Yesterday, I not only got to see another SE, but I actually modified it without the owner being present and didn't get into trouble!
After getting an email OK from Kate, the owner of the SE down the street from me, I walked down and replaced her stolen antenna with the one that came with my SE (I have MINI's Sport Aerial Rod now). Working mostly from home these days, she's been putting only 1,000 miles a year on her SE and doesn't have a garage or other convenient place to plug in the L1 charging cord! Instead, she drives downtown to the Ann Arbor Farmer's Market and plugs into one of the free L2 solar charging stations there. She takes the 20-minute walk home and returns later after her SE is fully charged. As you can imagine, that charge lasts Kate a long time. As such an infrequent driver, the MINI SE is a perfect fit--she never has to worry about the gas in her previous MINI's tank going stale.
