Almost every single time i get out of my mini from driving it, as i go to flig the door shut, right hand on the northwestern edge of the door, It gives me a bloody decent ZAP, and it makes me jump two feet every time, and use not nice expletives :(
But it happens every time, and its ridiculously funny, - after the zap is over that is, it still hurts though.

But Does your mini zap you?
Im sure it has nothing to do with the mini, but still

Dry weather is the usual cause of static build up.

Tip, Hold the door frame as you get out of the car. :wink:
