Celtic - The tints are 35% (Metallic-Based, high performance film from Madico). It does cost a bit more but it looks and performs much better than your average film.

KPMINI - Can't wait to see your MINI! It has been a long wait for you!

KP -- CONGRATS!!

Bronte is officially broken in! 1500 miles in 2 weeks...guess that's leading up to my "normal" average of 30K/yr, although that doesn't include track miles!

broken-in in 2 weeks????

ORLT,

Can't believe you got through 1500 in 2 weeks. I have had mine for over 1 week now and I haven't made 300 yet... man, this is taking long...

I want to play hard with it already!

I have to admit... I love the way the user controls are designed... especially the toggle switches for DSC, windows, etc... Neat design.

OK this is still a support group. I hope that just because we have gotten our new additions that we stop talking to the people that helped us through the waiting process.
Come on, lets keep this going and up date all of us week 42er (2006) on what you have been doing with the new MINI.

Sounds like you and Pearl are doing very well. Good luck with the finals, and all the college stuff.
Happy motoring.

Well KPMINI is GREAT. Next week he will be getting the invisible bra, and his windows tinted.
being to busy to actually go on any road trips, however, we are planing one in April. My best friend is going to be home from Japan for a month and we are meeting him, and his family in Las Vegas. Going to take KPMINI on that trip.
This is the best car I have ever owned, I have so much fun. I just can not stop smiling. I smile going to KPMINI in the parking lot, and while driving.
I am so happy motoring around now. I think everyone needs to feel like this then maybe there would not be so much road rage.

Glad all you guys are out enjoying your new MINI's. I have accumulated approximately 960 miles in 3 weeks. A few more hundred miles and 'Bones' will be fully broken in!

KPMINI - Tinting your windows will make KPMINI look even better. Not to mention the other benefits of tinting such as blocking ultra-violet rays and providing security. Pls post before and after pics!

OK I know that everyone is busy motoring around in there new additions. And can not get rid of the grin. Also the holidays are just around the corner. I just think that the one that help you through the waiting process should also be informed on what is going on with those new addition.
I have appointments this week for some things for KPMINI. I also plan on posting more pics after. NEJHAD suggestion of before and after pic is a good on I am going to try and get those also.
So how is everyone liking their MINI? Any experiences that you would not mind sharing. Is anyone having a bad experience with the MINI or the Dealer? These are the question that some of us that relied on a lot of you here in week 42 would like to know.
Thanks for letting me rant. So let get this going just because you are not waiting does not mean that you can not post in here.
