It's been a week. Some thoughts.
 
Today marks 1 week from when I picked up my custom order MCSC. Over the past 7 days I've only been able to put on 69 miles due to knee surgery 3 weeks ago today. Over those 69 miles I have racked up 3h 7m of Open Motoring, and maybe 1 or 2 minutes of closed motoring (90/10 Contract still very valid :thumbsup:.) After this first week my OBC is showing 22.9MPG, which is a bit misleading since I havn't had much motoring and we spend about 40 minutes sitting at the dealership with it running while my MA showed me everything.

As my knee recovery comes along I am able to motor more and more, I have been itching to just go out for a day and knock off a big chunk of my break-in period. Tomorrow will be the unveiling to the local club, which except for a few members don't know about my recent upgrade.

Love the Factory Aero Kit. I love how the lighter colors fill out the car with the pained flares.
Did you trade in your '03?

:cry: Yes, it was so hard pulling off the lot with Itercide sitting there. It felt like he was asking where I was going and when I'd be back. :cry:

I can only imagine. You should have taken part of your old car and switched it, like a shifter knob or something to keep them "connected" :P

I have the rear passenger window hanging in my room (it was removed after an accident.) I also have the tail light assemblies and the 3rd brake like which I switched for clear assemblies. And, last but surely not least I have a keyring version of my 03' (accurate to the wheels, except its missing the stripes) on my lanyard with my 09' key.

Plenty of Itercide lives on in the new MINI.
