Mcsc Has Arrived!
I am cheating here just a bit as this is not my first post. Please bear with me however as it is like I am starting over. Some might remember my bragging a bit about finding the exact MCSC that my wife wanted on the dealers lot in Pittsburg. Then, after posting my message I was alarmed at getting friendly messages from you all, fearfull that my wifes surprise Christmas present would be ruined. All worked out well however as the car arrived & was successfully hidden until the big day.
My wife was, to say the least, stunned by the cool blue w/ blue top cooper s cabrio, complete with premium pak, xenons, blue leather / orange cloth, exterior & interior chrome line, cold weather etc.., waiting for her in the garage on Christmas morning. The car is an absolute blast, even with below zero temps & 8 inches of fresh snow. At least when spring does arrive it will be like getting a new car again, with the top down.
My next chore is to convince her that we need to attend the "Dragon" drive, or whatever it is being called. I've covered that section of road already once, by bicycle. It must be a real blast in a Mini.
Anyway, thanks for the welcome & I am looking forward to a continued learning curve here with you all.
Happy Holidays to all,
Richard

Congrats on the new ride. 
Just ran the Tail of the Dragon Tuesday. We had a blast!!!!!!! Sunny, 56 degrees and not much traffic. Hope she lets you drive it some...

A surprise? Great job. How do you hide a MINI? Restrict her movements?
I guess some people don't need to go in the garage and don't have a car in there already taking up space.
Your options sound great. Did you decorate the MINI for christmas?
Tail of the Dragon? Tell her it is "mandatory" to attend unless you are surrounded by water in all directions for at least 3300 miles, then you are excused.
