Has anyone else got a blow-up mini? From the early learning centre i believe yet is used as quite possibly the coolest guest bed in my flat. When the sun comes out it will undoubtedly double up as the paddling pool that it was originally intended to be. My sister got me this as part of my pressie for my 21st, was just wondering if anyone else has gone to such extremes of mini love....................... which in all honesty verges on needing help!

So if you thought polls on sexuality were as far as we could all go, then i ask you does anyone take pleasure from their blow-up mini?

Hi

I have spent most of the night in one. i was at a mates 18th and she got one. they are so cool! . all i remember is having way too many beers and falling in and out of it. Anyone who hasn't got one needs one for the summer! got mine 2 weeks ago.

A fellow blow-up mini man! Is yours in red much like mine? Got my little blow-up beast a while back now so wonder if they've brought out any different colours. Have you found that ladies have been particularly impressed with it? or that they think you're a complete sad loser? got to say my experience has been the first of the two. Although that may just be the reaction at one of my mates who always loves to crash in it!

hello

i spoke to a friend about these "blow up minis" and i have beeninformed that you can only get it in red. He works at a early learning centre and if anyone is interested i can sort a discount out depending on how many people want one ..

lol......group buy of blow up minis for summer

[cooper7]

Are you real???? Have we just somehow created a group buy for blow up minis???????

Seriously everyone should get one of these as not only are they complete comfort centres when filled with a copious amount of duvets but they double up as a paddling pool when the sun comes out for the couple of days each year.

With this discount in mind perhaps i should start planning how i can inflate one on a higher level and fix some sort of slide so i can look like im doing stunts from one water filled mini to the next!

i have a friend who works in early learnign centre im sure we could manage to get some sort of discount if people wanted some..

if people are interested please leave your name or get someone to make this sticky

i would be more than happy to help out

Even with a group buy wouldn't the price still be over inflated.Now that could be a real let down.

[cooper7]

Genius! How mint would it be if we others joined the inflatable army??? On a scale of 1 to 10 it's probably about a 2 but none the less its a very kind offer.

I'll be more than happy to post some pics as soon as i get back to my flat later on in the week! How will 'the Weasel' cope if you have another mini on the side??? My PW/B cooper S arrives in 5 days so i'm going to break it to her gently that she is not the only mini in my life!

[cooper7]

Ok new scale of 1 to 10. For cringe worthy yet still inventive puns Zyo you're a 10! Good banter all the same!

Haha, I never said I was getting one

Congrats on the new 'S' lookin forward to the pics of the 'S' that is

[cooper7]

You may not of said you wanted one, but secretly everyone wants one!

Cheers, am counting down the minutes till its arrival! Am still really sad to see my beloved Cooper go although i know it's going to a good home............... my sisters

Already got the full list of mods planned, so it should be a little stunner! First things first though, a smoked third brake light
Is the PW hard to keep looking clean. Had a b/w cooper so was wondering if i'm going to get an easier time of it with the old bucket and sponge!

[zyo]

If they get wind of MINI2.com members all wanting one they may pump up their prices.Or am i just blowing things out of proportion.

[zyo]

Seriously cooper7 the PW is a damn site easier to clean(not neccessarily keep clean) than Black.I had a solid black MO and i now have a PW ONE.I got fed up with not just having to wash the car but go over it with Meguiars scratch x and polish it every time i cleaned it.On a nice sunny day with plenty of time it wasn't a problem but if i wanted to quick wash it,it was.In the shade it always looked great but in direct sunlight it looked pants unless i had polished it aswell,but the PW is brilliant if you quickly go over it,you don't get the streaks and swirl marks showing up.This is just my opinion and is not meant to offend any owners of black MINIs after all a MINI is still a MINI.

[cooper7]

Just discovered that they only cater for a hot air intake so the performance is pretty rubbish! I won't be blowin all my energy and cash on that.......................... ba boom tish

[cooper7]

Cheers for that zyo, some handy and very pleasing info ahead of me getting th little beast. What products do you use on your latest One? and what do you do about cleaning the Vipers as mine has those as well!

I've absolutely no idea where you'll get one of those from

It's not too bad, the worst bit is the back when it rains
A couple of times I've just hosed the back down and then parked it in the garage

[cooper7]

Pretty sure i've got a good idea from somewhere on how to pull off an audacious little mod like smoking the third brake light myself

Am considering smoking the rear lights as well. Currently got the BMW clear lights, can't decide....... With the vipers i think it would provide a great form and structuire to the colour contrasts used on the car.

[zyo]

Meguiars soft gel shampoo,occasionally the Meguiars clay bar and the Meguiars quick detailer and the Meguiars pack came with the cleaner wax but i know alot of people seem to swear by the Meguiars NXT wax (i think thats what its called)....................so that will be Meguiars then.

If you get the clay bar and quick detailer you will be suprised what cr@p comes off your paintwork.I first used it on my Black MO and was very impressed,i had heard talk of it but didn't know much about it,ordered it assuming that just like every other cleaning product i had tried it probably wouldn't do the job,but i was completely wrong.
Pretty much from new my MO always seemed to have an almost abrasive quality to the paintwork if i rubbed the palm of my hand across it ,and as it says on the Meguiars site ,if your paint doesn't feel as smooth as glass then it isn't clean and your putting wax or polish ontop of the cr@p and not on the paintwork.If this sounds like an advert i apologise but i was THAT impressed with the clay bar in particular.

[zyo]

The vipers i just use the quick detailer(Meguiars).......................smoked third brake light you say..........check out RESTYLE on here ,he did one on his last MCS but he masked the word MINI out of the lense which looked pretty cool
