Here is some bad news from Australia, Saturday a Mini Cooper S crashed into the spectator crowd in Tasmania and injured 3 people seriously. The Japanese driver and navigator were shaken but unhurt. (I saw the footage on channel 10 on TV this evening and it was definitely a PW Mini Cooper S, not a Mini Cooper)

There are few MINI accessories out there that are as seemingly extravagant as the new JCW Leather dash. I mean, it’s a MINI right? Why in the world would you spend the cash on something so exotic? Well I’ve asked myself that very question and all I’ve come up with is… there is no good reason. But then again there is no real reason to do what most of us have done to our cars. It’s all about a personal preference, a look, a feel, and with a leather dash, an atmosphere.
Sections: MF Feature, R55 (Clubman) Apr 27th, 2006 13 Comments It looks like Autoexpress back with more MINI news based on some spy shots first run by Worldcarfans.com. While there’s nothing new to see that we didn’t get a look at last week and with previous spyshots, there is one bit of info that seems relatively new. Apparently MINI is planning on having some sort of “Traveler” concept ready for the British Autoshow in July. That would fit well with what we had heard last year that MINI was planning on having a larger presence then usual at the show.

Here’s a quick update on what to expect and when to expect it for the US market. As we mentioned previously, MINI will be holding off introducing the R56 to the US market until December production. That means the cars in the US are expected reach some dealers by late January.
