HO ordered in Ca

Hello All. My name is tim Baker and I just ordered a HO MCSC from Mini of concord. They were the only place I found in the Bay Area that would not charge over msrp .. It turns out that was only on the S convertibles but that is what I wanted anyway so good luck for me. Went with all the options including the LSD except for leather in a nod to economy . I went with the web rims too which I thought were a nice addition. I figure I can redo the seats if I want down the road for less probably anyway. I put our tag on the map too so wave if you see us.

Of course I wont be recieving it till about early sept at the earliest so let the waiting begin. By the way the north bay where i live hasw lots of great roads with which to bond with the mini. I was very impressed by the handling and pep. I like to drive high performance motorcycles and spend alot of time at the track. This is kind of like a four wheel motorcycle my wife can enjoy too. Whe does do short jaunts on the street up highway one and such but all the gear I make her wear is knda a turnoff for her. Cant wait to put the top down

Welcome to the fold!

Niello in Sacramento won't charge over MSRP either. That's where we ordered ours from.

Mini Roads: Hwy 1 going north out of Mill Valley
Hwy 25 going south from Hollister
Hwy 120 to Yosemite
Hwy 128 from Santa Rosa to Jenner.

HAVE A BLAST!

Not sure where that is Maybe in Pleasanton? The mini seems popular in the Bay area . Now that I'm looking i see lots. I have a prius too which has its own qualities but the MINI beats it on fun factor . Prius has geek factor hands down.
