F55/F56 Picked up my MINI and loving the heck out of it. Photos/Reviews inside.
The only classic I saw at my dealership (New Country) was an older MINI, with a race engine. It's in great shape. And talk about small! LOL. The dealer displays it, but it isn't for sale. I think my MA said it was an '86 MINI. Something like that. Neat little car. Next time I'm up there I'll take a few photos.

Bob - great looking F56 S. Thanks for posting all the pix. I have a better idea how mine will look now; the only differences being I did not order the bonnet stripes, and my interior trim is Black Checkered, not Cottonwood.
Enjoy putting on the miles.

Thanks Terry. Won't be long and yours will be sitting in your driveway, too. 
I have to check to see if the Sport mode has to be set each time you start the car. I'm wondering if the default mode on start-up is the middle setting. I was driving to a neighboring town tonight with my wife and the shifting/launch didn't feel as tight and crisp as I remembered. I noticed the mode was not Sport. So I changed it and BAM! What a difference. The launch was very different. Much more tight and crisp. It felt like 20hp had been added. I will now always check and make sure I'm in Sport mode now, even if the gas mileage is affected a tad.

Thanks. I also just checked the Owners Manual and confirmed that when you start the car it automatically goes into MID mode. Now that I know that, I can remember to always move it to SPORT mode.
