Well we are about a third of the way on our road trip! Thought I would check in. The MINI is an awsome road car. I have read some posts about it being tiring on long trips, not true for us. The seats are perfect and when compared to a mule, they're heaven.

We are getting just shy of 32 MPG (real numbers not the OBC). Seems to be plenty of gas everywhere, best prices in the smaller towns. Looks slightly cheaper today. :smile:

Did get a speeding ticket in Jemez NM. But it was a speed trap (47 in a 35). One of those western things where it goes from 65 to 35 and the sign was behind a cactus. $85 bucks for the town kitty.

Heading for Brice today. Then on to some good twisties.

That's awesome - glad to see you're having a wonderful time with your new baby. Fantastic way to break it in too. Just curious though, 2500 miles is about 48% of the 5200 mile journey, so why are you only a third done?

 

Sounds like a good trip. Post pics we all would love to see Your MINI out motoring

Cheers
