    First time I heard it (this is my first MINI) I crapped my pants thinking there was a problem with the MINI.

    Yep, mine dinged at me last night. I had to make an emergency run to my plant to get a machine running again - it alway surprises me the first time it does that!

    I would have heard every morning this week, but I chose not to drive until the sun came out and warmed things up a bit. I'm not ready for winter just yet. :nonod:

    I use to love it when all I had to do was look at it or go ski on it. Now that it means I have to shovel out a path from the barn to the pasture, dig out all the gates so they will open and break the ice out of the water buckets, I have a different view. Do they sell a front loader for the MINI? :D

    Jim, I am sure someone could fix you up on the loader, perhaps a take-off from that non-turbo engine. :D :arf:

    Mine did the same thing. Yes, even here in California. I had to figure out what the chime was for but the snowflake kinda gave it away.

    My dealer has a sweet set of winter wheels and tires for sale. :( Wish I could afford them. The winter wheels would look better than the my regular ones. LOL
