My wife and I picked our MCS up from Roadshow MINI on Saturday. Dorian was very helpful and prepared; we got there at 9am and were motoring by 10am. We took a scenic road through Memphis and then drove back to St. Louis. We put about 600 miles on it from Saturday to Monday. It is everything I had hoped for and more! It is simply the best automobile I have ever owned!

Here are some pics of my MINI and my dad's original Mini together...talk about cool!







Glad to finally have her! BTW, this forum has helped so much with the buying process and will help greatly with sharing our experiences with the MINI. Glad to be on board!

Aaron

Thanks. I will enjoy it for everyone! I wish the house was mine, but it's my dad's. That's my next big project to work towards, getting a house instead of renting.

Great pics! Love the "nose to nose" one, really gives you a perspective on how much bigger the new ones are! Congrats and happy motoring!

Cool, Redbird73!!! I picked up my MINI from Roadshow on Saturday, too. Guess they have a lot of out-of-town customers :smile: Mine was the yellow and black S w/the 17" wheels...man, I'm getting so excited talking about her now, I think I'm going to go to a grocery store and get some stuff I don't need...bye, everyone!

Great, great pics, Redbird73! Thanks for sharing them. Your dad must be tickled that you got a MINI, too! What does he think of the new one? I love the comparo shots, especially nose-to-nose...that is a classic!

Cheers!

My Dad loves my new MINI, and is now considering getting one for my mom to replace her aging 1989 Bonneville. I took her for a ride in the car and she loved it! She is 4'10" so a MINI is the perfect size for her.

My dad is going to bring his MINI up to St. Louis for our MINI drive in October. It will be so cool to have new and old Mini's driving together!

The nose-to-nose is my favorite shot too...it is my windows desktop right now.

My dad just turned 80 still going strong can't wait to get him in my mini!:D

I agree the nose to nose pic is classic!
Thanks

Roadshow MINI in TN is the BEST! Dorian was my motoring advisor as well. She was so nice and friendly. Curious what she looks like. Would like to put a face to the voice.

Did my whole purchase over the phone from Oregon. My DS/B S is on a car carrier being shipped to my door as we speak. Last I heard I was looking at wednesday the 11th.

So what does friendly Dorian look like? Thanks!

About 5'6", brown hair, very cute! Ask her to send you a picture of her and the dealership, they sent me one from a digital camera...
