A couple of questions to you folks in Europe lucky enough to be able to drive the new Mini:
I have been unable to determine whether or not the passenger side of the dashboard has a glovebox, or if it is just an airbag cover. All of the great interior shots of the Min do not highlight a glovebox, nor do the UK brochures that I managed to get hold of. Now, I don't think the absence of a glovebox is a show stopper, particularly with those beautifully sculpted and very accomodating deep pockets in the doors, but, can any of you fortunate Mini owners out there answer this question?
Also, a question to you Mini experts out there: There is a wonderful narrated video in the Mini USA site featuring, I believe, the late John Cooper touting the benefits of the this wonderful car. The very end of the video shows John Cooper himself adjusting the mirror and driving off in, of all things, a new Mini. Being that he passed away in 2000, was this trick photography, or was there a Mini mockup back then? It would be comforting to know that John Cooper himself endorsed the new incarnation of the Mini.
Thanks for any input....
