This manual is not intended to help you understand the operation
and maintenance of your motor vehicle. Rather, it is meant to
provide you with invaluable information that would, under normal
driving conditions, take most car owners months to discover for
themselves. Information that has been painstakingly gleaned from
many hours of vehicle operation.

The Boot, the Bonnet
& Commander Cooper
With a British car comes some rather
foreign English terminology. The following
are a few terms you can now use to
impress your "mates": The "boot" is the
bit around the back. It’s where you stick
the cricket bats and the take-away fishn-chips. The "bonnet" is that brilliant
piece of sculpted sheet metal symmetry
covering the Cooper (S) bits. That’s
"Commander John Cooper" to you

Detailing
How to remove greasy prints, onlooker
drool spatters and road grime to restore
your MINI’s lustrous factory finish:
Step 1. Maintain proper perspective.
MINI owners do not irrationally obsess
about such things. Bug guts on the grille
and muddy fenders are signs of a healthy,

well-motored life. Imagine it’s like tooling
around town in a Jackson Pollock original.
But every now and then, you may want
to start over with a clean canvas.
Step 2. Always use a soft sponge and mild
biodegradable soap. Land and sea creatures
are our friends.
Assigned Cabin Seating
Technically speaking, everyone motors in
a MINI. The conventional nomenclature
of "driver" and "passenger" no longer
applies because it segregates, implying
one is active while another is passive.
In a MINI, all are actively engaged in
the enjoyment of motoring. However,
there are a few specific responsibilities
by seat assignment:
1. Pilot/Motorer (a.k.a. El Capitan,
Skipper, Mac Daddy). In charge of
mechanical functions and direct
operation of the motor vehicle. Period.
2. Navigator (a.k.a. Co-Pilot, First Mate,
Little Buddy). Responsible for: 1) Navigation. 2) Operation of MINI Magical
Motoring Ball (See fig. 12). 3) Fast food
drive-thru item checklist and Beverage
Stabilization (BevStab). (See Fig. 3). 4)
Interior hood release. 5) Also in charge of
stowing maps, souvenir snow globes,
and scouting for photo op. locations.
3. Passengers (a.k.a. Crew, Backseat
Drivers). In a MINI, suggestions from the
peanut gallery are encouraged. Motoring
is a democratic act. Tyrannical control
may lead to mutiny on the highway.
4. Cabin Attendants (a.k.a. Passengers).
Responsible for in-flight meal and beverage
service. And implementing emergency
comedic procedures in event of sudden
loss of cabin levity.
Fig. 3 Beverage Stabilization in Action.
Notice how the passenger tilts the cup
precisely seven degrees (above) compensating for the centrifugal forces acting
upon the beverage as a result of your
MINI’s tight cornering performance (left).

First things first. This book fits snugly
inside the case provided for your factoryauthorized owner’s manual, and is
designed to be stowed away in the glove
box. Or conveniently left about on the
coffee table.
1. Coin Caddy
Technically engineered as the beverage
holder. Reinvented by resourceful you
as the handy loose change receptacle.
CAUTION: When parking in low-lit
urban areas, cover all exposed coinage
with cup.
2. Toll Ticket Cranny
Your MINI’s dashboard console features
four vertical slits (two within driver’s
reach, two for co-pilot assistance) for
securing toll receipts and parking stubs.
3. The Glove Box
Re-engineered by MINI designers.
Because no one really keeps gloves in
there anymore. Use it as a CD box. A
toolbox. Or turn up the air conditioning,
and it’s a refrigerated icebox.
4. Door Cubby
Accommodates:
1 cell phone, PDA, or Travel Etch-a-Sketch,
•
depending on priorities.
3 pair sunglasses (optimists).
•
1 collapsible umbrella (pessimists).
•
Cooling/Heating Feature
Turns your MINI’s glove box into a mini
refrigerator for chilling contents to 50˚
Fahrenheit. For emergency roadside
candy bars and spare hero sandwiches.
Your MINI goes great with mayo. Or
activate the heater to warm contents
from soup to nuts. (See Fig. 6)

Strategic golf club placement
With both rear seats folded down, your
MINI can accommodate four golf bags
comfortably. Unfortunately, this leaves
no room to accommodate a foursome.
Recommended: with one rear seat folded
down, fit one to two bags lying angled
diagonally, and one to two golf buddies
seated vertically.
How to fit a bike:
1. Adjust passenger’s side seat to furthest
forward non-reclining position.
2. Remove front wheel. Of BICYCLE!
3. Lay the bike on the side opposite the
rear derailleur rotating the handlebars
counterclockwise until they are
parallel with the cargo area floor.
4. Place front wheel in cargo area and
close hatch.

Secret Jogging Key Nook
The undercarriage of your MINI features
a handy hideaway for stashing cumbersome
key sets when you take a break from
motoring for a jog, bike ride, or skinnydipping romp in the country. Place your
hand just forward of either rear wheel
near the rocker panel. Reach up and
under the wheel well. You’ll find a flat
4"X4" secret spot no one knows about
but you. And tens of thousands of
fellow U.S. MINI owners.
NOTE: Always perform a quick 360˚
visual scan to make sure no one is
watching you. (Fig. 8 & 9)

Motoring Accessories
Swivel-hipped hula girls and bobbing

Air Fresheners. Nothing beats that new
car smell. But life happens. You suddenly
take up ferret breeding. Your MINI
becomes possessed by the spirit of a
recently-deceased skunk. You chauffeur
a couple of your alma mater’s lacrosse
team players who leave their sweaty
gear in your backseat. Eventually, you
may want to spruce things up:
Sprig of Pine. Forget the faux eau-depublic-toilette imitations. The real
thing is sweeter, and it’s free. Or
substitute fresh rosemary from your
grocer’s produce section.
Peel and eat a ripe tangerine. Toss rind
portion on floor area of vehicle. Park in
direct sun.
Fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies.
Recommended for first dates. Make
them yourself, or hit the bakery on the
way to her place. Don’t overdo it. It’s a
subliminal thing. You want her thinking
"nice homespun boy", not "Suzie
Homemaker". (FEMALE OWNERS:
Substitute fine cigars in glove box
"humidor" for cookies.)

Refer to your factory-authorized MINI
owner’s manual to familiarize yourself

Proper Use of Bumper Stickers
Recommended:
1. Motorer-related stickers function like
post cards to strangers from a life welllived: "This car climbed Mt. Washington",
"I got my kicks on Route 66", "Bat out of
Carlsbad Cavern". (Fig. 13)
2. Law School Alumni window decals
will make others think twice about
messing with you in a Constitutionallyinappropriate manner. (Fig. 14)

Discouraged:

Public Displays of Affection (P.D.A.)
Highly encouraged. You and your designated significant other
take your MINI out for a wash and buff on a bright sunny
Sunday for the whole world to see. “Yo, people, get a garage!”
The Backseat: An Introduction
Your MINI’s spacious backseat and rear cargo area means
there’s plenty of room to comfortably accommodate everything
you need to rev up the romance in any relationship – from
long-stem roses and heart-shaped helium balloons by the
dozen – to a 36” large-screen TV with both rear seats folded
down. (Degree of romance may vary with relationship mileage.)
Making out in your MINI
The backseat. The front seat. Be spontaneous. Refer to factoryauthorized owner’s manual for window defogger operations.
Unisex chivalry
Who cares if men and women are from different planets?
Come down to Earth and open the dang door. It’s the polite
human thing to do.
Tip for shameless flirting at red lights
Substituting the words "olive juice" for "I love you" when
lip-synching your affections through the window achieves
the desired effect, and could potentially save you from messy
verbally-binding legal entanglements down the road.
Dating tips for married people
Your MINI can be a great source of
escape from the ruts of everyday life.
1. Make a hot date. With your spouse.
Act like complete strangers.
2. Remove child seats (if applicable)
and 9-to-5 baggage.
3. Motor around block and pick her up
at "her place". (Or pick him up at "his
place" – owner gender and romantic
orientation may vary.)
4. Catch dinner and a movie. Or motor
to the nearest scenic overlook and
catch a sunset.
MINI Prenuptial Agreement:
Substituting birdseed for ceremonial rice
on wedding day may invite unwanted
aerial bombardment of your MINI’s
lustrous factory finish. But it’s the right
thing to do.

Unconventional Use of Headlamps
to Attract Attention
Your MINI’s halogen lights are integrated
into the bonnet (hood). Subsequently,
raising the bonnet raises the headlamps.
A handy feature for attracting Luna moths,
playing Romeo & Juliet, illuminating
nighttime tailgate parties and locating
sexy neighbor’s treed kitty. (Fig. 21)
IN EVENT OF BEING HOPELESSLY
STRANDED in the middle of nowhere, or
just hopelessly bored at home, rake the
night sky with your headlights using a
Hollywood premiere sweeping motion
and let the party (search or otherwise)
find you.

2. Tapping on the roof adds additional
percussion, though care should be
taken that any rings on fingers do not
scratch your MINI’s distinctive black

3. Playing the tubular door bezel:
Syncopated banging upon the silver
door tube adds bass. Adjust levels
with a thump to the armrest.
The door bezel is your conga.
4. Activating the turn signals provides
a distinctive percussive cadence when
motoring around turns.

are creative ways to play your MINI like
a finely-tuned instrument, and express
the song in your heart.

1. Strumming on the steering wheel
establishes the composition’s rhythm,

engaging in turns.
NOTE: Your MINI’s horn is not a musical
plaything, and should be sounded only
when absolutely necessary in traffic
situations, i.e. greeting fellow MINI owners.

Opting NOT to exchange electrical charges
with total strangers is up to the individual
motorer’s discretion. HOWEVER, random acts
of kindness do continue the flow of positive
energy. Which adds up to good motor mojo
for you.
Acknowledging Fellow Motorers
Dating back to MINI’s birth in the UK, there
exists a time-honored tradition of owners
greeting each other when they pass on the
streets. The moment you first sat in your MINI,
you became a member of the family. So, as is
customary, try and refrain from acts of shyness,
aloofness or woeful complacency. When you
pass another MINI, say, "Hey".
Index Finger Salute
Subtle. Sublime. "’Sup!"
Peace Sign
Though flower-powered Minis never lined the
interstates leading to Woodstock, N.Y., Minis did
enjoy a rather colorful bohemian past shuttling
shaggy-haired hipsters from Liverpool to
Amsterdam in the 60s. Then, as now, love is all
you need. That and petrol.
Thumbs Up
Appropriate when paying homage to Classic
Mini owners.
Motorer’s Oath of Honor
REPEAT: “On my honor, I do solemnly pledge
to be trustworthy, helpful, friendly, courteous,
kind, obedient, cheerful and brave.”
The Wave
Customarily, Mini-owning members of
Britain’s Royal Family always presented the
back of the hand, raised in a slow tight circular
motion when greeting subjects. You, living in a
democracy, may choose something a little less
upper-crusty when acknowledging throngs of
well-wishers along your parade route.

Rotating your Shorts in Public
Whether wiggling out of soggy swim
trunks at the beach, or slipping into
moisture-wicking bike shorts for a ride
in the country, follow these instructions
for taking it all off and putting it all
back on. And save yourself the lewd
& lascivious downtime.
CAUTION: Car doors should not be
used as privacy screens by those over 6’
tall. Because of your MINI’s lower center
of gravity, doors may be inadequate for
keeping your private bits out of other
people’s snooping noses. So to speak.
1. Wrap a beach towel around your waist.
2. Sit down inside vehicle and, reaching
under towel, use a shimmying motion
to remove what you’re wearing, taking
care not to loosen towel.
3. Repeat in reverse order, applying
clothes until dressed.
30
Fig. 28 Use discretion. And keep the catcalls, woos and whistles for your MINI.
FOUR THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER DO TO YOUR MINI
1. Never leave your MINI unattended and unlocked with the
engine running and a giant sign on top reading, "Back in
ten—feel free to move car if in way."
2. Absolutely no Viking helmets. Not the football team, the
ancient Nordic conquerors. No matter how much the explorer
spirit of motoring gets in your blood, resist the urge. Pointy
Viking horns may cause damage to plush vehicle interior.
3. Never drive through flowing water. That’s called motor BOATING.
4. Never call your MINI by another car’s name.
