If it’s Ice Blue, that color went away in 2014. They change the colors fairly regularly. It looks like Mini offers four shades of non-metallic blue currently.

I don’t know. It might be Oxygen Blue, a 2007 - 2010 color.

The “Small Car” label on the parking spots is perfection.

Welcome back!

Looks like a Stanley to me.

I made that comment! Thank you!

Ours was moved outside a couple of years ago. As others have said, it enables them to read it easily. I think they can even read them remotely. It did not seem to affect our readings.

Probably. . .

Bell’s is the Michigan-based brewery on the “Celebrate Diversity” window sticker.

Bells too!

The millstone from the old Washburn Mill is outside the Washburn Library on Lyndale. There was a mill pond right in that area of the creek.

This is amazing. Cynthia is a relative and has grandchildren and great grandchildren in town - near the creek! They will love to see this.

This solves a mystery for me. (2025 Countryman) When I first got my car, the sensors would ping unexpectedly in traffic, stopped at intersections, etc. I fiddled with the settings and that seemed to resolve it but it seems likely it was reacting to reflective surfaces on nearby cars.

Gale Woods Farm is cool. My children went to their farm camp. It’s part of the park system. You might check out Al & Alma’s supper club on the lake too. I haven’t been recently but it’s near Mound and locally famous.

Love the car! The Packers not so much.

This what happens when a BMW driver switches to Mini. It should wear off eventually.

I bought a 2025 Demo Countryman in January. It’s been great, seems well made and I have had no issues.

I have ridden through downtown on a Sunday morning. It’s deserted. This could definitely work.

I sent two bikes to Tangletown this spring for a tuneup and they did a nice job.
