Picked up our Paddington last Saturday (the 6th). Sorry for the delay with the photos but been too busy motoring!

Paddington!





First Phantom Parking experience!


1-Day Old Paddington @ East Bay Mini's Motor-Tober Event!

 

Congrats!! Paddington Bear is a fine looking MCS, and you must be very proud. I'm sure Paddington will give you many, many miles of trouble free motoring!!! Great pics too.

 

Paddington Bear looks great., did you decide to go with a clear bra ?
Missed the East Bay get together as we were down at Disneyland, perhaps
meet you at another event.

 

Planning on doing the clear bra, just waiting for quotes from a couple places. I forgot, did you get clear bra? The 2 suggestions I got here was Omega Motorworks (across from EB Mini), and a place in Burlingame. Trying to find out price, material, warranty, etc.

It's too bad you didn't make it to the Motor-Tober event. We were late and ended up doing the run ourselves, but it was fun nontheless. Hope to meet you at another event soon. I believe Norcal Minis is doing a run to Pt. Reyes next Sat, are you planning on going?

Silverbullit, thanks for the kind comments!

 

Paddington is beautiful - CR is still my favorite color...

Donna

 

Thanks Donna!

Btw, for those interested, here's Paddington's spec list:

2007 Mini Cooper S
- Chili Red/White Roof & Mirrors
- White Bonnet Stripes
- Cold Weather Pkg
- White Turn Signals
- LSD, DSC, Sport Suspension
- English Oak trim
- Wood MFSW + Shift ****
- 16" bridgespokes w/ runflats
- Center Arm Rest

 

Drool....I LOVE the English Oak Trim too....Nice combo.

Donna

 

Hee hee, thanks again! Paddy's blushing!

It's hard for me to tell the difference between Hyper, Indi, and Lightning Blue, but I think it's b/c I haven't seen them all side-by-side. Why the switch to HB for you if you love CR so much?

 

Well....if you notice my signature.....the CR BURNED up....

Donna

 

Which is why I asked if there was a reason for the switch after the sad fate of your original CR Hurt too much to re-order another CR? Sorry, I won't pry if it's a sensitive subject

On another note, Paddington's stuck in the rain today, his first exposure

 

Yeppers - you are right on - we didn't want another CR to remind us everytime we drove the replacement.... So HB was really the only other color we both liked...

Donna

 

i hope that you love your MINI!!! its time to motor in paddinton bear!

I know that paddington bear has gone to a happy home... have fun teaching the significant other to drive him good luck

 

Yep have the clear bra.

Not making any plans for the next week or so, waiting for a phone call about the Spyder arriving and taking delivery of it. Been a long wait since February.

 

Thanks Amanda for EVERYTHING! From start to finish...and beyond, way, way BEYOND, you're the BESTEST!

 

Sweet ride Tharkun! I remember reading about the Spyder - certainly intriguing. Good Luck!
