Wheeeeeeee...my MINI is here!

Picked her up this morning from MINI of Charleston--can't recommend them enough--they were great!

She started out with 4 miles...and two hours later was rocking 120! I can sense that they will start coming on fast!

More and better pics coming soon...I forgot to bring my camera with me!

Blu, your set. Congratulations on the MINI. She looks good in the snaps. We will wait for your after first wash pictures.

Pick a good spot and enjoy the heck out of driving your MINI.

Nice, drive safe.

What's her name?

Please break the engine in slowly (keep the RPMs low).

Congrats. Enjoy, but don't forget to keep those RPMs below 4,500 for awhile.

Congratulations, Bluturtle! And I'm happy to see I wasn't the only person to take an interior picture with the dealer's protective paper mat still inside.

Beautiful...but I'm still trying to figure out why a cold package is needed in Charleston.

Yeah. I lived there and cant imagine the few situations where it gets cold enough. Although, warmth on your bum can feel really good even if its mild outside!

And another Miniac is set loose on the unsuspecting public. Congratulations on the acquisition of the most legally addicting drug you can buy!

I got it because I am always cold in the winter! Hey--I looked at it as it was a cheap option to get!

I'm in Columbia, and we do get ice every once in awhile...plus--we might get snow this year!
