The lady at the other end says don't worry about it Try again and if I get the same display go to customer service. Don't worry about getting a ticket (yea right). Anyone else had this????

I had it happen a coupla of times. If they mail you a ticket, you just send back a copy of your latest E-ZPass statement and all is forgiven.

In NY the have cameras mounted at the toll booths and if the transponders don't read for some reason they still deduct the charges. Don't worry, they'll find you! I did have a couple of tags that I've had to turn in because they stopped working. Sometimes the one I have now doesn't read, but 90% of the time it does.

I love EZ Pass! It's great zipping through when everyone else is stopped.

Ours worked fine the first time through the NH system. Of course we have NY EZ-Pass .
Leave it to our fine state to only have one useable lane at each set of toll booths. When we went through last weekend it probably would have been quicker to pay the toll with cash. In NY you can use any lane you want.

Don't worry, Jason. It's the MINI Configurator's fault.

If you look at the new grey in the showroom color sample rack, you will see no traces of brown. However, a new "leathery" brown is actually due out in 2007. I think they are calling it "Buster Brown".

Huh. My inside sources have told me it's going to be called "Bondage Brown". Something to appease the Liquid Yellow crowd.

How about this, Jason; For your benefit, we'll continue to call Velvet Red "Brown", and Royal Gray will be "Taupe", okay?

Actually, I kinda like the Royal Gray, but it's pretty lame that you can't get a white roof with it...

How long before the brown ones rust away and are gone forever? You gotta figure that more than a few BMW employees lost their livelihood after the debacle of brown............"Ya boss, brown's gonna be real big this year, wicked big! I'll bet my job on it!"

Brown is the new pink.

Grrr.. Mrs Monkeyhanger is gonna cross the atlantic coming to you lot about calling her car brown!

Not really - she's coming to the other side for a week in Vegas

Attention: please try to avoid MINI of Peabody tomorrow! Their lot is being re-surfaced so there is nowhere to visit, and their service bays are full (two levels) of new cars!

[bethandlouis]

Pink is the new orange, actually. I have no idea what all this really means, I'm not a fashionista.

Thanks for the heads up Ian. I will be back down this Friday to have the climate control fan looked at again.
