I agree completly except that for me 'Clicky' should read 'Pullie'. :)

No, its definitely the indicator light and the big speedo. The only features the BMW MINI retains!

These have however been ridiculously exaggerated.

Yes, and passing objects reflect in it (unlike a Moggie or a classic Mini) as you are driving along, which is distracting and VERY irritating, like so much on that car.

We had one, and hated it..... can you tell? :wink:

My wife went Christmas food shopping today, and the boot was totally full, including the spare wheel well - but it worked just fine, and she didn't need to put any shopping on the passenger seats at all. We both commented that our BMW Mini would simply not have been able to take that amount of shopping without filling up ALL the passenger seats as well as the pitiful boot, which means it's a real pain to get stuff in and out as the headrests get in the way. Moggies rule!

(sorry for the rant - back on topic now.....)
Some people are like slinkies - they serve no useful purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you throw them downstairs.

The dip switch on the floor, where it should be, and most of the above comments.
I had a friend in mine a while ago, he used to have one and hadn't been in one for around 20 years. When I started it and drove off he commented "Ah, that is the way a car should sound, all the right noises!"
I saw a comment by an owner in Pakistan that sums Minor ownership up quite well. "It is nice driving a car that makes small children look up and smile"
