Pippin Has Arrived!

Thanks to everyone on NAM for the support during the excruciatingly slow 8 weeks between ordering and delivery. :impatient

Pippin is finally here!

So I won't get a TPIWWP...here's hoping this works (my first picture posting):



We've had guests in town, so I haven't had the chance to really give him enough testing time. I've only used up on "wedge" on the gas tank! But I absolutely love driving him! What a blast!

Biggest surprise so far...you can actually fit two adults in the back seat! Four of us ran errands on Saturday and even packed the boot with four shoe boxes, a watermelon, 4 other bags of fruit from the farmer's market, a bag of clothing, and a bag of groceries! Not too bad!

Lovin' that MINI, Aquila !!!

I'd love it even more with a checkered roof, of course. But hey, even with a solid white roof, she's a L KER !!

NICE red. Red is a great color for a MINI. Noticed you got the Hi Fi option. I also have it and it's my favorite option on my car. I'm not an audiophile, but I would say I am an audio enthusiast.
Have a blast motoring.

Looks fun. Lots of spirit. Very nice.

You've got Pippin, Unixgal has Samwise, who's got Merriadoc?

Yeah, I like that checkered roof option. I've got a blank canvas at the moment, but I have a feeling that he won't be white forever!

Nowwwwwwwwww you're talking !! I get lots of comments on the checkered roof (and I hesitated to do such a drastic mod)... most of the comments are positive, too !

Actually, all have been positive.

That is one sharp looking MINI! My second-favorite color combo...congrats!

...and as you can see by the name of mine, I'm obviously pleased with our shared LOTR linkage! (I seem to remember a quick trip we once took together from Rohan to that great white city on the hill, right against the face of Mount Mindolluin, facing east towards the Pelennor Fields and Osgiliath)
