My MCS is finally home.

Its sitting in the garage and I keep going out to look at it. Sparkling Silver is the most under rated color but when you see it in person. Wow. I am so tired but thats another interesting story. I will do a full report and impression soon. Here's a tease for the folks that are waiting. Your going to love it and blown away. For those that have already taken delivery, you already know.

I have the sparkling silver also and I LOVE IT! All of my friends thought that it was a crappy color when they saw the pics but when the car arrived and they saw it in person. Everyone agreed that it was nice

Thanks for the teaser! First impressions are very powerful...they are matters of the heart!! Besides one has to recover from the shock of having your long-awaited baby in your very own garage!!!

Congrats!

I wasn't impressed with the pictures of SS, but now that I've seen it in person, I agree. It's a great color!

Agree that SS is a beauty. The first '07 I saw in person was SS and it was gorgeous.

Brand Spankin New MCS Convertible "Silver"

I too have just recieved my brand spankin new MCS Convertible silver w/black top . I was called by the dealership while I was out of town rafting on the Natahala River (aka: home of MOTD). I got home and got out of my smelly river clothes and went directly to pick up the new addition to the family. Now here I sit at work watching the clock waiting to take it for a real drive after work. I took my first work break at 7:30am and went for a quick spin around town.

Does anyone know where I can find a good listing of MINI events around the Southeast?

TIA

SS was the color I was going to order originally, until I saw the NFR color chip in the box at the dealership. But, without visual reference of your particular implementation of SS, it is difficult to express myself in an overt manner.

WHAR'S THE PIX?!?!

I have posted some pictures to my gallery, but I have lost my upload capability to the internet so I don't currently have access to my website for linking images.
Does this site have the capability to show images within this thread?
Here is the link to my gallery:

Congrats amazonracer, it's been a long time coming, eh? Now, please 'splain why it's sitting in the garage and you're not out motoring?

Lopez, lovely ragtop! Hope you get lots of fine weather!

I have to figure out how to implement pictures. The other problem in regards to the "interesting" story is that my son's camera (mine) was stolen in Paris as he just got back from a high school Europe trip. Pictures soon, sorry.

Sorry to hear about the camera, not an excuse ... Just a trip with your MINI, and then you can take pictures for the eagar folks here at NAM.

Congrats to you and dlopez8a on your new MINIs.

Your car doesn't exist until you post pics.

amazon is the OP, and dlopez hijacks the thread and posts the pix. Could be an alltime first for a new Mini thread.
