That's what Ward said when Beaver wanted to know what all the noise upstairs was.

I picked Sadie (my royal gray) up one month ago. I love my car and have gotten many compliments! Color changes with the light. Looks charcoal at times, peweter at other times. Good Choice!!

No wonder I never see you on the clubman side of the house.
Best of luck on your new ride.

Lots of luck,

Hey thanks Larry - man, 3 years has flown by. I did leave a note on the Chili Red thread in the Clubman section, but I guess you found me here.

Now the fun part - trying to get my Countryman to be as much as a looker as my Clubby was...

Hi less,

Just preference I guess. I work 5 minutes away from Princeton MINI but have heard not so favorable reviews from co-workers. I went to Mt. Laurel and the MA who gave me the test drive, Shawn, was a great guy. About a month later when I was ready to commit to ordering I went straight back there because of the impression I got.

What parts of Philadelphia are you from? I'm in South Philly here.

Thumbs up

Congrats PhillyCooper! Looks great! Haven't seen too many Coopers with 18" wheels.

Great choice!

Thanks guys!

I was on a budget.. I test drove an S and a Base, gave it some thought and went with a base model with a couple options.

Sport Package, Bluetooth, Panoramic Roof, Anthracite Headliner, rubber mats, wheel locks and base roof rack.

I love the color! I've always had silver, black, or white cars. Even in the dark the color sticks out like a sore thumb

I always say first impressions count.......I can't begin to tell you how many dealerships over the years I've walked out of for the same reason. I'm in the North East, when you get a sec check out Phillymini.org great group of people great runs. Congrats again and be prepared to go into long conversations at the pump about ur new steed.

If ever there were a great slogan for PO - - -

Pure Red - It's like a sore thumb in your eye!

Same color combo as mine except mine has anthracite rims with black and white pinstripes on the boot and bonnet. It is definitely eye catching.

Cool Another Surf Blue!



FINALLY got ours on 6/17 after it came into Port Hueneme on 6/8 - it seemed like forever!

Love it, but have had some issues getting Connected, the Nav, and the Satellite Radio to work - got the 1st 2 going, now waiting for our MA to start up our Satellite radio.
