Ready for Mickey & MINI, I washed GBMINI#8 today – and I’m pretty sure it’s the FIRST time I’ve done it (Orlando MINI has washed it, but not me). It makes a big difference when I don’t drive much, and have a garage!
Anyway, some obligatory during and after photos …
I received a recall today for my 2016 Clubman, something to do with side airbags!
I read about this on Motoringfile a while back, although that article claims a software fix and this recall seems pretty clear that the problem is with something physical (“… cover … underneath the trim …”). An Edmunds article doesn’t mention software.
I guess I’ll be calling Orlando MINI soon!
I guess it’s because the 2016 MINI Clubman is new: I received TWO new car surveys yesterday, one from JD Power and the other from RDA Group that I’ve not heard of before. JD Power gave me a $1(!) incentive as well as “could win $100,000” while the apparently lower budget RDA Group offers only “grand prize winner $3,500”. In either case, the chance of winning is basically zero so it’s just the “fun” of filling in forms – at least these days, it’s done on the web, even though the invitation still comes in paper mail:
