The good news is that I will be getting my MINI back this next week with her new motor... the bad news is that they are recommending going through 1200 miles of torture again .
It was hard enough the first time when I didn't really know what she could do...
So... taking recomendations on a 1200 road trip that won't be full of twisty temptations...
Oh and maybe a little NAM sympathy...

 

I guess that situation beats a second break-in to the car, which is what I thought of when I saw the title of your thread. No matter where you go on your road trip, it's going to seem like forever until that odometer hits 1201 miles.

 

I'd rather be robbered than need a new engine every X miles......

 

Yes - the extended warranty won't be helping in another 63k...

 

Sorry,,, let it warm up, then drive it like you stole it. It will run better, last longer, and get better mileage.
