MINI Countryman launch party
Posted by Chris Ordon in Mini Cooper on 2010/11/19
Motor City MINI in Michigan held an event last night for the launch of the MINI Cooper Countryman! It was great to finally see the car in person and it’s actually smaller than I thought. The MINI they had was the Countryman S with automatic transmission and MINI Connected with Nav. I didn’t get to play with it, because I needed the keys to the MINI for me to do that
The event was a great time, nice turnout I think with people from the local MINI club and some potential new owners. Speaking of potential owners, last night a guy surprised his wife with a MINI Cooper Clubman that he bought for her! The sign in the car said “How do you like your new MINI?” She was really happy to get her MINI! Check with your local dealer for the Countryman launch party, because it seems like all MINI dealers are doing it. Motor On!

Here’s a video of the MINI visual boost that was added to the first build 2011 MINI Coopers by accident. Some dealers may still have this on the lot, so go ask your local MINI dealer. It’s a great option if you don’t want to spend the money on MINI Connected that will be available in December for MINI Coopers assembled in Oxford and MINI Countryman in November that are assembled in Austria.

2011 MINI Cooper JCW color options with JCW aero kit
Posted by Chris Ordon in MINI info on 2010/08/30
If, like me, you want to get your hands on a 2011 JCW and waiting for the MINIUSA website to be updated with the 2011 builder, so you can see the various colors with the red roof, you’re in luck. I was forwarded this image from one of my twitter followers and he will also order a 2011 MINI with MINI Connected… which we will have to wait till November to order.
So here’s a nice idea of what the various MINI JCW will look like with the chili red roof and also with the JCW aero kit. Below is one more live picture of the black JCW with chili red roof and the JCW aero kit package… looks awesome. Hopefully the 2011 MINI USA builder will go online this week…. Motor On!
MINI Connected is ready? not really, maybe, kind of
Posted by Chris Ordon in MINI info on 2010/08/20
MINI Connected was on hold and now it isn’t…. well kind of. You can order it now, but you have to wait a bit longer to get your car with it….december to be exact. So if you order your MINI now with MINI connected, you won’t get your MINI until the beginning of 2011. I waited this long to order my MINI, so what’s a few more months… right? If all goes well I should order my MINI next week and will be built in december. Merry Christmas to me
I also talked about this on my new episode of my nxtMINI podcast. Check it out in iTunes or here. Motor On!
2011 MINI Cooper JCW – MINI Connected on hold
Posted by Chris Ordon in MINI info on 2010/07/25
The above pictured 2011 MINI Cooper JCW could potentially be my next MINI. I actually went this week to my MINI dealer to place an order on it, but I was told that I can order it, but if I want to order MINI Connected I have to wait to order it, because MINI has put the MINI Connected on hold. I wasn’t told why, but I can speculate on why, but I won’t. I wasn’t even told when it will be available to order, so I’ll just have to wait patiently a bit longer. I’ve waiting this long to order, so what’s a few more days or weeks. As soon as I know more, I’ll post on here and I’ll talk about it on my nxtMINI podcast. Don’t forget to check out episode 9 of nxtMINI podcast that was posted today,we talk about MINI Connected being on hold. Motor On!
