Yes, the one which fits the MINI and mounts above the speedometer. I've seen a part number from the UK, but heard they weren't available there.

Also, it seems that the HP iPAQ 3000 Series are discontinued. Any idea which iPAQ model MINI is replacing it with? I'm looking at a 2215 or 4155. I just want one which I can add GPS and has Bluetooth.

Unlucky for you - it was 34° in Hamburg this morning - unfortunately that was in Fahrenheit

But what will be the right weather to drive a Mini? This morning in Hamburg i was forced to rasp ice from my little darling and as it seems the winter here will be very long. Lucky ones over there! Do you have some jobs available? I'll settle over soon...

Stan, job market in J-ville is pretty strong. Lots of jobs in banking, mortgage companies and insurance companies among others.

Today, sunny and 76 F / 24.4 C. Great weather! Makes me miss my Miata (so I could put my top down) but makes me hopeful for the MINI convertable.

Absolutely perfect weather today in Orlando. Both windows down and the sunroof open. It's almost like a convertible.

I am off work tomorrow (Friday) and might even lie outside in the sun and get a winter tan.

Sorry to hear about the cold in Hamburg. Everyone should come visit us in Florida.

Good morning minimotorin!

uuuh, come on!? Do you really like the Mini convertable? The rear and the roll bars look horrible. BMW's supervising engineers should have some more pleasant ideas ontheir working desks. Do you know the Smart Roadster? When you have 2 other cars ( everyday life capable ) at home this one is very fine and sportive for little cruisings.

Insurance? Hmmm? I spent the last 7 years in outside sales and changed in july the side of the desk - fortunatly. It means i'm responsible for the service purchase coordination in a big container shipping company in Hamburg. In our schedule we offer a service to Miami as well but our US main office is located in Piscataway. And finally in the north the weather will be very similar to the weather here in Germany...

Nice weekend - Stan

[minimotorin]

Yea Stan, the MINI convertable looks like it still needs some work. I'll hold out hope that it improves before release, of course there is always the Lotus Elise convertable that hits the market here in 05.

Jacksonville is a pretty big port town and typically it doesn't get too cold in the winter here.

Have a good weekend German folks and don't freeze anything off in the cold. (I've been there in February and know it gets way cold. I stepped out onto a train platform in Worgel and my video camera started to freeze up it was so cold. brrrr)

Last night Jigna and I held an Italian Job Movie Night. We served Italian food, wine, and beer and watched both versions of the Italian Job. There were about 11 people and 5 MINIs. It was a fun evening.
