We should make this a Caption Contest. My entry is:

"Look, mom - no dipstick!" :biggrin5:

 

The Dipstick is the guy...who thinks he's on the Price Is Right.

A New Car!...This BMW badged as a MINI...comes with a whole new econoline shape that should turn heads the other way....and this could be yours...if the Price is Right.

 

Well, no chance in losing the smart part of the dipstick in the future... Gotta give em that!

 

^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^

I want to see that oil at 25K or even 50K

There's no spare tire in a lot of the MINIs now.

 

Looks like a Wurst gauge to me....

 

I liked the color I drove and the brakes did stop well. Also the seats are huge improvement for a standard seat but that's about it. The S is a dog slow pig and the JUSTA with its 3 banger turbo is the star if this release of the new MINI.

Oh I almost forgot the new F'ed car has no R56 bing bong bing key sounds when the door is open. That stupid sound is gone and you don't have to put the fob key thing in the dash.

 

Go ahead and forward my dash-design ideas to MINI. I'll donate them to the cause for the good of all mankind. Maybe they'll name an interior package after me - they could call it the "Spa Interior Package," because you'd be so relaxed driving a car where you knew what was going on under the hood - instead of guessing when you were going to run out of oil, overheat the engine or whatever. :cornut:

 

here is a novel idea...how about given the age of technology and cars like the LFA which uses digital displays for gauges...maybe have the old setup but the center section where the speedo was have a large circular screen with the speedo around the center and the info stuff in the middle...or...since these clowns are all about tech...how about an ability to change gauge displays...like say recreate the R53 or R56 tach and speedo setup and have the ability to render those on the tach and speedo screens...i really hate that after thought speedo thing...or switch it around...big tach with the speedo on the side and an actual needle fuel level like the old days...

 

Now there's a guy who can take a hint! :biggrin5:
