Got mine last October and was told I was one of the first Checkmates on the "big" island as well--Long Island.

Sorry to see the "horseshoes" go, but those wheels are great.

that's awesome...welcome. They are awesome little cars that's for sure. After coming back from MOTD, I've been craving some curvy roads to drive and nothing compares. Well congratulations on the new MCS.

Looks like it's time for a "Space Blue Owners Club" and/or a "Checkmate Owners Club" signature graphic.

How did the other colors have theirs done?

absolutely cool

...but where are they all?


Pac NW for one...

I started with a spec of BRG but had a long wait time...

I changed to SB w/the cool new silver bonnet stripes and i'm so glad i did!

It's a subtle color... anyone notice how it's a little purple when the sun hits it just right?

My Space Blue/silver MCS (no bonnet stripes, no checkmate) is currently on a boat steaming toward NY. I'm pretty excited about it. I would not have gotten Space Blue based on the color rendering on MINIUSA. I had resigned myself to Hyper Blue and white, but when I went into the dealership, they had the color templates, and I was like "holy crap, that's what Space Blue looks like? I'm HAVE TO get that!"

Rossii, that's a beautiful picture of the full Space Blue with no stripes...Now thinking that might have been the way to go rather than the silver roof/mirrors. Nice choice! Please make that picture available in your gallery...when I was searching for Space Blue photos that were not Checkmate and didn't have bonnet stripes, it was really hard to find them. It'd be useful for others thinking about or looking at Space Blue to have a look at that shot to help them decide on roof/mirror color choices...

CeridianMini, another nice shot of a SB/SB MINI! Please post photos!!!

Another Space Boy, I mean Space Blue here, Silver roof, silver 'U' bonnet stripe, chrome exterior and interior. Should hit the canal this weekend, then on up to Port Hueneme by the end of the month, and hopefully just a couple more weeks to reach Denver! Hadn't seen the color in person before I ordered it, now I'm even happier with it! Definitely up for a Space Cases club

Ok, finally pushed some of the Zaino pics through to the gallery. It was evening so I didn't get any good pics of the sun playing off the color though, maybe afdter the next Zaino day. I also still need to get a good pic of the illuminated S door sill...

I did the same thing. On the website, it looks like a green color almost. But I went into the dealership and test drove a Space blue MCS. Once i saw it, I had to have it!!

So it's on order. just gotta wait.....
