Hi All :
Just had my first hour in my new Mini bringing it home from the Dealer . Hard to describe how well it rides and handles. It is just one great car, the way it runs so effortless .
As I was leaving the MA tells me to make sure I keep it below 4500 rpms. So I really was taking it easy on RT 80 . But still very hard to keep below 70 mph. It just runs so nice. I don't think I went over 3,000 rpm at any time and mostly 2,500 rpms. It is great having a 6 th gear .

Oh did I tell you I just cannot stop opening the garage door to stare .

I am going to have to spend some time with the manuals. When my MA was going over all the details of how to operate , radio, sunroof, windows , cruise , steering wheel controls , aux . Mood lighting . How great the computer . blah , blah blah. All I could think of was driving the car and getting out of there as quick as possible, hard to concentrate on what she was saying.

Should have got more sleep last night I guess , if you know what I mean .

 

Congrats on getting Axel Now some pictures for us to stare Mine is still a month away

 

great choice in minis and i like the name too.

 

Good on you!

Sounds like a great (and fun) vee-hicle!

Have fun and be safe out there!

 

Congratulations, we all have had a sleepless night or two because of your MINIs.

Pictures, planned mods?

Enjoy, the break-in procedure states 4500 max or not to exceed something like 90+, so go run in the twisties.

 

I can still remember my two test drives like they were yesterday and today, even though they were about a month ago! Just a few weeks to go until mine arrives.

Enjoy!

 

Congrats Hubs!

Now if you would please, satisfy the voyuer in all of us because we'd love to stare too! Please post some pics!

Me want pics... Me want pics... NOW!

I hope that you and Axel share many miles and smiles together!

Enjoy & Motor On!

 

Enjoy reading the manuals I've had my car for a week, and I'm still adjusting the the quirky controls The clutch however is still a major thorn in my side (why is the friction point soooooo damn close to the driver!?!)

 

Congrats on your new Mini.

I have to wait til fall just to order mine.

 

Congrats on your mini! I know what you mean about staring at him. Can't help it their so purdy.

I plan to park mine out front so I can stare at her out the window while I am trying to work.

Don't forget the pics!

 

I've had mine since August and I still open the garage door sometimes just to look.

 

Okay , I am sure you all have seen pics of Minis but these are different .

because they are of mine lol

I already did a mod . I lost the rat tail antenna and put on a Alta 4 " mini .

 

SWEET!

Thanks for sharing!

Motor On!
