Greetings from Monterey, CA!

Well, after gestating since mid-November, my new Mini finally arrived this weekend! It's a Mini Cooper S convertible, laser blue with denim top and white stripes.

I'm switching from an unspeakably drab Ford Fusion Hybrid, so I couldn't be more excited! I'm looking forward to participating in and learning from this community!

Nnnnnnnice, beautiful! Tryin' to get the girly to buy one and that would be the color right there...

I was stationed in Monterey when Fort Ord was open and I know what you mean about the Big Sur or Hwy 1 and your new baby...

Thank u for the pic

I can top that CP - I was born at Fort Ord (back when dinosaurs roamed the peninsula!).

Very nice mini... Go drive that puppy for me, and give me a vicarious thrill...

Kind regards,

Charlie
