The amazingrando has his mini...with PICS!!!

After 3 very long months of waiting, I finally have my car. I picked up my cooper s on monday from Rasmussen mini and I must say that I'm quite happy with it so far. I love driving this car!!!!!! I really like the leatherette seats, I find they provid a firm, stable, yet comfortable feel. So far the comfort access has been worth every penny, today I had my hands full and all I had to do was hit the button. The bluetooth syncs up with my Motorola L6 and so far the reception has been great. I actually don't mind talking while driving now. I'm glad I ordered the iPod adapter, it's nice that I can just leave it in the hidden compartment and not have to worry about disconnecting it. Last but not least, this car is a blast to drive! or did I already mention that. Thanks to everyone on this site for all the valuable information given to help make this car buying experience all the more better. I have decided to name my car ISOBEL. I became a Bjork fan this year, so in honor of, that is what I am naming the car.

Congrats Amazingrando!
Your MINI is a real beauty! Do you have a name picked out for it yet?
You should join the PDX MINI club too!

Nice fresh MINI, it is great your enjoying it already after the long wait.

Great pictures, you might want to check your carriage returns on each picture. It might help those who reply.

More pictures when you get it out into the Oregon countryside.

Looks good. Welcome to the Oregon owner's group.

Be careful about following Don's advice about showing the Oregon countryside. It might lead to a thousand more people moving here and then it will be 10,000.

I will find a local landfill and snap a shot, we can then tell people that most of Oregon is just one big landfill, every other state dumps their trash here, but at least it subsidises our economy.

Thanks to everyone for all the nice compliments. I just can't get over how much I love Isobel. I should take her out on a date, maybe the drive in theatre.

Why thank you! and I've been meaning to ask you, is Winston single? Isobel craves the company of another mini, of course she has me but aparently that's just not enough although I doubt the long distance relationship would work out.
