Gotta Love It!

Early report!

Picked up my MINI this morning at Motor City MINI (ordered 8/27, received 10/20) - left the dealership around 12:30. Arrived home about 100 miles and 2 hours later . (I took a few detours... love the look of the Hyper kit, and the feel of the sport suspension. Definitely worth the wait!

The experience was great, all options are present and accounted for, and my MINI passed my checklist with flying colors! It looks even better than I thought it would! The oak interior with the cream line white looks so rich, it's unbelievable!

It is one sweet ride! I would post pics, but my wife has the good camera! When she gets home, I'll take some pics and post them. Not sure if I should let my wife drive it or not... I can't afford to order another one right now.

Anyway... just got home, thought I would throw up an update... I think I gotta go and take it around the block again!!!!

What do you see? I copied these from the Michigan MINI forum - I can see them here, so perhaps my computer has them cached?

Do you see text? I'll try to repost them using the tools on this site.

Thanks!

Wow, Cooper with the Hyper kit looks great. I bet that is a fun drive. Your pictures are very good. I hope you enjoy many good drives. I understand about the wife driving the MINI, I think about it too. It would be a good reason to get a new MC with the Hyper kit. Then we would be two MINIs in the garage and the Jeep out in the snow.

Enjoy your MINI and welcome to NAM.
