Oh Oh Oh, I know where that is. It is the parliament building in Canberra. I recognize the flag pole. I have been there. Very cool building.

EBMCS03 · Jul 25th, 2003, 08:08 PM

thats a sweet place to take pics of the MINI

Harry Morant · Jul 26th, 2003, 07:11 AM

You can usually get closer but for some strange reason they don't like cars stopping just outside the nations parliament building at the moment

MoonPie · Jul 26th, 2003, 01:13 PM

not sure if the MINI is clean, this was taken down in North Carolina at the Dragon Run...

Hey Jim! Yeah, it was a pretty nasty ordeal. I got in an accident on June 6, it was a hit-and-run, the other driver was drunk. The wheel took most of the impact and the entire cradle underneath the car needed to be replaced. I just picked up my MINI from the shop earlier this week & it feels better than ever.

Thanks for asking Jim, I really appreciate your concern!

Be safe!

-Eric

not being nosy-- but is the mini fairly safe in an accident? i was just wondering as i have my small boys with me most of the time. seems it would hold up better as less sheet metak - more safety bars/bags in them

Hi MISSCBABY! I've read a lot of threads about accidents that people have had in their MINIs. I don't recall ever reading one in which the person was actually hurt. I would say it's a pretty safe car.

(sorry guys for going off topic)

misscbaby · Jul 27th, 2003, 03:09 PM

thanks eric... good! have had it less than 5000 miles and travel alot with kids (very active- cub scouts- karate class normal boy stuff) but have to go to nashville often- and those people refer to it as crashville. if it rains- they crash. have to go to nashville to bmw dealer to get it serviced etc so was thinking i had asked about roll bags/ air bags when purchased.-- that and it just looks cool

z3bum · Jul 27th, 2003, 11:52 PM

My liquid yellow Cooper has the VA tag 'MINI XTC'!

Smurfn · Jul 28th, 2003, 02:13 AM

OK, based on feedback here and at my office, I went for it and ordered my first ever vanity plate. "MYSUV" for my 2004 DS/B MCS which is scheduled to be built the first week of September. Which should work out just about right as the plate takes 12-14 weeks. Even if no one else laughs here in the states where everyone thinks bigger is better, I will at least smile every time I see it. Of course I would probably be doing that anyway just because of the car itself.

jimskater · Jul 28th, 2003, 03:55 PM

Good for you David!

Enjoy & here's hoping the waiting doesn't get to be too much to handle.
