Just bought an 07 red cooper s

Hey, I just picked up a red Mini Cooper S with a white roof this past monday and have been loving every second of driving it, even with having to deal with the break in. I passed on the ordering a custom one because there was one I liked on the lot and they gave me a slight discount on MSRP. I just got the basic premium, cold weather, and auto lights wiper options. I like it a lot so for even with coming from a RSX typeS I like the mini more. I'll be sticking around the forums and asking some questions im sure

Here are some pictures of it. I waited too long for good lighting.

I made the same choice and went for a car on the lot. It is not exactly as I would have configured it, but I am loving ever minute of the drive. Congratulations!

Yeah, I was impressed to fine one on the lot very close to my choices. The only thing I really would have liked was the LSD. But I was impatient.

Welcome to NAM!!! I got mine off the lot as it had about everything I wanted. With all the moanin and groanin posted by the ones who order I'm not sure I would like to put up with that. On the other hand tracking it's progress would probably be fun.

Congrats!!!

Lucky you to find one close to your wants right on the lot.

Our local dealership had many of the color combo I wanted, but they all had the same features, period.

I'm in waiting for my order Chili Red/White Roof & Mirrors. I wanted the upgrade on the sterio system which was a no give. I also don't like real leather (sorry leather lovers). I'm not a PETA member. I just don't like that it doesn't hold up well to sun/heat/butt sitting/etc. But hey that's what keeps a big part of our business going, leather seats. My hubby also wanted the web rims and Sport Package.

Enjoy you car!!!

Share some pic so we waiters have some eye candy to get us by.

Well i strolled in june 30th deciding to test drive and walked out putting a deposit on the car They just gave me a discount cause it was the last day of the month, but i figured it was a good deal for a mini. I'll get some pictures tomorrow.
I was all for the cloth seats they are pretty nice and with that huge sunroof, probably a good idea.

Ill get some pics of it tomorrow.

Wow, nice looking Mini! So, how do you like it compared to your RSX?

I have a regular RSX now and thinking about getting a Mini too. Just not sure if i should get a MC or MCS....

Wow!!!

Nice eye candy for we in waiting.

Looks like what I ordered except the hubby had one want of his own, on my car, web spoke rims. This wasn't a biggy with me so he got it.

Enjoy some drive time for me would you? I've still got a few weeks.

Congrats ! Nice lookin' MINI !!

But you need to get with the program. There's no such thing as a "red" MINI !! You can't say red when talking about a MINI without saying either "CHILI", "NIGHTFIRE", or "SOLAR" in front of it.

But since you posted pics of it, I'll let you slide. This time.

Now... fix that thread title.

Thats still confusing me reading other poeples threads who use the color's name. Not sure my friends would know what I was saying if I told them I got a chili mini

No, No, No... you still got it wrong ! You can't say CHILI without adding RED.

And you don't have a mini. You have a MINI !

Newbs. :impatient

Okay, repeat after me: "Hey guys, How do you like my new Chili Red MINI Cooper S?".
