Congrats! Hoping I'll get mine in the next couple days, though the $750 off I'd get by attending Schomp's Not Normal event and picking up next week will offer a fair degree of consolation.

'hawtness' That is a very good description, I took some pictures yesterday as it was right next to our club area waiting to get the first drive as paperwork was being finished up.

I think SP only managed the first 100, I offered to help out with another 100.

It is a pretty Roadster, I will see if I can make an album of pictures online public.

As we took pictures around Schomp's Motor-Tober my camera kept swinging back to the R59.

PICTURES HERE

Very nice !

One thing I've learned thru 5 years of owning 2 different Chili Red MINIs is that you have to watch the amount of sunlight hitting the car in photos. In direct light, the photos will come out orange-red. In shade or not direct sunlight, the gorgeous deep, rich red comes thru.
