Road Trip!

Just picked up a 2007 MCS last Friday night. She has 36K on her and is nice. This Friday I am driving it from SC to Colorado to visit friends and then back. Looking forward to cruising across the plains! Just wanted to share!

When you get out here to CO< let us know on the Mini 5280 forum if you want to chill with some fellow Mini drivers!

I was going to say "plains?" but just realized SC is South Carolina.

That looks like a long drive. I'd stay off the interstates and find a somewhat curvey minor highway to travel along. Likely more scenic and interesting.

Have a safe and enjoyable drive.

Made it back. 3180 miles in total and every one of them was a blast!

Car was much more comfortable than you would assume and throw in the small amount I ended up paying for gas and a smile just creeps across the face.
