Newbie from the UK with a F56 MCS

Just thought I would say Hi
Picked up my midnight black F56 MCS last week. For all of you waiting for your cars in the USA I can say you are in for a treat.



Have had R50/R53 and R56 versions previously and I am very impressed with the new car.

Congratulations on the beautiful new MINI! I love those LEDs with dark body colors. I'm wishing I lived in the UK right about now...

Thanks for the kind replies. I know you will all love the car when you get them.

Not so good being in the UK today as we are covered in sand blown from the Sahara and my lovely black car is looking horrible.

A classy looking car.

Wish I were rich and had a 3 car garage, so I could have one like yours and the red one that is "in transit."

That is an awesome photo :-) I love the telephone box next to the car. Very british. The only other thing that could have made my day would be to see your car next to the TARDIS :D

Enjoy!

Enjoy!
Sadly the old Police phone boxes are very few and far between now. Even the red boxes in the photo are slowly fading into history. Matt Smith the last Dr Who was born very close to where this photo was taken though.

I'm going to show my geekiness and admit that I'm thinking about a personalized / vanity license plate for my soon to be delivered blue F56... TIMELRD :-) Not sure I can actual press the "order" button on that one. LOL

Gorgeous MINI, and awesome photos! Black is so classy. You know, I love the license plates that you folks have. Especially on the MINI because they fit so well and actually look pretty good even on the front bumper.
