Runningman, great car!! Would you mind posting a pic that shows the exterior color in comparison to the interior color line? I've thought about getting the same combo, but worry about the blue's not matching.

Picked up the wife's countryman lastnight. 7wks to the day. Was dark when we got home so pictures aren't very good. We held off on adding the stripes on the doors but we're going to do that soon.

I really like the red on silver. Any thoughts on adding red mirror caps & brake ducts? Well done!

Love the stripes, hdzcar! I've pictured black, but never thought of red ones before! Is the roof also silver (hard to tell given the lighting)?

Roof is black with the sunroof so not that much stripe on the roof. Already got the chrome brake ducts to install. Keeping the mirrors black. After we add the stripes on the sides the only thing we're adding is gas. I only got to drive it a short distance since this is the wife's car but I didn't notice any rough ride due to the runflats that everyone seems to hate but I'm use to driving a 350z that will beat you to death on a rough road. These really seem like well built cars.

Sure thing.

Will try to get some better pics up this weekend. The interior surf blue color line looks better than I thought. It was a last minute addition to my order, wanted to break up the all black/dark interior with the anthracite headliner.

It looks really cool with the interior blue "mood lighting" at night as well

I just looked for any latches in the rear bench seats for a baby car seat and I didn't see anything special. Only babies I've had, we adopted from the Human Society so I'm probably not the one to ask. The center seat (along with the other 2 seats) has a seat belt if that helps. It does have a roof rack that might work.

Oh, awesome! I've some great pics of the mood lighting and am really excited about it. I'm thinking about going with the dark tobacco color line but may end up getting the surf blue color line... It's all riding on your pictures!
Not really, but it'll be great to have some real time pictures to tell the difference in the surf blue's.
Thanks runningman!

Great news, Koopah! The Taiko has been delayed, and did not make port in Baltimore yesterday. The ship is expected later today, but is not in range yet. Got our first snowfall here last night, and am getting anxious for my ALL4!

Congratulations, Koopah! That's awesome! Have a blast motoring!

In other good news, looks like the Florida Highway has come and gone from Brunswick! Our guys are officially stateside!

The Taiko is still not showing up on marine traffic, and the WW site shows its ETA is the 17th, but my MA reports that my MINI is already in Baltimore!!! She is due to motor into town here on December 24th, but will be busy with her "Elf" duties until after Christmas!

Rear bench and baby car seat

Hey PUWIT321, there are latches on the back of the rear bench seats for a baby car seat. Like I said the only babies I've had have 4 legs.

What kind of seats did you get? Are these leather/cloth combo?

The Taiko just docked in Baltimore! I pulled it up, and it went from 1 knot to moored! Gotta love that marine traffic web site!

MiniMouse17, the seats are just the standard sport seats "Leatherette Carbon Black". We had planned on getting real leather until we did the test drive and thought the car we drove had leather seats until we found out different. The "Leatherette" (better known as vinyl) are stiched like leather and you really can't tell it from the real thing other than it doesn't have that leather smell. Inserts are all vinyl and no cloth. We were already over 34k list which is really kind of nuts.
