Good luck on your MINI purchase with 162K miles think positive. Might think about some snow tires just to be on the safe side.

Anyone out there also week 47? My Mini completed production 11/20 and was released to carrier so I assume I am week 47. Nothing showing up on the WW site about her being prebooked. Anyone know if this is normal??? How long does it take for teh booking info to show up? Thanks!!

There is a week 47 thread lower down the list.....

I'm super excited. Mine is posting as awaiting transport. Here is the other Week 47 thread: http://www.northamericanmotoring.com...47-builds.html

Ok, I'm new here and have read the threads but anybody happy with the vinyl CF skin? I'm just wanting a good look. Gonna get CF mirror covers and a wing that I want to match. Had the white stripe look for too many years and time for a change. Hyde (formerly Einstein/Dr. Jekyll)

You'll want something that has multi-waypoint routing. That feature goes by different names depending on what brand GPS you are looking at. I bought a Nuvi 755t a couple months ago and have been very pleased with it. There are several options available for getting routes from something like Google Maps into the unit, but I haven't been 100% satisfied with the solutions.

If you don't mind saying...what kind of GPS unit do you have? I am looking for one that is able to have routes imported into it from perhaps Google maps, etc. Most of the units I see pick the route but I want to pick my own route for sightseeing. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thanks...

My Garmin 260W works great. I just use their maps and I never had a problem yet. Someone on this forum posted a program that let me put a red Mini Cooper with checkerboard top on it along with the Mini splash screen when I turn it on. It uses voice to tell me when & where to turn. I have it in a GPS cup holder that I got from Driving Comfort.com I also have a beanbag holder to put it on the dash but I like the cup holder mount better....

I have an old garmin now and love it. I'll upgrade next year when they release this http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-31066_7...ag=mncol;title I've used most of the other GPS systems on the market and just like the way the Garmin works. I find it to be easy to use and great for back road driving too.

Garmin 265T here...used it on a trip from here to AZ in March and worked great. Don't use it much in the City though. I had purchased a Tom Tom prior to the Garmin, but returned it due to Non-user Friendly!!
