I have been a reader of this fine web site for a few months now. Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen for all of the chatter...I have learned a lot about MINI's from here to keep me going while I wait for mine! So after what seems like years, my dealer tells me I now have just a 2-3 week wait till it gets here! YAHOOOOO!
Its gonna be a MCS Dark Silver, black roof, with DSC, 16"ers, Fogs and Computer.
Any suggestions on what I should be doing in the run up to the delivery? Should I be going to MINI University or something to to prepare? Should I be getting extra sleep now so that I can drive continuously day and night to get the break-in period out of the way as soon as possible? Any stretching exercises or weight training recommended for my gear change arm and left leg (which have'nt been used in years)???

Welcome to MINI2 and congrats on your upcoming delivery, Squidz!

In addition to weight training for your arms and legs, I suggest some smile training for your face as well

I would suggest arm muscle buiding exercises so that you will be able to reach for your wallet frequently to buy beer for your fellow SOMC without getting tired
