Sections: Best of the Web Sep 22nd, 2005 13 Comments There’s a party in your MINI and MINIUSA want you out of the office to enjoy it. So they’ve come up with the ‘MINI Desktop Decoy kit’ to help you escape your place of employ for the afternoon. Keep the stress level low and the motoring level high:

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.

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

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.

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.
