Yah So Excited!!!

Took my car in to get cosmetic upgrades done.

Got the full tint, snowboard rack, checkered mirrors, and bonnet stripes. When I saw my car I felt like I just bought the car all over again. Wanted to share with all of you folks , as this is the first time in my life that I have been enthusiastic over any car I've owned.

Sharing the pic, its attached!

Somebody beat me to it. That is Northwest Mini. I took delivery of my Coupe from those guys and my other 2 MCS's.

You can't miss the service drive and the warehouses across the street.

Congratulations on your new car. She's a beauty. Now you need to get skiing. Iffin we ever get any more snow. I'm not a skier so I like the cold dry weather. If it doesn't rain till spring I would be happy. Saves me a lot of work washing and waxing my car.

Nice ride. Grab some clay and clay that car then wax the bajebbers out of it while the getting is good.

Enjoy your ride.

Motor On!

Pat

Awhhh yeahhhh
Thank you so much. I definitely will start waxing when I have the time. I've just really busy so I only get like an hour a week to pamper my car.

Are you a Washington native? Or did you just come to the MINI dealer here to pick up the car? Do any of the Washington posters here participate in the MINI 'clubs'?

I agree. Hopefully the weather will stay mostly dry....don't want to deal with the snow

Pats correct you should get some wax on that paint after all that work they did to it.

I'm a military brat....been here 15ish years

Scuttles are super easy to swap out and S scuttles sell for under 50 usually.

I usually miss MINI events because of timing or didn't know about it. Never gone on a MINI cruise but hoping to someday.

Hmm very cool. I think I'll end up checking out a car club once I have more time. Just really busy trying to get my career spinning. Thanks for letting me know about the scuttles. I'll have to give that a shot.

There's a place in Tacoma called Griots and they have some hgh quality products. Or you can buy online and they usually have free shipping. They have free classes at their store on your own car.

Sound just like me. Been at my current job for six months and the future is looking good so far. Good luck on the career, I definitely understand that situation.
