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-de-
public-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.)
CUSTOMIZING YOUR MINI
Cockpit Toggle Switch
Conversation Starters
Refer to your factory-authorized MINI
owner’s manual to familiarize yourself
with the layout of all dashboard instru-
mentation.Then refer to the pre-printed
labels (included with this manual) for
your own personalized customization.
Proper Use of Bumper Stickers
Recommended:
1. Motorer-related stickers function like
post cards to strangers from a life well-
lived: "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 Constitutionally-
inappropriate manner. (Fig. 14)
CUSTOMIZING YOUR MINI
