Hi everyone! Just wanted to share that I got an e-mail from my local dealership, Braman Motorcars (West Palm Beach, Florida) to announce that this weekend they are having a customer appreciation event/public unveiling of the Countryman! It may seem a little dorky, especially since I am not going to be buying a new car, but I am really excited about it! Friday evening (tonight) the dealership has a tailgate party and drive-in showing of The Italian Job for MINI owners only, and Saturday they have a lot party with games, food, music, and the Countryman. If you are interested, you can check out the announcement in the newsletter, which is found at

Did you go? What do think of the Countryman now? Pix?

 

I went! My 5 year old and I had a great time taking pics of all the MINIs that were there. We also won a stuffed English Bulldog and named him Coop. I know that the event was aimed at introducing the Countryman, and we saw a beautiful one in dark blue, but the JCW Clubman in black with the red roof and red pinstripe bonnet stripes totally stole the my heart and show! I will post pics in my gallery.

 

All the shots were taken from my iPhone by my son, so please excuse any accidental shots of my 5 year old's finger along the margins . . . I think there were only 2 where that happened.

 

Thanks for posting the pix wpb mini!

 

you're welcome . . have fun in your new Countryman!
