My Car is here!

So I picked up my 09 Mini Cooper last Friday and I've had a grin on my face since then. The car runs so smooth and is great on gas mileage!

The day we got it I went to Miami to see the Hurricanes vs. Knights football game (go Canes!). The trip was awesome and so was the MINI.

The car now has 800 miles on it and has been washed twice

Here are some pictures of the car on my web gallery. I think the Miami trip has picture on the server too.

Congrats Mike, the pics of your Mini and the family are great! That's great that you were able to knock off some of those break in miles already!

I picked mine up on Tues and haven't had a chance to really enjoy him yet but the ride to and from work has been great. Looking forward to taking him out this weekend and having BIG fun!

I have a couple of pic's in my gallery, too. Enjoy!

Congrats

Nice looking mini. All your mini dates are within just a day or two of all mine. I picked mine up this past Sat, but don't have all those miles (yet). After about 1/3 tanks of gas, I'm showing 30mpg, which I think is great since I do about 1/3 of my driving around town, stopping and going. My mini runs awesome also, with lots of power, although I have been trying to stay under 4000rpm. Most of the complaints that I've been reading about don't seem founded (now that I have one to see for myself). Cheap door handles (what?), mats that get under the pedal (???), bluetooth not working right... this car rocks!
