key, gas cap, steering wheel(ech), leather seats, spedo, tach(ech again), rear view mirror? tailpipe(s)? brake lights? Turn Signals? Grill? Logo? Shifter? Change holder? Glovebox (is it really climate controlled?)? Anything?

Just the whole blessed thing?

Curious.

I love upshifting at 5-6K RPMs

And the way my foot easily hits both the brake and the gas on downshifts.

NO OTHER CAR can be this much fun to drive. I used to have a BMW M3, and now I wonder what I spent the extra $25K for!

It's the package, from the looks to the handling and braking to the interior and the little things like speed sensitive volume and wipers and the theatre dimming lights. Just great overall.

It's the status and the heritage... and it looks great, too!!

MINIclo · Aug 14th, 2002, 12:32 AM

Haven't got mine yet -- due in Port Hueneme, Cali 8/20 --but every single time I see one, it makes me grin with happiness!

I like the "face" (grille), the headlights, the chrome bits, the retro bonnet with its cool little "pleat" down the center, and the wide stance from the rear really gets to me! I love the interior's fit & finish and design, the profile leather with its raised dots, the nice storage space with the back seats down.

Hmmm...have I forgotten anything? I love the variety of ways MINI offers to personalize them, too!

Cheers!

I like RaSER X's mini!

Of course, I also like everything about mine.

It is the little things but what I really like is going out to the garage every morning and seeing that happy smiling face. Put's me in a great mood.

It's the bulldog stance!

Igor would like to put his fetish, but it is of the wrong type

xplode · Aug 14th, 2002, 08:14 AM

the fact that you instantly spot its heritage, just after one quick glance, eventhough when put next to each other the Mini and the MINI probably don't have one line in common.

I have a fetish for washing it. And driving it. And looking at it. And washing it again. Then driving it some more. Looking at it afterwards. Washing it later. Driving it after that. Looking at it some more....

...I think you get the point

MINIMatthew · Aug 14th, 2002, 01:36 PM

I've got a MINIjewel fetish... does that count?

Well, the car's nice too I guess....

Clutch Cargo · Aug 14th, 2002, 02:09 PM

Biggest thing, is the size. Next would be the whole attitude around the car.
