Its time to say goodbye.........

to my 2005 MCS.........and hello to the 2006 . A few weeks a ago I was talking to my friends boss who drives a 911 and is a car nut himself after a few minutes of questions I tossed him the keys and let him drive my MCS......about 20 minutes later he comes back and tells me he wants to buy my car........I gave him a number and he agreed

This is going to be my 3rd MCS since both the 03 and 05 were identical I decided to go with something different. So I ordered a SB/SB/Premium/Sport/English Leather/Anthracite dash,headliner/Rear fog/HK which is in 112 status........so the adventure begins all over again. So quick question........any one have pix of a blue car w/black rims???

I've seen it several times, I always thought Mini could do something special with the interior......saw and wanted it. Now I have to wait..........

My parents have a 996 Targa that I drive when the MINI is in for service, etc. I would take the MINI over the 911 any day of the week. It's not that surprising; the MINI is a way more fun car.

You must have given him a very nice number if your getting the English leather. That stuff is expensive but very, very nice looking. I sat in one with the English leather and it felt great.

Congrats.

Getting back to your original question, I'd like to see a pic of SB with some black wheels too. I'm thinking about something with a polished rim and black center after seeing the amount of brake dust generated, maybe some Koenig Holes or similar. Having a silver roof makes me think it's not going to look that great.

While you're waiting for the break-in period to be over, why don't you use my MINI and see if you can sell it?
