New To Me '11 Hardtop

Hi all, patiently waiting for the paperwork to be finished. Signed everything on Wednesday with approved credit. Hope fully the '11 BRG2 hardtop will be available on Monday. At any rate, hello from Plum Island, MA. The car has slightly over 3K miles on it.

-Lee

Went through some frustration with the process and miscommunications but I believe it will all work out in the end. Thanks and tomorrow is Monday, hooray.

Well it's now three years since I got the Mini. I bought it with my son who has been driving it and inflicting wear on it. At any rate he's headed permanently for the west coast so the payments and the car are all mine. Wednesday it gets stripes (white) and a hard installed GPS. Here are a few recent photos of it (taken today). I'll try to post a bit more frequently. I'll also post some post stripe photos.

The car is still looking great! Post pictures once you get the stripes done.

I love the viper stripes! Looks fantastic. Your son looks to have done a great job taking good care of the MINI!

His care ebbed and flowed; I was riding herd somewhat. At any rate it looks pretty good now but could definitely use some paint touch-ups here and there. I'm still replacing minor things like missing mats, damaged visors, missing Ipod connector, and will need to do some paint repairs here and there. So just don't look too close.

Where in Maine?

Congrats on your new MINI, HogWldFLTR and thanks for the progression of pics. I see you wasted no time with the stripes. They look fantastic. Happy motoring and please don't forget to wave.

Spent a fair amount of time on Sebago as a youth. Live pretty much on the coast on the border of NH now.

Other than the three years my son drove it (now wasted time). Funny around here I haven't had one Mini driver wave. Hardly get waves on the MC either. Here's one more photo.

Sebago area is really nice. Nice driving loops around down that way. The roads up in Hampden are a bit on the wild side at times.

I remember them from my teen years. Darn that was fun before the consciousness about drinking and driving. Somehow we survived in one piece.
