My Beauty is home !!!

I brought my BRG MCS Cabrio beauty home yesterday.

No pix yet, 'cause it hasn't stopped snowing.

I'm reluctant to drive too much on summer tires in all this snow and slush.

Also, I can't stand the thought of the ugly road salt on my new car. About 19 out of 20 cars here in New Hampshire are dirty grey color. A fresh car wash is good for about 75 feet.

I'll wait 'till next fall to get a set of snows on steel wheels.

If you are a MINI wannabe, and live in New England go to MINI of Peabody.
If you have to, go out of your way to get there. EVERYONE at MOP is ACES !!!

Congrats . I understand how you feel about salt and grime. I got mine a month ago and any slight hint of snow and into the garage she goes. I did get hit by a few rocks on the road d*mn sand they use , not to mention the chemicals ...anyway I digress sorry. Once again enjoy!

Hey, how's it going? Sweet choice of car I'm just south of you in Merrimack. So far, I have not seen any MINI Convertibles on the road here in southern NH. Maybe I'll see yours around sometime soon.

I too, am very impressed with MINI of Peabody. I am buying my cool blue MCC through them, and hopefully it will be ready in time for the warm weather. I am going down in about two weeks to place my order.

If you don't mind me asking, when did you place your order? I am just trying to get an idea of how long I can expect to wait. I have asked other people who have ordered cars through MINI of Peabody, and it seems that people are waiting about 8-9 weeks on average from order to delivery. Was your wait time comparable, or are the convertibles starting to get high demand with spring just around the corner?

Thanks in advance.....
