Thanks for the comments!! I have been going the long way home just to get some more time behind the wheel. It really is harder than I thought keeping everything down during the break-in and I am looking forward to the first 1250 when I can really see what he will do.

Herozup, thanks for the compliment. the tint is 35% all around and IMHO looks very good on the DS/B. I hope yours arrives soon and safe and sound.

Thanks to everyone for the compliments. The MINI family is going to be a fun one to be a part of.

Great looking MINI !!!

Please mind the rules about break in - you will be glad of it in the long run !!

I am a bit over 3,000 miles now and just can't stop trying to break my 0-60 best time at every traffic light.... I keep telling myself it is not healthy to do this EVERY time I accelerate - but I have never been very convincing...
