Wow!  Absolutely like new and in the wrapper.  This pampered fair weather car is my second Mini Convertible and is in mint way above average condition having covered just over 12,000 one owner miles in the Hamptons.  Best of all, it comes with FREE FACTORY MAINTENANCE through October of of this year, and enjoys a FULL BUMPER TO BUMPER FACTORY WARRANTY through October of 2014.  I have fallen in love with an old Mercedes so I am reluctantly letting her go.  Wife says I am crazy but believe me, this is not a first for that observation.  Local Southampton Mini dealer agrees this one is as nice as they come.  I am a car guy who over indulges all his cars.  Good for you.  This is an absolute no brainer decision even over the internet.  You get a near new car with free maintenance and a full transferable warranty.  Come to the Hamptons and drive home in pure joy. NOTE:  I had the option of buying an "S" model and drove both back to back.  What the dealer don't tell you is there is a a "SPORT" setting button on the center console that makes this just as peppy off the line so I didn't think it was worth spending another $3,000.  That's a personal decision but I have absolutely no complaints about performance even with an automatic.  It gets around 31 MPG putting around the Hamptons.  Don't know about highway mileage because this car has never been on a real highway.  This car has the Winter Cold Weather package with heated seats, heated and power mirrors.  In warm weather climates this is still a nice bonus because the heated seats are great on cool top down evenings.  The only other major option is fog lights. I'm sure they work but I have never turned them on.  Buy with complete confidence.  No lemon here, it's full records are available and will stand in testimony to the quality of this fine car.  It had the windshield replaced a year ago from a structure crack (common I am told) and an interior roof panel came loose so they put a new one in.  That and a few oil and windshield wiper replacements are pretty much it.  Plenty of tread left on the original tires.  Zero road rash on the alloy wheels and a like new convertible top round out the package.  Click Buy It Now before I come to my senses.  Have a Mini Car Cover I will throw in ($225 new) that I used all the time because I am just that anal.  Ask any questions.  Thanks for your interest.

Mini attempts first-ever backflip in a car

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

Not too long ago, the idea of doing a backflip seemed almost impossible on two wheels let alone four, but now the stunt is routinely performed using everything from dirtbikes to monster trucks. Now Mini is getting into the game by attempting to perform a backflip with French stuntman Guerlain Chicherit behind the wheel of a highly modified Countryman, which it claims is the first-ever attempt at doing so with a car.
Another unique element of the jump that Mini is claiming is in regards to the ramp. Past automotive backflips, including Rhys Millen's 2009 jump to ring in the New Year, have used special ramps that help rotate the car, but the ramp Chicherit uses is "unassisted" and the backflip is attempted using only "a gas pedal and a prayer" according to a Mini spokesman for the event.
The video posted below is only a teaser showing the car launch up into the air, but while we have to wait until February 10 to see the final result, it sounds like the landing was a success. According to the Chicherit's Facebook page, practice for the stunt took 18 months of work with "lots of crashes."

2020 Mini Cooper SE Drivers' Notes | Two editors, two cities, one electric car

Mon, Apr 6 2020

The 2020 Mini Cooper SE is Mini's first electric car that it's actually selling widely to the public, rather than a quasi-experimental product a select few could lease. While in most respects, it looks like a plain Mini Hardtop or Cooper S, it instead has a BMW i3 electric motor under the hood. The SE makes 181 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. Between the front seats and under the rear seats are battery packs that give the Mini an estimated 110 miles of range. The new powertrain means the electric Mini sits ever so slightly higher, but it has a lower center of gravity than other Minis, and it has a perfectly even weight distribution front to rear. To get an idea as to what it's like to live with this spunky little commuter, Managing Editor Greg Rasa in Seattle and News Editor Joel Stocksdale in Detroit each spent a week with one. Both cars were the top shelf Iconic trim, bringing the starting price to $37,750 after the $850 destination charge. The SE is also eligible for the $7,500 federal tax credit, making that high price sting a bit less. Check out their thoughts in the discussion below. Joel Stocksdale: Want to talk Mini? Greg Rasa: Sure. So, how to begin ... Fun car. Way fun. JS: So much fun! I took it out for pleasure cruises at least every other day just because it was such a blast. GR: I took mine on some long outings and was pleased with it in every respect. Some background: I drove a 2013 Leaf as a commuter for a couple of years, so that's kind of my baseline for an EV — utilitarian, basic, purpose-built for commuting. And of course I have driven other EVs quite a bit, Niro, etc. The difference with the Mini is apparent from the first impression. Stepping into it, there's a wow factor. Nice interior, quilted seats, yellow racing stripe in the carbon fiber-look dash, goofy space-age sounds. Everything screams fun. JS: What really got me fired up about the driving was the handling. Minis are already great in corners, but this one feels particularly good, and I think a lot of it has to do with the weight balance. It's an even 50/50 front/rear distribution, and you can feel that in turns. It's very neutral and has loads of grip despite the low-rolling-resistance tires. I desperately want to take one to an autocross event. GR: Yes, very grippy. All EVs tend to handle well, I think, given how planted they are with the battery weight down low, but the Mini is the best yet. You're in a John Cooper Works (JCW) now, right?

Tony Hawk jumps a moving Mini

Sun, 25 May 2014

Remember a couple of years ago when Tony Hawk jumped over a Lexus LFA on his skateboard? Well that was nothing compared to what he's done here.
Sure the LFA is a more impressive car than a Mini hatchback, but that Japanese supercar was sitting still when the world's most famous skater jumped over it. And it was parked sideways. This time Tony's jumped a moving car, front to back. It gets even more impressive than that when you see what happens to the ramp after he's done with it, but we don't want to ruin the surprise.
The stunt was performed in celebration of the partnership between Mini USA and Hawk's Birdhouse Skateboards Tour, details of which you can read in the press release under the video below.
