My first Mini!

Bough a pre-owned 2008 hard top yesterday. I'm STOKED to go pick it up tomorrow! Astro Black with black leatherette interior. Gonna be fun! Are there any pick-up-from-the-dealer rituals I need to do?

Also wondering if anyone has any suggestions of where to look for a trunk organizer. I've tried the Marketplace here at NAM but can't find what I'm looking for. I've also seen a couple on Amazon (didn't like) and Mini's official site (liked but want to see what else is out there). Any suggestions? I'm a baseball umpire and would like something to put my protective gear in that I can also take out and carry with me easily enough.

Thanks!

Welcome!
Enjoy your new MINI, the pick up should be fun.
As to aftermarket stuff, there are quite a few places that have been around a long time and have a lot to look at.
