my MINI is Home!!!!

friday 8.3.07 i picked up my MINI and i love it, now i wonder why it took me a year to finally buy one and the window tint is 20%.

here is some pictures of it:





Forgot to take a picture when it only had 1 mile on it, by the time i remembered they already drove off to put gas in it.




at the alabama welcome center

Congratulations soul embrace. The MINI is sharp. Nice setting to take some pictures, I'm not a tint fan, but I may have to consider it after seeing your pictures.

Enjoy the MINI, safe motoring. You will find the MS mode on the tranny a delight. I almost never put mine in sport mode.

thanks everyone. when i first started thinking of what to order i was all set on getting it with the body color roof. my MA told me if i didn't want the sunroof to stick out to get the black roof. i'm glad now that i went with his advice, i love the look of the blue body and the tinted windows with the black mirrors and top.

How gorgeous I love that 20% tint in combination with the LB. My Atomic Blue Metallic Civic coupe is going in for a tint job Monday, and I'm torn between 20% and 35%. Your photo cleanly shows that 20% REALLY sets off the blue.

Happy trails down in 'Bama Lovely state you have.
