New MINI - first time motoring

I've been around cars for a while - this is my first time motoring in a MINI. We picked up our 06 Space Blue/Silver Cooper on Saturday, August 26 at Cincinnati MINI. First up, tint windows and figure out how to get XM back up and running. In a few weeks we'll take it back for a center armrest and V-Bonnet stripes.

We live in Versailles, KY (just outside Lexington). I'm in IT and public safety - the wife is IT as well. We have a 14 month old daughter and a mini-van for when its time to travel.

Space Blue and silver--yummy! My other favorite. Good choice on adding the stripes.

Happy Motoring, and welcome to NAM!
