Welcome to NAM, and congrats! Depending on time (and your level of comfort with the mechanical soundness of your Mini), I might suggest that you get on Google maps and plan a trip home that avoids the interstates. I just returned from a driving tour of the South with two other MINIacs, one that took us on backroads the whole way (save for entry to & exit from cities like Nashville & New Orleans).
Getting out on the road less traveled was a real treat: great curves & twisties, and beautiful scenery you otherwise miss out on from the 4-lane ribbons of asphalt.
if you can afford the time, I highly recommend it.
Thanks! Yes, This is my first, although I've been admiring, drooling, dreaming of owning one for 25 years! Unfortunately, I do not have the time to take the long and winding roads on this trip. I want to get it home quickly before the weather gets nasty. I plan on taking her out on country roads this spring and summer.
