Hi guys ang gals this is my first post on here.

this place is very infectious.. after browsing for a few weeks anonomously, i took the decision to join and contribute, firstly this site us a great resource for mini owners and the forums are very informative. after reading all the information here and making a rather excited decision, i have finally placed an order for a cooper s last weekend. i was told that to expect for a october build date and a november delivery date. i expect to hear from the dealership soon. to confirm this. anyone else buying one that has an idea when they will arrive, so i can start to get excited.

further queries that you guys could answer are:

1) whats the run in period for the coopers, miles and rev limit guides
2) tips on receiving the car from the dealership, what to get done before taking the car home.
3) care and driving tips for the run in period.
4) suspicious mpg quotes, what should i expect during the first 10k? 22-25mpg?

keep up the great work on this forum and i look forward to chatting with folks soon.
