New MINI next month!

Hello all!
I live in Hockenheim Germany (Us Air Force) and I am getting a MCS that should be delivered next month.
I am keeping it simple and just getting the
Chili Red
Checkerboard Cloth
Red interior trim
Winter Package
Xenon

It is for my wife's birthday and she is British, so I am getting the Union Jack flag on the top, the Jack rear view mirror and the Union Jack "S" vents on the sides. I though about getting the side mirrors and the door handles, but it just seemed like too much.
Anyway, she has been driving around a huge Volvo S70 for the last 4 years and it is far to big for her. I think this will be perfect. We took it out for a test drive and she really liked it a lot...the handling is fantastic! It will be good for me too...I drive a BMW 335i Coupe, and getting into the Volvo feels like taking valium. Driving the MCS will be a lot of fun!
cheers everyone,
Greg

Congrats ukthunderace!

What a thoughtful gift! Your wife will be very happy with her new MCS!

I'm sure that she will let you borrow it from time to time.

Lucky you, I can hear the siren song of the autobahn calling out your MCS.

Oh, btw, don't forget to post some pics of your new baby!

Enjoy & Motor On!

I took the test drive car on the autobahn...it was good fun! My wife is a bit more of a conservative driver than I am. I have my BMW for my sporty fast driving, but the more I look at Minis with mods, the more I think about trading in my BMW for a Mini of my own!
