Just wanted to say hey. I just purchased an 'experienced' Mini. It's chili red with the white roof. (with the American flag decal that's coming off as soon as I get it home!) I'll be flying out to the D.C. area next week and driving home to the Nashville, TN area. So Hi!

You are going to love that Chili Red and White MINI!
Don't decide about the flag decal until you've had the car a couple weeks. You may find you love it! Try it before you remove it!

OH, and welcome to NA Motoring family !

mojogator,
Aloha and welcome to NAM,
Please do look around and check out all the topic areas, even stuff from the past is pretty good.
Let us know how we can help you if some question comes up and have a safe trip.
Good to hear from you.
Did you know that chili Red is the fastest color! It also attracts tickets so be careful.

Congrats and welcome aboard. I agree with Pebbles. Don't be so quick to say you want to remove the flag. Live with it a bit. They're not cheap to replace if you decide you want it later on.

Enjoy and good luck with it!

Welcome to the ranks of MINI Insanity, Mojogator!!! If I may say, the CR/W color combo is the way to go (but I'm biased...lol)!!! If you decide you don't like the American flag, replace it with the good ol' Union Jack! I love mine!!!
