Well then, I guess our Minis may never meet in person!

http://s1099.photobucket.com/albums/g388/soocy/ Here is my new baby! No name yet, hard to decide. Please disregard the photo of my grandkids, don't know how to delete it from photobucket.
Woops! Sorry this is here twice! It's late and I don't know what I am doing, time to sleep!

Excellent choice, I'd say!

Introducing the latest member of the Light Coffee Owners Club...


I'm still stuck on trying to find a name, though...

There's are a number of obvious Coopers that have been suggested by my own virtual peanut gallery.

Shelly / Sheldon - for all of the Big Bang Theory fans out there. There is certainly enough technology in the car to make a suitable tie-in.
Winnie - from the Wonder Years.
Missy - the girl who sat behind me in first grade and ate paste.

and plays on the MINI name...
Maximus Decimus Meridius (Max, for short) - Gladiator
Verne - first name of the actor who played MiniMe

I'm sure something will come to me soon enough...

I'm still stuck with naming mine too. I can't get off of names associated with the color, which is kind of silly. Maybe I should consider things I like instead! Then "Mochi" comes to mind because I am hooked on frozen yogurt with those little Japanese marshmallows that are called mochi. Or I could call her "MIss Daisy" after my favorite movie "Driving Miss Daisy". Any other thoughts are welcome!

As you can see, she finally has a name and it fits her perfectly as I am "Driving Miss Daisy"

Looking to Join this "Coffee Club"

Went with my wife to the dealer yesterday and after looking at all the specs of available Light Coffee/Black Countrymen (there aren't many with a bench rear seat) on the east coast, she placed an order

In about 6 -8 weeks we will be eligible for membership and a 2 MINI family!

Jimbo,

Way to go. Light Coffee with black roof and mirrors. This was our choice and we don't regret it one bit. Have fun with the wait, more like 10 weeks.

I wanted to post pics of my baby, but it said that I had already posted the pics in another thread. That is just silly that you can't post same pics in more than one thread.

Here is the post of the pics.. hopefully it will let me do this.

I hope you post pics after your tint, also. I have been trying to figure out if I am going to get the tint. I have a white top so it may not look exactly like mine would, but it would be nice to see a light coffee with tinted windows, regardless.

wondering if any of you also have the coffee colored lounge interior? And if so, any pics? Light Coffee was the color I planned on getting my Countryman in (before getting my clubby), and I wonder how that interior looks. (Already planning for my next car!)

Try this members gallery link. It is a Light Coffee/White ALL4 with what appears to be tinted windows,

I seem to have lost a comment.. so here goes; hope I don't post twice

Thanks for the link.

The tint in the pics is nice but not a whole lot different than what I have. Not sure it is worth it unless it helps a lot with sun glare. Let me know what you think on that aspect after you get yours.

Here is a link to pics of my CM. You can see my windows already appear darker than a normal window, IMO anyway.
