Besides the great motoring I've been able to do, I've also enjoyed becoming part of the community that is the Tar Heel MINI Motoring Club. Getting to know other Mini owners and enjoying activities with them has been a blast. It has certainly enhanced the entire ownership experience.
As far as the Mini itself, it is running great. I have had the sunroof sticking in hot weather problem this summer, though the slightest push up on the glass solves that. Lately on my way in to work I'm hearing some kind of thumping or rattling sound. It is so subtle, I cannot even pin down whether it is coming from inside or outside the car, but I think it may be the trim piece in between the front seats. Hard to say. Otherwise, everything has been working great and running great. Looks like my first service is going to come at around 20k miles. Not sure how I feel about that. Never had a car that uses synthetic oil, but I guess I'll trust Mini to know what they are doing. I am going to work on a sheet with the service items from the manual and do my own "sort of" service. Probably need to try rotating my tires myself as well, but that will require a jack and some jack stands.
Bottom line - great car!
