We gave our MINI its first bath on Sunday and the dogs helped.





Additional early impressions. This car Rocks!!! Love the haunted windshield wipers. We have the optional rain sensor wipers and in the intermittent showers the other day it anticipated every need for wiper speed change.

And silly: No we haven't turned on the wipers while trying to start the car as others have admitted doing, but I have noticed that my pant leg gets caught in the seat height adjuster when I'm getting out of the car.

Anyone else?

MOTOR ON!

Congrats on your choice of color. Looks like you have the exact same car as me! Except for the black stripes.

I got #1, #3, PDC, Xenon, and the wiper functionality too. Really cool. I wish they had done it for the rear also. But, the car does ROCK!

I washed mine this weekend also. I received the car on Tuesday, rained on Wednesday and washed on Friday. I should be a busy spring for me this year. It rains a lot in spring in the Ohio valley (Louisville).

Again, congrats on the car and pics, we are in the same boat!

Car's lookin' pretty good there Captn. Keep up the good wash job. Gotta love that Indi Blue. Almost makes me wish I would have waited the extra 6 months until that color was available, at the time. But the 3 months I waited for my car was bad enough. But I'm still loving my choice of double Dark Silver. Congrads on the purchase of one hellofa car.
Cheers,
