I scored a MINI!

I just got an 06 Cooper! Some of you might have seen me lurking around reading everything I can before going out and ordering one. Well, I just moved to San Diego and went to the dealership and they had a gorgeous Solar Red / Silver Cooper there and I knew it was for me! Maybe some of
you saw it at the San Diego Autoshow.

Anyways, I've had it for about three weeks and 2,000 miles and I LOVE it!!! I've been waving at every MINI I see just like a good MINI owner should. I've only had a couple wave backs though, they make my day.

OK, here's some info:

Solar Red and Silver w/ silver bonnet stripes
all the packages
chrome lined interior and exterior
aero kit
driving lights
piano seven dash
xenons
HK
chrono
panther leather
that's all I can think of right now, there could be more though.

Congratulations!

Awesome looking ride. Nice to see another San Diego MINI

Mine is in production with a mid May delivery so I will keep an eye out for you.

Until then, happy motoring!

Pretty neat, but I'm starting o get jealous, I'm yet to see a SR MINI and sounds like they all keep going to SoCal, guess its reason for a road trip. They look pretty sweet in the photos, glad to hear your enjoying the new ride!
