Hey guys, I just picked up my 05 MCS two days ago, funny thing was I wasn't even sure about buying a new car, but i drove this one at the dealership and fell in love. It has the Sport, Premium, and Cold weather packages, it's got Dark Silver paint with the two tone Tuscan Beige (I think?) and Carbon black Leatherette, On board computer with nav, sirius satellite radio, and other fun things like that. I find that this car is just a sheer joy to drive, and I look forward to meeting other Mini enthusiasts in the future!

 

Congrats and welcome! It sounds like a pretty sweet MINI you got there. Post some pics when you get a chance. How do you like the NAV by the way? I had a Clubman loaner for a day and was messing with the NAV interface and I felt like I was technologically impaired or something. It just wasn't intuitive for me. But that was only after a couple hours so I'm sure it only gets better.

 

Oooo... factory NAV is delicious! I'm jealous! Leather and Nav are the only two options I didn't get on my MCS. Yours is very well equipped and I LOVE dark silver... sooooo sexy on the MCS. I am always torn though between deciding whether I like the white roof or the black roof with the Dark Silver... sometimes body coloured roof looks good too...

You will love this car for years two come! This is my second MINI! After years of owning MINI's I still get excited EVERY day to drive mine!

 

Thanks guys, the Nav is good, it works great, although it takes some getting used to as my old nav in my last car was a garmin nuvi, so it's totally different. I am excited to get out and do some track driving soon as well, if anybody has any tips as far as maintenance goes it would be greatly appreciated, and thanks for the warm welcome!

 

Welcome to the forum, hope you and your '05 have a long and fun filled future.

 

Hello and welcome! Sounds like a really nice MCS. I'm sure everybody here would love to see some pictures. Congratulations on the purchase.

 

thanks guys, ill take some pics today, I have to head up to york, ME to pick up some cameras for an event my magazine is throwing tomorrow, should be a fun little cruise! Seriously though, I have never enjoyed driving this much.

 

Welcome and enjoy your new MINI.

 

ok guys, My girlfriend and I took some pictures yesterday on our way home from picking up my equipment, she was a little dirty, but got some good stuff nonetheless! see for yourself, 56k beware!

 

Welcome, and Congrats. Dark silver still my Fav.

 

Someone wrote in another post that there were too many dark silvers out there...well I for one believe there's not enough! Nice ride Knighty!
