If your status is marked as unknown I may have missed your post of your delivery. Sorry. Just let us know the date you did take delivery. Some of you I know took delivery in Oct. but I could not figure out the exact date. Again, just let us know. We did pick up a few more since that first list so that was awesome to find out as I was digging back through every post. -whew!- Anyone got a great story to tell since they took delivery? More picks? If they're in your gallery just let us know. Lord, knows I've posted quite a few picks in my gallery.

550 miles!
Okay, okay, I need to drive more.
Oh yeah, gotta update the sig to reflect this. Only 700 miles left! My MA's jaw nearly dropped to the floor when I mentioned I drive about 50-100 miles a week, max, and didn't bother with selling extended warranties. I'm getting better though, actually driving in to work once in a while.

Just passed break-in point
1345 mile.
Just passed 1250 yesterday. At 1253 I started fooling with the steptronic. Never driven a manual, so I am waiting for a lesson from my fiancee.
Man I love my car!!!

Hey, sagworks.
Isn't shifting the CVT manually fun? I'm going up on the BRP in Va. this Saturday, and plan to have a ball "shifting" gears. Now that I have passed 1250, the fun begins !!!

Whistler BC road trip
The drive to Whistler was a blast! Fog & rain for the drive up, but we had some sporadic sun for the drive back. Managed to get 550 miles on 'ol Phinny, now we have to plan our next adventure!!!. Here are a few pics.

You got the stencil kit? I didn't get that. What is included is a highway bingo kit, some stickers, a pen, note pad, unofficial owners manual, and some more "stuff".

Holy cow! The color shots are MUCH better IMO. I guess I'm of a "colorized" orientation. I'm so glad the calendar is going to be in color this year.
The color in that first shot is just spectacular.

WOW SFS, I love the shot against the lake. I don't know which accentuates the lake better, you or the MINI. OK, I've decided ... both. That is a great shot. Both look beautiful.

Do we bury Week 36?
Just noticed that the last post was a week ago. I guess that all the 36'ers are motoring. Have we lost interest in communicating and gained interest in being on the road.
We just came back from a road trip this weekend with 15 MINI's (actually 14 MINI's and 1 Mini). The classic kept up with us fine through mountains in SW Virginia.
Motor on!!

Sounds like it buddy. It was a great trip watching everyone go through the ups & downs from ordering to delivery of their MINI's. I imagine that we'll all still chime in from time to time with a great motoring story! 
I've taken a slight break from motoring on the weekends. It's been a snotty nose and we're already busy with holiday prep. Family coming in starting this weekend for the Thanksgiving week. One Christmas show the following week. Then there's the Holiday Parties. There'll be plenty of taking the relatives on quick abouts.
Did you get the CD?

Yeah. Thanks, the pics look great. Seems like we are going to the track (VIR) the Thanksgiving weekend. I'm looking forward to it, but don't think I can convince my wife. Will let you know. Get well.
