Bringing you the Triple 5 this week, talking about a good interview with David Duncan, the new MINI logo (top right of the page), the upcoming 2016 model year changes and Alex’s petition to save the rear fogs in the US. And the new Clubman! And the Rendezvous video, if you haven’t seen it before.
Woofcast #555: We Have a Petition for That

To DB’s comment re: rear fogs. My 2010 Clubman JCW was purchased off the lot, and had rear fogs. My 2015 Cooper S has ’em only because I configured it as such.
I do wonder though, if the rear fog is there on all F55/56s but requires a switch – and possibly coding – to activate. My X1 wasn’t equipped with rear fog ‘option’ per se but all it took was either a new switch, or a few minutes with a knife blade to enable them.
Side note: We have the ‘pedestrian pillow’ on the F56/55’s because of European safety standards and regulations, right? Yet we remove the rear fog which I believe is also a European regulation type thing. Okay then.
