Hello good friends.

Sorry I haven't been able to post pics until now. It's everything they said it would be...and more! My kids keep going out to the garage just to sit in it..so do I. After it gets broken in a bit, I'll do some you-ificationizing. Kind of liking that JCW leather dash. That and a little pully. Hoping for speedy deliveries to all those in transit and dock side. See you stateside.

hi minprof,

Not sure yet but I have to do something about that interior dash and door trim. I got the interior chrome which I really like. Maybe I'll eventually paint the plastic dash or go for the leather (ouch$$). For now, I'm just going to settle in the drivers seat, break it in and have fun.

Actually, I was considering the black Aero grill and some PIAA lights. But I'm not in a hurry.

Swizzle, somehow the car looks even sweeter knowing it's one from our family! That is one beee-ooootifull MINI! Just makes me all the more excited about getting mine, but since that won't be happening until August 9 I'm going to be living off of all of the pics/posts of my friends here - so be sure to keep 'em coming!

Hey swizzle, I'm thinking seriously about that dash too - fell in love with it instantly! I'd just have to figure out how to get it in since I'd be too nervous to try it myself. Plus I really think I'd need to save up a while for that one.

Congrats again, friend!

Hey cooperminis

Did you see this link from Motoring File? It has a few notes on installation.

http://www.motoringfile.com/2006/04/...-leather-dash/

I thought I also read more detailed installation notes somewhere on this site, perhaps in "Interior & Exterior Mods". If I find it, I'll post the link.

Heroz...both you and the car discharged? Congrats and try to get a little sleep.

Swizzle
Stir it Up!

Great looking ride Swizzle, thanks for posting the pics.

The WW website shows that Minitenango has been released from the Courage as well! Hopefully they are already at the VDC!

Boy am I worried.

We're scheduled to leave off on our trip on Fri evening.

The dealer now says our car might not arrive until Friday.

I'm supposed to be working Friday.

Eek!

Thanks All! Hope to see more owners get their Mini and post pics. We are really happy with our Mini and also glad we got the last of the series, that is a 2006. Timing was good for our purchases.

Couldn't resist and on the way home tonight I stopped by my dealership to see if my MINI was waiting for me. They were just pulling it into the showroom when I pulled up. I sat in it for a while, talked about accessories with my MA, how nice it looked with the tinted windows, etc... was VERY hard to drive away until tomorrow morning. I did snap a shot with my camera phone though. I'm borrowing my father in law's good camera for the pickup tomorrow.
