Hi Everyone,

New here and here is our new addition (combination of my Christmas and birthday present):







She is a 2007 R56 Cooper S with JCW stuff (auto). Date of the car is 11/2007, bought it 12/10/07. She has all the packages except for NAV and one other (the one that has bluetooth).

Funny story about this car ..... We where ready to order our special car when we went to East Bay Mini (Great folks !!), they spent a ton of time helping us out. After about an hour of searching, Shelley (the manager) came back to us and said "Surprise", we have your custom designed car in stock and just arrived yesterday afternoon ..... The car was not even in the inventory records yet. We managed to get our exact design without having to compromise that same day. We ended up spening 8 hours at the dealer that day (kids held up little true troopers) and drove off that night with a new mini s and only 5 miles on the clock.

Already installed my GPS (Nuvi) using Kuda mount (best way to go) and blue tooth setup (posted a review of that experience already) plus a couple other tweaks

Now looking forward to the Vegas rally

Cheers,
Roberto

 

Very nice MINI and without the wait! Happy Motoring!

 

East Bay is great. I really appreciated their attitude and courtesy. Great looking car, and I'm really happy for you!

 

Wow - how lucky you are! Congrats and it's beautiful...

Very nice!
Congrats, and welcome to the family!

 

WOW ! What a story. Are you sure it wasn't just a dream about the perfect buying experience (all but the 8 hr. thing)? Congratulations on your new ride, sweeeet!

 

Thanks for the kind words !

I still wake up checking the garage to see if it was a dream and glad to see its all real

 

Your Cooper is awesome and that aero kit on it looks sweeet! I've had my Mini for almost a year now and i sometimes stare at it and can't beleive I finally got it for real. Congratulations!
