yeah, Ohio requires front plates too. I still never had them drill. In 10 years of motoring, i was only asked about it twice, and not ticketed. Now maybe they are more strict in CT.

I would love to see more pictures of your brown interior with the wood. I think I would get the same options.

Amazing

Bob,

Thank you very much for posting for gorgeous pictures! I just order a F56 Cooper S British Racing Green and this is the first time I've seen such amazing pictures with this color.

Can't wait for mine to arrive at the end of May.

Andrew

Haven't liked the looks of the F56S until I saw yours, now I'm quickly warming up. You've duplicated my preferred colors, great taste!

I ordered a Blazing Red, but I keep casting a covetous eye at your BRG.

Bob I went down today and test drove the Blue MCS, I really liked the way it drove. I saw yours across the street through the Window, the Green looks Outstanding!!! You were right that showroom is pretty cool.

I dealt with Michael today, seems like a great guy.

If I were you I would be driving over to look at it every other day or so.

Darn, I can't believe I missed you. LOL. I was there around 12:30. With my wife and granddaughter. Michael walked us over to the old showroom to see my MINI. It was really hard to leave it there, but right now it looks like I'll pick it up next Saturday at the "celebration". Assuming the oil filter housing gasket arrives by mid-week. We must have just missed each other. I saw the blue MINI you drove. Nice car. Nice color.

Yes, Michael is a great guy. Great person. Great MA. Honestly the best car salesperson I've ever had.

I am so sorry that I didn't see your post before I visited my dealer today. I would have taken a couple of interior photos for you. I did, though, examine the seat color and trim color. They are not identical, which is what I expected. The seat leather color is a darker brown. With maybe a bit more black in it. The trim is a dark brown but is a bit lighter. IMO they compliment each other. If it isn't too late, I will take a couple of photos the next time I go up. Likely Thursday. Again, so sorry for not taking photos today for you.
