My NEW 07 MCS Convertible has arrived!!!

My Chili Red 2007 MCS Convertible has arrived. The pictures has been posted in the Gallery. I picked it up friday 01/05/07. I have put 300 miles on her up to this date! Yes Sir! It is everything I expected it would be and more. I LOVE THIS LITTLE CAR!!!! I picked it up from Tom Bush Mini in Jacksonville, Fl. I bought this car to replace by Honda Goldwing 3 wheel Trike. You can see pictures of the trike and the Mini at www.ragsandmore.com at the bottom of the home page. Both are beautiful pieces of machinery but now, I don't have to put on rain gear, a helmet or talk through a mike to my passenger or freeze. Plus I can have two more passengers!! The Mini is as fun, if not more fun, than a trike. When it rains I just put the top up and if it gets cool I turn on the seat warmers and heater control. Plus I can hear the Radio!!! It also is safer in a collision! I will enjoy this car! Thanks Mini for a job well done!

Great looking MCSC! Enjoy your new pride and joy and welcome to MINIdom!

I recommend one of the first mods you get for your new cabrio is a wind deflector. It really does cut down the wind noise.

Congrats! Glad yours arrived safely, and too bad we did not cross paths when I picked up my 2007 MCSC 2 days earlier from Tom Bush MINI also!

What a great looking car, congratulations CR is the "fastest" color.
From your gallery I see that you have a SC I thought the '07 was turbo? ...Happy Motoring

Got my '06 MCS from Tom Bush Last Friday.

Did you see the Pepper White MCS with the JCW pkg? My wife told my that I could get that one, but the 500 miles on the odo put me off. Got a Hyper Blue/Silver Roof, Bonnet stripes, and mirror MCS with 6 speed, premium pkg, chrono pkg, fog lights, 17" S rims, and H/K stereo. I'm out of town for the next few weeks, so my wife gets to enjoy it...Z (No longer a wanna-be!)

P.S. Maybe we'l see each other around.

We had to make a quite trip to North Ga. after Christmas. Finished breaking the Cooper in. Adv. 61 mph, 33 mpg. Rain, heavy traffic, and idling quite a bit.

You will find that you both have great cars.

Welcome to NAM

The '07 Convertibles are essentially unchanged from '06, so they still have the same engine and supercharger as the earlier cars.

The "07" Hardtop will have the Turbo's and they will be out in February The 07 Convertibles are basicly just like the 06. Few minor changes nothing major. The 07 Cabrio does not have the turn signal in the headlamp like the 07 hardtop.

Thanks for your comments

Yeah buddy! I saw that Pepper white with the JCW on the show room floor, it was a beauty but I never noticed it had 500 miles on it. Good Choice on your Hyper blue! I'm sure we'll cross paths because I look at every MC that crosses my path.

Happy motoring in your new Mini!

Congratulations on your new MINI! I'm just the teensiest bit jealous, I have a CR '07 on order, due sometime in March.

Happy Motoring!
