Christmas Present to myself

Picked it up this afternoon. It was cloudy and late in the afternoon, but for you northerners it was 68 degrees. I have a serial car habit, this is my third MINI in 3 years, and my initial impressions are all good. It had the least amount of mileage I've ever seen on a new car, only 3 miles on the odometer. For the record, it's all red, JCW body kit, red leather/cloth seats, HiFi, Xenons, Ipod/Bluetooth, Sports suspension, Premium package. Didn't really ask but they put the JCW floormats in for free, and I found a carbon fiber hoodscoop that I had asked them to throw in in the trunk.

Merry Christmas! Every time I see those brakes I just gasp in awe. With the whole red theme going on I say you name him Rudolph. Did you name your first two?
