My beloved Cooper has been in the body shop for two weeks after tangling with some flotsam, jetsam on the interstate.
Life has been hell without her...can't take it any longer.
I have read every post on MINI-2 3 times.
I have built a mini to scale out of match sticks.
I have gone through 500 batteries in my remote control
mini and 3 sets of tires.
I have made a fleet of oragami minis downloaded from a
website.
Just completed a "in frame overhaul" of remote control mini.
I can't sleep because of re-occuring dream of minis
jumping over a fence with sheep.
Seen "Italian Job" 17 times.
Drive by mini dealership in the middle of night to stare
at minis.
my wife is about to have me comitted to nuthouse.
I spend most of my days now staring at the phone
hoping the shop will call.
sob..weep..boo hoo...sob..weep..boo..hooo
i want my mini...

dr remulac,

We all feel your pain.

Could you pass on the url for this.
"I have made a fleet of oragami minis downloaded from a

Thanks,
Jack

And I thought I was Mini-Mad.

If I were you, I'd seek some professional help!

Just kidding, why not call the shop and see how things are going?

Dr. you do need a Doctor

Have you thought of volunteering yourself at your nearest MINI showroom and offering to clean all the MINIs for free at weekends?

At least you could drive them to the washbay....

Don't worry, I will do the same thing as you,I might even camp at the dealer just to be a Free security for them

You can come to our club web site at www.norcalminis.com, the site is not ready yet, but at least you can go to the events gallery page to check out some MINIs.

dr remulac, I once waited 8 weeks while my MINI was in the bodyshop, so I know exactly how you must feel.

The only good thing I can tell you is that when you finally get your car back, you'll get to relive the MINI experience all over again. I did not realize what a piece crap rental car I had been driving until I got behind the wheel of my MINI again. It felt soooooooo gooooood....
