It's been a long time coming...

but I finally got a Mini! Picked it up yesterday, '05 MCS Hyper Blue/Black/Black leather. I've only been wanting one since, oh, 1965 when I didn't buy the grey/red one cause I didn't have the $300. Well, happy to be here, delighted with the car. I know BMW of Dallas has taken some knocks but this transaction was smooth and professional. Later...

BMW of Dallas does deserve some praise. They get it right a lot of the time, in my opinion.

Welcome from Dallas!

Yeah, it's bad luck to have a MINI without a name.

Thanks all for the warm welcome!

Name? Perhaps after we get to know each other better. But the vanity plate will be NS GDL.

Good guess! Wrong language tho. In Hebrew it would be pronounced NESS GADOL, meaning "A Big (or Great) Miracle", which I thought would be funny on a little car.
