    As of tonight the LRW is no longer mine :'( :'( I'm sad to see it go since it is my first MINI and the car we brought Anna home in but the Countryguy is needed for our outdoorsy/ large dogs lifestyle. On to MINI number 4!!! :D:D:D:D

    You are correct. I am naming it Tardis. (the tardis is a girl on Dr. Who for anyone who doesn't know) Since it's blue and "bigger on the inside" than you think it is! :D

    Nothing better than 8 (near)solid hours of motoring! Too bad it was on the interstate... In the rain&fog...

    All in all, a good trip! Saw some frozen landscapes up north and thought we were in trouble, but roadways stayed wet (not frozen) there and back! :Thumbsup:

    Now the bad news: the Countrygal has a very nice burble that the BRG Justa is VERY envious of!

    ^ I should point out that I highly recommend the Bluetooth setup for minis. With my Bluetooth headset and the new Bluetooth mini setup, we were able to have hands free motoring conversations and make the 4 hours home pass very quickly... And warn each other of 'lesser motors' who weren't paying attention while in the rain/fog

    What are everyone's thoughts on how soon to do an oil change on the countryman? I know mini claims its ok for a llllooonnnggg time, but with a trip in march to GA and then the Dragon, I'm thinking there should be one prior to what the magic computer tells us...

    I always did a 3K mile oil change on new cars just to be safe and look to make sure there isn't a lot of junk in there. The BMW recomendations are crazy for that initial oil change.

    My other recomendation is "LOOK A THING YOUR WIFE IS INTERESTED IN!!!!!" then swap wheels :)

    Haha, tried that already... But it has 5 lug bolts... Won't fit on the Justa.

    So, 3k miles... That should be at least March then, right? ;)

    Darn are they 5X100? If so I could distract her and throw some steelies on there for you :) I have been considering more stylish winter wheels.

    Remember oil & filters are cheap. Engines are not.
