Hello and welcome to MCUK, bet you will be counting the weeks and days to your delivery.
The S is a fantastic car, glad your enjoying it. I'm just coming up to my first year and 12,000 miles of owning my 3rd MINI. The twelve months have also seen Gap in the Alps, Alsace with the club last month, and also a quick trip to the north west of France. As for economy, I managed 432 miles on a tank back from Alsace with most of the driving near 80 mph. Could ask for more frugal fun to be honest
