My Chili Red Cooper S just arrived!

I've been a member since my order date, but I just flew to Cleveland Ohio (Classic Mini) to pick up my new Red on Red '05 MCS. It was a nice 700 mile trip back home.

I didn't get a lot of options to save on the cost. I wanted a fast go-kart without all the fluff. :D
Red on Red, multi-function wheel, fog lights, 17" S Lites and that was it. I really wanted the Traction Lock but didn't like the $500 price along with the $500 base increase. I got in just in time for the lower base.

Here she is!

Sweet!

You and I Both Know, that the red ones go faster! Happy Break In, I've got less than 150 miles to go! (but I was delivered on the 10th, so you can see I been busy!).

Nice car,
Tatt

Hey Stylin!

Looks great!

I am picking-up my CR/CR MCS from Julie on Feb. 23. I had heard another came in. Congrats! I also will have a drive home...but mine will be about 3000 miles as I am taking a couple of detours.

Enjoy it!

Awesome! That is the first red on red I've seen without stripes, and I love it! That was my finalist between cr/b with bonnet stripes, which is what I went with. Now I know I love em both.

You must be from Oregon? She mentioned someone on the west coast flying in soon.

Actually from Ojai, CA. We are going to take a longer southerly route and try to avoid bad weather, i.e. snow! In addition there are family and friends to visit along the way very near to the Mexico border.

Is all well with yours? Any problems?

Which mats did you get?!!!

Welcome to the 'reds'. I had to get the CR/W because all my favorite teams are red/white. Good reason, huh.
Go Cincinnati Reds, Miami Redskins (not Redhawks ), and Fairfield Indians, and sort of Cincinnati Bengals (okay, they are close to red)

She thinks all these other reds are really pretty.

Great color choice and welcome to the MINI family
