Hello, Order my Car today !!!one!!!eleven!!!!

Hey guys, new here. Not sure if you have heard of it, but this is the great car on the road called a Mini Cooper (or something like that). You all sound like you may like a car like that...

Kidding!

I ordered my BRGreen S Convert loaded. Hot Choco insides and Oak dash, hope it looks sweet!

Anyway, now I am on the waiting game, doing my best not to go nuts.

Live in Harpers Ferry WV (Northern VA area).

Congrats. I've had my 09 MCS convertible for over two years and still get at least one grin with every drive! This is the most fun car I've ever owned. I sold my BMW 323 convertible (which I loved for 9 years) and bought the MINI.

I did not buy the removable windscreen initially but it makes a huge difference. I later bought it from a dealer on line at a lower price. With the WS in place and the seat heat I can have the top down in at temps well below 50 deg comfortably.

Enjoy your MINI!!

Congrats... Mine just came off production on Friday 08/12 and is awaiting transport to the port. This site will help you with the waiting anxiety...at least it has me.

After viewing some videos of motoring without and with the windscreen I went ahead and purchased one so I'm ready to motor with the top down as I leave the dealership. I found mine at amazon from a dealership out west for $350.

I think I am in on the WS, will start looking for it now.

I was going to pass, because the seats I ordered (hot choco with the tan piping) look so good poking up with the BRG. But after taking another look, you will still see them.

I am hoping the "sport" seat bolster soften up a bit, the one I borrowed was a bit stiff.

Got mine yesterday! It's pretty awesome! They said it would take 7-10 days, but I had it in two! So cool!
