Your dealer is probably concerned that if he provides you a loaner you will install a big dragon head on the roof :biggrin5:

 

Mine provides them, but there must be some kind of a "time in shop" requirement I am guessing. Mine has never been in for more then a couple of hours. I had hoped I would get a "S" loaner one day, just to see what they are like. Never driven one. :nonod:

BTW: I keep an extra Dragon decal in the boot, just in case they ever do give me a loaner. :ihih:

Wow a 1 year old 2008, that's pretty awesome! So it will still be under warranty for like 12 more years, sweet.

 

Did Babs notice that car being a bit off? I saw that loaner run over a curb at a decent clip, would hope they realign it on a fairly regular basis otherwise I am sure there would be some wild tires wear.

 

I have had my car in for service many times and NEVER got a loner. Why is that?

MAG is always good with loaners (unless you make a request) If I had $5 for every time they gave me an automatic Cooper when I asked specifically for a four door anything I could afford a new Cooper. Moving two car seats from one Mini to another Mini is a total pain in the backside.

 

Does every dealer keep a black car in the rotation just for you?

Also the Minis would not have bothered me except they gave me a 3 sedan the first time I took the car in after Digs was born and it was so nice, then after that never again

 

Now there is a thought that had not come to mind. I could get the clippers and trim one on.

Don't worry... I get the same looks when I tell them I need a mini loaner!

 

They always give me a MINI, except for the time that they gave me the option of a BMW 5 series (which I took).

Hopefully Babs went easy on her loaner because it will probably be what I get on Wednesday. Started the Clubby up yesterday to drive home from Kenton and the SEL was on.

 

Nice!
