TROUBLE GOOD MOJO MUSIC ROMANCE CUSTOMIZE STASH BASICS
Your MINI’s superior performance is
designed to fill you with a heightened
sense of exhilaration and an undeniable
urge to perform yourself. The following
are creative ways to play your MINI like
a finely-tuned instrument, and express
the song in your heart.
1. Strumming on the steering wheel
establishes the composition’s rhythm,
but should not be performed while
engaging in turns.
NOTE: Your MINI’s horn is not a musical
plaything, and should be sounded only
when absolutely necessary in traffic
situations, i.e. greeting fellow MINI owners.
2. Tapping on the roof adds additional
percussion, though care should be
taken that any rings on fingers do not
scratch your MINI’s distinctive black
or white roof factory finish.
3. Playing the tubular door bezel:
Syncopated banging upon the silver
door tube adds bass. Adjust levels
with a thump to the armrest.
The door bezel is your conga.
4. Activating the turn signals provides
a distinctive percussive cadence when
motoring around turns.
5. Switching on the windshield wipers
adds a rhythmic whoosh, whoosh,
whoosh to the mix.
6. Accelerator/Wah-Wah Pedal. (Fig. 23)
