My DS/B MCS arrived at the dealer here in Germany on 29 Aug, and I took delivery on the 30th. The car exceeded my expectations in every way. I travel a 10 mile road with over 70 curves, and the first drive home was simply spectacular. Today, I took her out on her first trip on the autobahn. It was difficult keeping within the limits for the break-in period (most of the autobahn does not have a speed limit).

300 miles in two days. I figure that by the end of next weekend, I will be able to motor full tilt. Pics are posted in the members gallery pg 42 (cooper_1 - cooper_5a)

Gotta love this car!! :grin: :grin: :grin:

Congratulations Kevin!!!! It's beautiful of course! So, have you decided yet... boy or girl... name? A nice German name perhaps? You lucky kdog, you- the autobahn already? Will it be coming home to the states some day? Have a great time with your MCS out there.

Motor On! :grin:

Congrats KDog!

You are so LUCKY to have the Autobahn right there.....I would LOVE to try that out......
What with the max speed limits here being 60mph (yeah like I really obey that one on a regular basis :razz:)

Have a blast! Your MINI is beautiful!

Cheers!

Have not decided on a name yet, but definitely a she. We'll be coming back to the states in just over a year. It is a thrill on the autobahn, so far nothing over 90 MPH though.

Congrats Kdog! I fell in love with the old Mini's during my tour in Germany, but wouldn't bring anything home that wouldn't meet US specs. What a joyful shock to discover the new Mini last year. I wish I could take Tabby back to Germany and go through the back roads through all the curves and switchbacks! I do envy you, enjoy and tell us all about it! :grin:
