How comfy are the seats driving that long? Really, really considering going for the 4 instead of the FWD due to all the EC snow we seem to now get every winter.

Hey Mike, are those MINI mudflaps from the Parts Dept?

Hey Don, Utah got 5 or 6 yesterday and were expecting another couple today and tomorrow.

Edit: I noticed they had 11/8 and 11/9 build dates.

I just got my Countryman All4!!!! It came early. Its to dark to get good pictures. It is White with a Black roof,rims and mirrors. What options you ask? Everything but leather sets and load floor. I'm going with a different stripe pattern again photos coming tomorrow. I will also let every one know that the Ipad does work with the mini connected system. I was able to get my Ipad 3g going.

Stripes are nicely done, look aggressive on the CM. Were these dealer installed or custom shop?

Stripes are AWESOME IMO. I don't like the regular bonnet stripes for the Countryman, but these look great with the shape of the car. Love how you do the reverse on the roof.

Stripes

Nice, Look really cool on the white black combo!!!!!!!

I agree they some how makes the back end look especially aggressive

I never have done stripes on my own mini but really like them on the cm- I will have to see what my color combo looks like in the flesh

Enjoy
