Hey Lonnie,

What rack is that? I'm going to get the countryman connection hitch and was looking at the two bike tray from Thule. I haven't seen a three bike rack and that would be perfect.

Thanks Bentyyc. It was really cool having the guages on a long run with the mini club. If you have the ipad, its less than $200. One of the other members countryman was in the shop so he rode woth me and we got to play with a lot of the settings. Going to use the track gps in the app next weekend when Geoffrey goes to his first AUTOCROSS. I'm so excited!

It's a Saris Thelma 3, was the only 2+ bike wheel-tray hitch-rack I could find that would fit a 1.25" receiver. Works well and isn't too expensive. You do have to watch the road dips when it's fully loaded - it can sway quite a bit fore and aft if going fast over dips or off-road.

Mr T is finally mine today! He's perfect in every way. Just need to have the stripes installed (in 2 weeks).

It certainly is sitting low in the rear. (but not nearly as bad as when I had 3 bikes strapped & hanging on the back on my JCW coupe, and roof cargo box loaded solid, & 4 people in the car! )

I just picked mine up on Sat and love it! I also got the polar beige leather interior and its a really nice accent otherwise everything is anthracite on mine!

Don't have any interior photos yet, but may try to take some to post if you are interested!

The problem with this thread is that with every new photo - I decide that I need that countryman too. There are no bad options with colors etc. as far as I'm concerned.

For those that have added photos - I'd love to see interior shots too when you have the time!

Thank you mojito and Rktcyntst. Personally I love all of the interior options mini has - it was as much a draw for us as it's outer uniqueness.

Great shot of the ambient lighting too. I don't hear this talked about much. Is it as fun as it looks?

It's the obnoxious cell phone power adaptor for my phone. I ran the wire to hide it from sight to the car dock on the lower left of the windshield. It's bright all right, but I've gotten used to it. Does what I need it to!
