Nope mine is going into the showroom tommorrow afternoon.

Going to be picking it up right around 9:30 am, got work to give me friday and monday off. Got me a 4 day weekend to enjoy it, and the 26th is my birthday, talk about a present.

And finally I do plan on showing up at the convertible party at MoH.

Nice pics!

How were you able to get into the "compound" and take those spy pics?
Hmmm.....you must know someone on the "inside"

Regalic, the pics don't do it justice--this is a color that's gotta be seen to be appreciated. It's just plain gorgeous!

I really loved the blue cabriolet that was hidden in the back too. Why didn't they call the color the classic Alpine Blue--that's sure what it looks like.

I still haven't seen an orange one. Guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow night.

True BEP is a color that just doesn't photo well, have yet to see a good one.

And I saw the orange cabrio yesterday afternoon looks nice, not my color but still looks nice

Well so far 140, already installed a Stubby antenna in place of the stock one and I have removed the "COOPER S" from the back. Heading out to wash it and then try and put another 100+ on it before the MoH thing tonight.

Also if anyone has seen me and waved I am sorry I havent waved back but I am still kind of wonder struck and having way to much fun driving this thing around.

Oh and for all of you calling it Purple Haze still see the pics

regalic, In Jan 03 spent a week (two weekends) to reach 1250 miles- lots of night driving with little traffic- varied speed, used all gears

Route--- H-1 to Ko'olina (quick turnaround)- Ko'olina to nimitz Hwy exit (quick turnaround)- every other time onto H 3 windward to end then back to nimitz turnaround, then back to Ko'olina- Spent better part of 2 weekends & few weekday nights driving to get mileage on quick so i could put my foot in it-

Have fun
