about it.. i've got an 80Gb iPod and i've about 20Gb worth of songs so far..

Robot Features · Jun 24th, 2007, 12:16 AM

There's an active thread with people baggin the usb ipod attachment. saying it takes long to load and you cant have anymore than 224 artists etc. Is this true?

I've been quoted $850 for the attachment

Hey my car has hit the shores.

I should have within a couple of weeks.

85NIXMIN · Jun 24th, 2007, 01:20 PM

oooh... you got any pics yet

Robot Features · Jun 25th, 2007, 01:46 AM

heheheh... na... nothing as yet. will post as soon as i get.

bugiz · Jun 26th, 2007, 03:26 AM

Nice RobotFeatures, keep us posted with ur car..
as for your question, nah, so far so good.. no problems..

Robot Features · Jun 26th, 2007, 04:26 AM

Hmmmm i've already spent a huge amount of cash on the car. I might leave the USB attachment for a future upgrade. I'm sure the Aux will be fine for now.

bugiz · Jul 22nd, 2007, 11:37 AM

PICS!!!

Mother Nature has finally granted Melbourne a fine weather that we so rightfully deserve.. so I decided to washe the car and here are the pics... Again I would like to stress to any potential SS buyer, pictures don't do the SS enough justice... see it to believe it's beauty

To the nice and friendly mods, sorry for the size of the pics.. trust me i've tried my best to figure out a way to shrink this but just couldn't
