Yay, I'm excited for you!! Did you just place your order recently? I just put down a deposit, but am waiting to order a 2010 MINI...but the wait is going to kill me because right now I don't even know how long it will be! I'm hoping to be driving my new car in October, but we'll see.

The website has a huge lag - check out this thread for an in-depth tracking guide:

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d-updated.html

The easiest thing to do is call 866.ask.mini and use the automated system and your production number to get the current status. If your MA provideed you with a spec/order sheet it will have an estimated production week on it as well.

Wow -- I am jealous of your mileage. Assume that is highway. I only have 1200 miles on my '09 MCS and I can't keep my foot out of the turbo. I am about 24 mpg in mainly in town driving so far. Physics is hard to defeat...if you want to play with 172 HP you have to PAY for 172 HP worth of gas .....

Yes, it's mostly highway. We live 12 miles from groceries and 40 miles from daughters.

Lolly averages about 6 mpg better than our former 2007 MCSm. I miss the turbo, but like the fuel economy. With 3 plus-size adults on board, Lolly just holds her own on hills.

At 60 mph, Lolly gets 43 mpg. I would like to try a tankful at 45 mph, but it really would not be safe with everyone else passing impatiently. It is bad enough at 60!

NEW UPDATE....

SO my LOOOOONG awaited MiMi is finally here! I picked up my baby on 9/25th with everything i wanted: sports package w/blk web, lsd, multi function wheel, and bonnet strips (PICTURES SOON TO COME!). On the very next day i got my tint and cilajet done. I finally have MiMi all to myself today... ::sigh:: what a good feeling. This is going to be a fun adventure driving MiMi.... <3


much love...

*(pictures up now :] )
