MINI2

minione1 · Nov 16th, 2003, 11:24 AM

Looking for opinions and experiences of minione or cooper owners in Singapore as to maintainance and performance issues etc.

trek · Nov 16th, 2003, 01:00 PM

Hello! I've got a red One. There's a bunch of us MINI owners with a bit of an email thing going. Send me an email and I'll pop you on the list - redmini03@yahoo.com.sg

See you!

red_k,

Ok, now I'm just GUESSING who you are! Haha! Was sick in bed so couldn't turn up at Kallang. Don't know if I'll be at the Autochallenge.. any Minis taking part?

Are YOU taking part?

red_k · Nov 22nd, 2003, 03:07 PM

I hope you are guessing who u are guessing...

nope, i am not participating, though i think there may be a session where we (minis) may be allowed to do tryouts, nothing competitive, just pure fun...

still waiting for the final word on this..

but i will definitely be there...let us know if you are popping by..

minione1 · Nov 22nd, 2003, 05:06 PM

Hi,
thanks for the welcome...hope to get to know about mini stuff before i plonk down for a mini. thanks.

minione1 · Nov 22nd, 2003, 05:17 PM

hi again

any of u people care to share any maintainance or defects so far with new minis in singapore. The increase in the discount from 3k to 5k to 8k for the mini by perf. motors indicates to me that yhey are getting rid of old 2003 stock to make way for the 2004 ones. anyone got a view ?

minione1 · Nov 25th, 2003, 11:43 AM

Hiya all

Thanks Eugene, Roger and Chee Kong for yr comments...i guess if we wanted, we would all go for the cooper S but it's pricing is out of reach at moment . sad to say but i'm quite used to autos. hmmm, don't plan to get one now, waiting for next year as heard the 2004 model coming out . besides , makes more economic sense for me cos i dont need to top up much for my current loan. I guess all cars have their gripes and it is the same with my current pajero mini - lots of faults, alchoholic but u learn to live and love it for all it's imperfections. Hey Eugene, yr blue cooper looks cool. hmm, Chee kong, how come yr mini one is thirsty ? read reviews in Autocar that the minis are light drinkers.

Hi all,

How do you like it so far?

minione1 · Dec 1st, 2003, 11:45 AM

so how , any bugs in the minione ? had any fun with it ?

DragonSean · Dec 2nd, 2003, 12:52 PM

Yes, I like it. Experience some squeaking noise from the windows. Going back to PML next week to get it fix.
BTW, any of you (MiniOne) has upgraded to 17-inch rim? I'm thinking some changing to the S-spoke 17-inch rim...it seems that 205/45R17 tires are very rare in S'pore...

trek · Dec 3rd, 2003, 12:29 AM

DragonSean,

I'm running the 15" holeys. Are you still on the steel rims? I've not met any One yet that has gone to the 17".

BanzaiGTti · Dec 9th, 2003, 07:30 AM

Hi there. I just booked my mini one last weekend. Getting it in Pepper White.

Glad to see u guys in here!

Welcome welcome!

When will you be getting your ONE? Be sure to change out your steel wheels

BanzaiGTti · Dec 9th, 2003, 08:54 AM

i sure will.

Just haven't decided which wheels to change out to. Too many choices. Decisions decisions.

minione1 · Dec 10th, 2003, 07:36 AM

Hi welcome ! do share with us your experience with the minione. your minione comes with the options ? what did u invest your $5000 or $8000 rebate on ? any sunroof ?
u bought a copy of this month's wheels ? pg 48 Starautos advert , there's a 16 inch Millenium Torino alloy rim that i think would go well with the mini.

SeeYa · Dec 10th, 2003, 02:08 PM

Hi fellow MNI lovers, I am on a bussines trip and seen a Light Blue, White roof Cooper S today strips down the side. Anyone know where to get these strips.

hey thanks. I haven't decided firmly on what accessories to get yet. A rev counter for sure. Maybe white tailights with matching white 3rd brake light and side indicators. Maybe a roof spoiler and wheels (this one is a toughie.... now do i get minilites 15s or should i get the cooper STAR 16s?). Chrome tailpipe.

What have you got on yours? And what colour?

The 15 inch holeys are the best! Light and good-looking!

BTW, it took a while before PML believed that the One's original tailpipe has to be trimmed to fit the chrome one. You should have no problems with yours since I was the guinea pig
