Blue Convertible W/leather, Bluetooth, New Tires And Battery Needs New Home on 2040-cars
Southbury, Connecticut, United States

My wife said "It's time to get an SUV for our bicycles" so the MINI must go! We are the second owners of this 2005 MINI Cooper S Convertible. It's stock except for the Kenwood Excelon AM/FM/CD/MP3 player with USB and Aux inputs, and Bluetooth for hands-free phone use. It works with the steering wheel controls! The car also has a rear windscreen to make top-down motoring more comfortable. There is a bag for the windscreen when you don't need it. The car has the optional gauge package that puts the speedometer and tachometer in front of the driver, and adds water and oil pressure gauges in the center. The seats are leather, and the rear seats can fold down to give you some added space in the trunk. Tires are Bridgestone run-flats with less than 3000 miles, the battery is new as of June 2014, all service is up to date, and the car has passed emissions through 2015 in Connecticut. It's a fun car to drive, especially in good weather.
It has the supercharged 1.6 liter 4 cylinder S engine, with the 6-speed manual transmission. Anti-lock brakes, dynamic stability control (which can be switched off by the driver), rear collision sensors, many air bags, and headlamp washers are some of the safety features in this car. We hate to give it up, but our interests have changed and unfortunately this car no longer fits our needs. It's cute, it's a blast to drive, and you can get about 28 MPG highway too!

Mini Clubman Concept throws open all six of its doors for Geneva
Tue, 25 Feb 2014Coming in just over 10 inches longer and 6.5 inches wider than the 2013 Mini Clubman, the new Mini Clubman Concept that you see above is set to debut at the Geneva Motor Show next week. Let's get the maximum mini jokes out of the way right off the bat... Done? Okay, moving along.
Adrian van Hooydonk, Head of BMW Group Design, says that this Clubman Concept "shows how the Mini Clubman could be taken a step further: more interior space, a greater sense of high-end quality and yet still clever, bold and distinctive." And that extra interior space will be accessible through four real doors, eschewing the single-sided barn door approach of the current Clubman. Well, mostly - there's still the side-by-side barn door philosophy at the back instead of a more traditional upward-opening hatch. In fact, spy shots and early rumors pegged this more conventionally doored Mini as a new model selling under a new name, possibly Traveller. However, it appears that Mini will stick with the brand equity it has established with Clubman instead.
As you can see in the small image gallery above, the Clubman Concept is instantly recognizable as a Mini, though a somewhat more refined overall package than past efforts. The front headlamps still have a bit of a surprised look to them, but we think this concept's overall fascia, and its unique bright finishes, might be more successful than the latest Cooper's. At the rear, there are a set of rather large taillights dominating the view, and we note that the prevalence of air intakes and scoops at parent BMW have moved on down to the Mini line. We'll have to reserve final judgment until we see the Clubman Concept in person.
Mini Paceman modified by Roberto Cavalli for annual Life Ball charity
Fri, 10 May 2013This year's award for Life Ball Mini designer goes to Roberto Cavalli. The Life Ball is a charity event held in Vienna, Austria every year that raises money to fight the spread of HIV and AIDS. Since 2001, the year of its reintroduction, Mini has been involved with the ball, auctioning a car that has been made over by a world-famous designer. This year Cavalli gets the nod and a Paceman for a canvas.
The iridescent brown/black paint is the eye-catcher in the sketch above (click to enlarge), but don't forget to note Cavalli's logo on the roof. We're not sure what other flourishes he has in mind for the car, but those in attendance will find out on May 24 when it's unveiled at the Cavalli store opening in Vienna. The press release below has more details.
Guerlain Chicherit going for world record for longest car jump
Fri, 14 Mar 2014Does the name Guerlain Chicherit ring any bells? It definitely should if you're into competitive skiing, as he was crowned world champion in off-trail freeriding four times. But he's also a rally driver, winning the FIA Cross Country Rally World Cup in 2009 and even a stage of the Dakar Rally the following year. What really set him apart, though, was when he back-flipped a Mini Countryman rally car to set a world record last year. And now he's after another.
This time he's going after the world record for the longest ramp jump in a car. The record currently belongs to Tanner Foust at 332 feet, but Chicherit plans to break it by a good thirty more with a targeted distance of 360 feet.
He'll be using the Mini once again, sponsored by Monster Energy and Toyo Tires, and specially modified for the endeavor which he plans to undertake this Sunday under the auspices of Guinness World Record officials. We'll be watching to see how it all goes down.
