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!
2011 MINI Cooper JCW
Posted by Chris Ordon in Mini Cooper, MINI info on 2010/07/02
2011 MINI Cooper JCW has some changes, mostly cosmetic on the outside and inside. This JCW as shown in the above picture could potentially be my next MINI. I’ll be building one online as soon as MINIUSA updates their website to build a 2011 MINI. I love the color combination black with chili red roof. From the press release, it seems that the red roof will be available across all colors in the JCW line only. Not sure how it will look on any other color, but I’ll be playing around with that when the time comes.
Another thing I’m looking forward to having in the MINI is MINI connect. This will integrate the Apple iPhone in to the system and you’ll be able to control your phone from the screen.. how cool is that. Recently in Michigan a texting while driving ban went in to effect and it’s possible that if you really have to text someone, the system will help you do that and read the message to you. Once I know more on that and any other MINI info I’ll post it here and on nxtMINI.com If you happen to be in Michigan while reading this, go to www.michiganmini.org and check out some MINI events that are happening in the state. Motor City MINI will be holding an event on July 29, more info to come soon. So keep that date open! Speaking of Motor City MINI, the JCW WC50 has finally arrived there and it’s not spoken for yet! So go down there to see this beauty in person. I’ll be taking some pictures of it as soon as they have it detailed. Till then, Motor On!

nxtMINI podcast episode 001
Posted by Chris Ordon in MINI info on 2010/03/09
For a while I’ve been thinking of starting a podcast on MINI’s. So in the first episode I decided to concentrate on the basics and a basic introduction to MINI. As the podcast moves forward (I’m thinking of doing it twice a month, I’ll record it on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month for now) I’ll add sections to the podcast. On the podcast Andy and myself will be talking about MINI’s and their competitors. If you’d like to be part of this podcast, contact me and we can work something out, because I’ll be looking for guests for the podcast.
As soon as I get a link to the podcast in iTunes, I’ll post it here.
Show notes for the podcast can be found here:
