Finally got him home and out for a spin. Nice...
Thanks to all for the support while my Mellow Yellow Flying Squirrel went through her prolonged and painful death. And a big thanks to Global Imports and MINI for painlessly swapping me into this (better) car. The Serius-4-life and HD rock.

Arthur on Wolfpen Gap Road yesterday:

 

Guinevere should be pleased !

 

NICE!!!!

King of the who?

Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Cue Roger Miller "King of the Road".

 

" It is all true , or it ought to be ; and more and better besides . " Winston Churchill

 

Very nice! The Green Knight salutes you.

 

Gotta luv the BRG!!!! Seems to be a wave of BRG's hitting the road. Needless to say....very nice.

 

Congrats and best of luck with Arthur!

 

Thanks, all.
I'm getting more positive comments in this car than in the MY-R56 or CR-R53. A different demographic is coming up to me in parking lots and asking questions... ...a more affluent demographic.

I'm going to start a thread on fuel economy though.
