March Updates:

Newton had a dead battery but he got a new battery and I haven't had any issues since.

I motored 13.5 hours straight from Orlando to Washington, DC stopping only for gas twice and 15 minutes for lunch. On the return trip, I stopped two nights in Spartanburg, SC and attended Hendrick MINI's 10th birthday party in Charlotte, NC. Total miles motored was 1,986 (3,196 km). Resetting at each fill-up, my indicated fuel efficiency for four tanks was 37.9 mpg, 37.5 mpg, 38.1 mpg, and 38.6 mpg. Average speeds: 71.4 mph, 60.0 mph, 62.9 mph, and 73.8 mph. My MINI Sport Antenna, which had previously cracked and was superglued, broke completely during the trip.

I entered Newton in the 2012 All British Car Show last weekend and he won 1st Place in the New MINI class among 11 MINIs.
