Crazy…

Man, MINI must have too much time on their hands. I’d rather see nav updates than weird stuff like this. [grin]

Ya got to give it to them for creativeness though.

Maybe I’m missing something, but the link just takes me to the miniusa starting page. nothing special. .

Yep. No worky with Firefox. I had to switch to evil IE to get it.

Works with Firefox for me, just had to disable pop-up blocker. Unfortunately, doesn’t seem to support resolutions beyond 1024×768 :(

You mean you don’t have Firefox pre-configured to allow miniusa.com to create pop-ups?

You folks must already have minis and don’t spend countless hours configuring an array of dream cars.

No kidding :) That was the first site I disabled pop-ups on!

If you have Firefox and don’t want to disable the popup blocker for MINIUSA, just click on the big MINIUSA clink in the middle of the landing page. If you use Safari you’ll want to do the same thing.

I allowed miniusa.com popups in Firefox from day one. That ain’t the source of the problem for me. Looks like my Flash plugin isn’t playing nice with the site.

Well for what it’s worth, it works fine on Firefox/Safari here.

Well, using IE I had to go to “Motor On” in the upper right hand corner and it is the first one there.

Fun Fun!

That is I used the link that came in the email MINI usa sent me.

Sorry, I know this is much ado about less than nothing, but I came home to my trusty Mac and got similar results: Safari digs it, but Firefox just sits in the corner and sulks. No biggy. miniusa.com is still one of the slickest sites around.

Well enuff of this crap……….I think it’s funny……But then I wear panties.
Tom M

Caching! I’m an idjit. All better now… And I think I’ve bagged my limit on comments for the year, so I’ll shut up for good long while.
