Mini's First Road Trip
 
Just got my Mini on Thursday! 07 silver MCS. I will include pictures at the end of this. We took it on our first road trip also. Took it about 3 hours south from Reading,PA area to Rehoboth Beach DE. The car ran like a champ and space is no longer really going to be an issue. We fit a large crate, our bags, pillows, a mini dachsund and our 85lb lab comfortably, just put the back seats down with a heavy cover and he slept the whole trip. I love this car already. Anyway here are some pics :) looking forward to future experiences!!! :):) **pics are from our small place at the beach**

It's really quite surprising what can fit in the back with the seats down. I also have a new-to-me 2007 MCS and am loving it.

Very cool! I have fond memories of Rehoboth from when I was very small.

(Now I'm rather large.)

There is no size limit to go to Rehoboth. You should go back, it has changed a bit. I have been going there for 31 years. My wife and I actually got married on the beach there 2 years ago :)

There is a minor detail of about 3500 miles between me and there any more. Maybe if I visit my aunt out in Lewes some day...
