Now a 2 Mini Family

Picked up my new Countryman today. Cosmic Blue with white top and white mirror caps. Auto, premium, cold weather, and blue tooth/iPod. Only issue was my iPhone wouldn't work, so I exchanged the cable with the one from my wife's 2011 Cooper Hardtop and viola it worked. Therfeore the cable is bad and I'll go back to Bill Jacobs in Naperville tomorrow for a new cable. This is an awesome vehicle.....if you get the Mini experience....this car rocks. If you are looking for a Mini in the Naperville area or Chicagoland area, contact Rachel Luginsky at Bill Jocobs Mini, she is the best!!! She loves Minis and cares....way cares about you and your Mini experince. She's the best sales person that I have ever experienced in a purchase experience, I've managed sales teams for years and I wished I had 20 Rachel Luginskys. She rocks and so does the new Countryman. We are now a 2 Mini family....only problem is keeping my wife away from the Countryman.

Congrats on the new MINI. We are awaiting our CM and a new Cooper S so will be a 2 MINI family soon, too.
Luckily for MINI buyers, a lot of the MAs are totally into MINIs, which is why they do the job. Our MA is the same one I worked with in September '05 when I bought El Kabong. He is on his 5th MINI (which is why I don't work there LOL) and is still a complete enthusiast, which makes the buying experience a blast.
Our CM is Cosmic Blue, too, but with black roof and mirrors, such a classic color.

I agree. Congrats if this really has happened. I am a little skeptical though.
I doubt anyone is lucky enough to have 2 Mini's. I need to see some pics
to verify this incredible good fortune!

That's impressive - in about 6 weeks my signature will be very similar to yours (Rupert & Betty Boop). Congrats!

Patience young Skywalkers....hopefully both cars with be in the garage tomorrow so that I can post a picture. I just picked the car up last night at 7:00 P.M. CST. The weather here here in Chicago sucks but both Minis have been out motoring all day. I am very surprised at the overall comfort that the Countyman offers. Many of my friends saw the car this morning and were really surprised at the room inside. If you don't follow Minis this car kind of sneaks up on you. Got many looks from people on the road. Most people haven't seen the Countryman before.

Our 2 Minis are in my signature - Cosmic Blue Countryman (white top) and Sparkling Silver (black top) Hardtop. We love both of our Minis but I goofed and let my wife drive the Countryman.
