I got me one!!!

Hello all!

Yesterday I went to Atlanta and came home with a 2007 MCS DS/W!!!

Update: Her name is Haylie! (after the lead Violinist of the british music group "bond")

My sister has had a Solid Gold 04 for several years, and I have been hooked on MINI's since they were debuted. I have been autocrossing for a bout 4 years (including my sister's Gold MINI ) and I plan on continuing to do the same with this one!

Here is some more specifics:
Bonnet Stripes
Black cloth and blue leather interior
6-speed
LSD
Xenon Headlamps
White Turn Signals
Sport Suspension
Multi-Function steering wheel

I cant wait to get this thing out on the autocross courses later this year, and since I came from a V8 full size pick-up, I am also looking forward to the gas mileage!

I have been interested in MOTD for several years as well, but it appears to be the weekend before finals but maybe I can come up for one day of the event, since I dont live too far from the Dragon lol.

Look forward to getting to know everyone on NAM!



(Sorry havn't had a chance to take pictures yet this one was taken with my phone...lol)


These are from the dealers website.

oooo.
The envy :p

A brand new mini is only a dream for me.
I have my eyes set on revamping one ^_^

But first, I have to find out the exact model - so you guys can tell me what potential there is for shizzle under the hood!
