Among the many things that were revealed this week was the full color line-up for the 2014 MINI. While there are many changes there are quite a few colors that are carrying over for 2014. Pepper White Midnight Black Thunder Gray (via the GP) Iced Chocolate White Silver British Racing Green II Chili Red (with […] (visit MotoringFile for the full article) More...
MINI $eem$ to be charging extra for everything the$e day$. I can see paying for option$, but paint $hould be $tandard equipment for go$h $ake.
Everything has a price.... Requested a "Phone In" perscription from the doctor.... Charge...... $25.00 For the perscription.... Not the meds....
I have to agree with Crash and Dave O. I think MINI hakes a good car, but the nit picking over the options is getting old. Basically, you can design your MINI any way you like, as long as BMW/MINI agrees with you choices.
At one time MINIs were a nice value. You could cherry pick the options & end up with a nice car for a value price. If one is looking for bang for the buck car now there are better choices to be had. Wonder if MINI will ever figure that out?
Side note for MM All my doctors send prescriptions electronically and don't charge anything extra. Don't worry modern technology will get to Ohio soon. :lol:
Interesting you say that Crash, because I was thinking the very same thing. There have been a number of folks here on M/A who have left the brand, some of them right there in MoMville. Add to that the other folks here, like you and Dave O., who plan to hang on to your R-53's forever, but will not by a new MINI. I want to buy one, but if I have to settle for what they say I can have, I just might not. BMW/MINI is starting to lose the repete buyers. Guess they think the new ones will cover the gap or they don't care. :frown2: Then there is poor old MM, who will have to hang on to his R-56, because he doesn't have an R-53. :lol:
Mine does the same.... There was never a charge for mine either.... They just decided they weren't going to do it for free anymore....
Well someone has to pay for the medical malpractice insurance so they do not have to cut back on weekly golf outings. :lol:
Jim I could be happy with an R56 Justa. I really like Babs Justa Clubster. I'd mod the suspenders & leave the little French engine alone. Last year at the dragon I had big fun sticking Babs Justa Clubster behind some fancy modded S's & seeing them try to lose me. Had a couple people ask me what mods I'd done. When I said none I got a funny look. :shocked: :devil:
Yup just like your signature says: ""If you can't go fast with 90hp, 900hp won't help you...." Many cars have great potential to be fast, bad drivers make them slow.
