It's finally here!!!!

Last night i picked up my brand new 2007 MCS. It was a long wait, at least it felt that way, but it was worth it. I cannot wait until its broken in so i can really open her up. The car feels like it has a lot of power in that little motor and it handles great.

Congrats! They are perky lil rockets! Cool thing is when you hit 80, for a small car, you can't really feel it. My previous V6 felt like she was coming unglued at 80+.

You know what happens if you do not post pics of your Mini? It will DISSOLVE!!!

You'll get in one day and turn around to back it out of hte driveway and find yourself sitting in the middle of the driveway surrounded by your neighbors all pointing and laughing at you!! Dunt(tm) be another victim of Mini dissolution! POST PICS!

WOW, it did not dissolve, great pictures. I could not see the dirt but I did not look hard. Have you been to the D101 thread? They will let you know how to get rid of those pesky water spots from the rain.

Nice looking MINI.
