Zippy was a year old 2 Jun....so why does it feel like it's only been a month or so? Seems like there should still be that "new car smell," but I guess it doesn't usually last 16K miles. I was just thinking yesterday how glad I am about the lucky chain of events that actually brought this car to the U.S. I love this car! I STILL think of reasons to go to the store (etc) so I can get back out and drive it....hmm, where'd I leave that shopping list?

I joined the one year club on July 22nd this year with my MCS. 8500 miles, and I had the dealer do the oil service, change out the coolant tank (I am not really sure it was leaking, but they changed it anyway with a coolant flush and fill), fixed a vibrating center vent on the dash, and a small piece of trim molding. This was was first and only visit to the dealer for service! I am also another MCS owner that loves this car as much today as when I first bought it! For anyone thinking of getting this car, don't let some of these posts upset you, it is a great car!
P.S. It was cool getting an email from MINI USA on the one year birthday, to tell me to give my car some TLC with a fresh coat of wax and a wash "behind the mirrors."

Delivered August 6. 10,000 miles in the first 50 days.... 31,000 total so far. I'll be pushing 40,000 by the end of September. 3 year warranty only lasting a year and half... oh well. Hopefully I'll get all the bugs worked out by then. (New Tranny, Clutch, 6 attempts on the airbag light)
Motor on!!!
