Think you have door lock problems? Thailand's finance minister had to be sledgehammered out of his BMW limo today when the computer crashed with the doors locked.

That would've been scary!!!

I have heard of some members being stuck inside their mini's, but not recently. I think some of them may have been atributed to the rain getting into the electronics.

Now cars will also need a CTRL+ALT+DEL to fix their computer problems...

Sorry, couldn't help that one, haha..

I'm still afraid of getting locked inside of things. My worst fear would have to be the things on roller coasters that hold you down, if mine wouldn't open, now that would be scary!!!

Next we'll have to take our MINIs back to our dealers every month to get the latest service pack and bug-fixes.

Oh, wait a minute....

it was all fun and games until i read the following:

microsoft ... enhances the driving experience

now it all makes a scary sort of sense. i'm very passionate about two things, my love for the MINI, and my ...intense dislike (read odium) for microsoft. here's hoping idrive never makes it into the MINI, and that the software already in it isn't ms-tainted...

ick.
