1 Year of Motoring!!!

Ok saturday was the official 1 year mark, but hey, I was driving this weekend and not typing

Thought I'd offer a quick 12 month review...

Picked up from MINI of Peabody on Friday in the rain .. Somehow a cold rainy day seemed to be the proper weather for picking up my British buggy

A couple niggles early on: Replaced wastegate, replaced intercooler boot, replaced flywheel.. all w/in about 800 miles of eachother.

Now I'm past the 16,000 mile mark. Driven all over New England and up Mt Washington (couldn't make MINIs on Top this year so I did my own MINI on Top) and this little ride is as much fun as the day the day Joel gave me the keys .. actually more fun b/c break-in is long since gone!

So a big THANKS to Joel and the rest of MINI of Peabody! I'm looking forward to many more miles of smiles and years of motoring!

Nice!!! You'd think the newness would wear off or the motoring would become more mundane, but this just hasn't happened for me.
