I havent joined yet. Still trying figure it out :-)

I was thinking about that Wendy. The St Patricks day run right? Im not fully broken in yet but I dont think that should matter. Would be great to meet some MINI owners and check out some great driving roads. I will let you all know in a day or so.

Excellent !! Always nice to have another CR Cooper with us. Even if it does have a "S" Wannabe stripe on the bonnet.

Looking forward to meeting you AND Stewie !!

That's part of the uniquiness that makes MINIs so much fun to own and to modify. There's tons of combinations possible. Yes, even borrowing bonnet stripes usually seen on an "S".

Nothing at all wrong with that, Cyndi... just having some fun with you. Glad to see you know how to handle it.

Yes MINI's are fun. I dont see too many of the U stripes around. They look good on STEWIE. I didnt pick them out, he just came to me that way . He has that rare silver top as well. I asked my MA where he came from and why he was just sitting around. He didnt know. Just waiting for me I guess

Outta curiosity, did you buy from Tate? I seem to remember a MINI configured such as yours sitting in the lot waiting to be adopted.

In any case, welcome!

I was gonna ask the same thing! I remember looking at a nice solor red one there! I hope to see you out on the road. Join us on Saturday! We would love to have you and your new baby out on the road with us, not too many Solor Reds out there! Love that color...
There will be lots of stuff to do coming up in the next months, and hope to see you there!

Nope. Got it at MoS. Production date is Oct 06. Im thinking maybe MINI just produced some random cars near the end. I really like the Chili Red with Silver. I am feeling a little insecure with my "S" stripe though STEWIE is the perfect name!!! Do you watch "Family Guy"?

Welcome to the club!

Looking at the picture and the color combo Stewie does indeed look like he's SR, but they stopped making Coopers in SR around April 06.

Awesome another red with silver roof!!!
He is indeed Chili Red. He has a little sticker inside the engine compartment and a vin that confirms it. It may just be the quality of the photo I used. I will get some better ones up soon.

P.S. STEWIE is starting to feel very rare and special
