Re: [ST] Mini-Cooper...Forgive me...

Yeah, I've got a couple of friends who like the car, I do as well,
but the point is moot around here as BWM of NA did not bother to
file the paper work with TX dot so there are no dealerships in 2
of the 5 biggest car markets in NA (yes Houston and Dallas).

Rumour has it that BMW is still pissed that TX calssifies the X5 has
a car and they wanted is classified as a truck, or something like that.                     

But I am sure we would like a ride^wdrive report on the cooper S once it
is through its breakin and first oil change.
