Got my new Cooper S yesterday

I quite like it, still getting used to it but I love how easy it is to reverse in it haha. I was thinking about ordering a regular cooper but after driving the cooper s my smile went from :) to :D lol. Anyway here are two pictures since everyone love them :) (click to enlarge). The funny thing is before driving it today to work I hadn't seen it during the day since every time I was at the dealer it was at night.

Welcome! Looks good! I got mine a month ago and it's the same but with a black top and chrome mirrors. That color looks real good all clean and shiny- stupid record snow fall in the northeast! -Alex

Yeah I know the snow makes them look awful, at least blue fares better than white, my old Astra didn't look too awful.

It's Horizon Blue, I picked it off the lot because it did look pretty sick. The web spokes do look much better than some of the other options, yipes they are ugly haha.

I like it! Had I not wanted to go red (like my last 2 ex-wives, but... different), I would have went with Horizon Blue.

Yeah the car payment is enough I didn't want to top it off with tickets haha. Red is my favourite after the two blue colours.

Really nice, Project! I got my current MINI off of the lot but I would have ordered the white roof with my horizon blue if I could have. I love those wheels also.

Welcome aboard! That's a great looking S! I think that VA - aside from NoVa near DC - has some great driving roads. Once the weather turns it'll be time to turn & burn.

Drive 'er in good health!

Looks great. I love the color combo -- Horizon Blue with the white roof and mirrors. Love the contrast of dark color and white roof?

Just wondering, did you get the sunroof?

I am very happy for you. I just got my mini also this week and tucked it away in my garage due to 2 feet of snow and ice. I tried to wait until Spring to buy it but then I caved in like a two dollar suitcase. I love the white roof to on the Horizon Blue.

No sunroof, not a big fan of them as I had a Volvo with one and it never sealed properly.

Thanks for the kind words everyone
