Note to self: Never, never, ever trust anyone, especially the dealer, to air up your tires correctly. Picked the car up about a month ago and left town the day after purchase, got back a week ago, checked pressure today, and was low an average of 7 PSI. Amazing what a little air does for ride quality and handling. Not to mention making my Goodyear RFTs last a little longer.

Now to find the correct seating adjustment, to prevent rear end numbness.

 

I would only add...check your torque as well. Those 2 simple things are critical to success in a MINI...assuming you have proper oil and octane. Motor on.
