I can't believe you have a 2CV. I haven't seen one of those in years! Congrats- glad you got your car. Picking ours up on the 19th of Feb, if they can get the snafu fixed!

I think the 2CV has a crush on the CM.

Wow... Very nice!! First time I've seen the CosmicBlue up close.
We to got close to 15" last evening, well over 50" so far and it's only January.
Thanks again for the picture, awesome looking. Good luck with it.

Picked up my CM yesterday in Portland and drove the 3 hours back today on a clear, curvy road with amazing scenery of Mt. Hood and the Cascades. It has been years since I have owned a car that is so much fun to drive...I can stop regretting that I sold my GTI years ago now that I have found an all wheel drive go cart. Can't believe it only cost me $37 to fill up the tank. Here is a link to the album:

And another "OMG, it's a 2CV!" My dad would have loved to have one. They were a secret passion of his.
Picked up my CM tonite. All I can say is 2.5 hours of white knuckle blizzard condition driving home in new MINI IS FUN! Alright not so much! I have to say the summer 18s with all4 was impressive. I will post pics this weekend with the nikon in the sun hopefully. And connected is pretty cool.

Congrats! Good to know you did fine with the 18" tires in the snow.

Alright...pix are up in my gallery.
Washed Sully in the garage with optimum no rinse (great Product) along with microfiber mitt. Preparing for our blizzard this week...suppose to get 12-24 inches of snow on tuesday.
enjoy the pix...the car is well worth the wait. It is exponentially easier to get our kids in and out the back seats.

The cosmic does look black in those snow pictures. A nice contrast, deep too.
Hope you folks get some pavement back soon.
Our CM has been starting well in the -6 with wind chill of -25.

More over in the mods section, but this is what $20 or so of LEDS can do for your CM.

I LOVE that! How great to actually see one in the flesh. Since it's the color I ordered completely blind, with the black wheels too. Very nice indeed. Thanks for posting.
