Neat things your MINI does


Since this is my first MINI and it is new, I have been noticed a few things that are pretty cool.
-  When I open the door, the window lowers just a little bit then when closed
    it goes up tight (funny).
-  when I open the door at night, it has a light on the bottom to help me see
    better
- and more...

What neat things have you all noticed about your MINI?

-when your driving and you turn OFF your sport button you can feel the decrease of power.

On my new MINI
-There's a hidden compartment on the inside of the skirt near the back(?) wheel where you can stash your keys when you go for a jog...Tried it once, but I've since forgotten if its front or back...feel around through and you'll find it.
-All the windows open or close if you insert your key and turn
-There's a vent in your Glove box so you can put your sandwich and soda in the box and keep it cool (if your AC's on)

On my Classic MINI
-When it rains, my radio stops working
-If I'm going 140 km/h On certain Concrete roads, the mix of evenly spaced spacer cracks and stiff MINI suspension (rubber cones- no springs) reach the natural frequency of most peoples stomach abs and pecs (shakes you to the point where you feel like a ball of Jello)
-The Oil drain plug has a magnet on the end of it to gather all the metal shavings that are in the oil from your engine/gear train (gearbox and engine share same oil)..
...But I'm still lov'n 'Lil

The newer MINIs do so much more than my pre-september '02 model can do.

(for those who don't know, there was a significant production change in September of 02)

The one cool thing that an older MINI can do that a later model can't is shine the headlights into the night sky simply by opening the hood.

It picks up a lot of radio stations it shouldn't (not a good signal).

Oh well, otherwise it would just be country music and the hog reports--not that there's anything wrong with that...
