After re reading your post I realized you want to post a full sized photo in your post, that can be accomplished by using the insert a photo icon on the tool bar above the post reply box it's the yellow one.

New True Blue about to come home

So im new to the forum and former driver of a Mini Cooper Chilli S 2009. I needed an upgrade, more practicality and size and thought of a Crossover. From the tons of options that came through my mind were an Audi Q3, Nissan Juke, BMW X1 and VW Tiguan.

I'm very excited to announce that my next car will be a True Blue MINI Cooper S Hot Chilli Countryman All4 that has just arrived from Europe. It's just a matter of waiting a couple of days. I packed it with everything I could so I could really feel an upgrade. Do you guys think I will miss my last car: MINI Cooper S (2009)?

I about to drive to the dealership to sign all the paper work. I will update with news about my new baby. Any recommendations of things I should ask I about the car?

So how do you go about joining the True Blue Owners Club?

My wife just got a True Blue CM last week.

I just got a MCSC two weeks before that. :-) (however it is Chili Red)

I like the whole thing but intrigued by side markers. How did you black them out?

Hello all!
I ordered my first mini a few weeks ago.
It's a true blue 13 Mini CMS with white roof, mirrors, boot & bonnet stripes, and white wheels.
Ordered on 3/30/13
Production finished on 4/12/13 (also my birthday)
And on the train headed to port today.

Well, I headed out to the dealer yesterday thinking I was going to order the blazing red. Saw it in person, liked it much better than the pure red, but still felt something was missing--I wasn't excited. So I thought ok, I will go the black on black route. Then, we walked passed the used lot and there it was! I finally saw a TB with a white roof in the used lot (my dealer is apparently white roof challenged in their ordering because 3 new TB's all had black roof). I lost my mind. Walked out with my order for a S ALL4 True Blue w/White roof, Manual, 18" silver turbo fans, blacked out housing, anthracite headliner, Polar Beige Leather with dark tobacco color line. Apparently my mind was still swooning while I was ordering features because the original simple build went way out the window. I went outside of my comfort zone on the color scheme both inside and out. But I couldn't help but grin like a silly kid in love when I saw the True Blue in person. Hopefully she will make me smile each time I get behind the wheel to help ease the pain of the car payments. This will be our 4th MINI, but 1st custom order.

We are finalizing the build specs later this week. I'm already making a mods list and driving the gf and all my friends crazy. It's going to be long 8-9 weeks.

Nice... problem is now that I see that I'm thinking I made a bad choice going with the white roof an stripes instead of black.
