Nice pics, the interior is as nice as the exterior. Excellent option choices.

can I interest you in a tripod? ...looks like you are taking SMUDGE into your photography. Seriously, classically elegant MINI...

I am keeping my experimentation with the auto trans down to a minimum at the moment. Way too easy to go over 4500 rpm. Appears to be better/quicker to respond than in the 05-06 auto S I test drove.

Nope. The wood trim doesn't include the steering wheel.

Your sig says "B Roof & Stripes". I don't see any stripes. Better take another look if you paid for stripes. That's a nice car BTW!

They didn't forget... they gave you "the Emperor's New Stripes." Aren't they beautiful?

p.s. please post more photos of your great-looking car once you've swapped out the Emperor's stripes for the more mundane stripes everyone else has.
