A new addition to the family!!

I was planning on ordering a Mini from the factory but, when I went to my local dealer, they had a nice selection and were willing to deal so... I pulled the trigger and brought my new MCS home on Tuesday!

She is an MCS DS/White roof, Carbon Lounge Leather, LSD, Sport Suspension, Prem, Cold, Sport, BT, 6 spd.

I just could not wait 6 weeks, and with a slight compromise on color, I'm motoring!

These cars are awsome. Never thought doing errands could be this much fun. I'm still learning all the settings and have more manuals to read but so far this is the most fun car to drive I have ever had.

I'm trying hard not to exceed 4500 rpm but its hard And don't even get me started about the "sport" button.

Anyway, I'm glad I made the move and I look forward to being part of the Mini community and many years of motoring!!!

Nice car. You're working the grey theme inside and out I see. Very different colors from mine. I'm doing the beige thing. Nothing wrong with that!
