I can't believe it's actually here! I picked up my SS Sidewalk MCS last night. It is amazing. I drove it 75 miles last night. I love the paddle shifters. The car is so much more aggressive in manual.

The 9 week wait is finally over!

 

That is a beautiful MINI

 

Congrats! thank you for your pictures they help give me a real idea of the car over the pro pics.

 

congrats -- nice ride

 

BEEEEYOOOOTIFUL

 

More pics please! What a gorgeous car

 

that's such a GORGEOUS car! i love the sidewalk!

did you know it also comes in brg? did you consider that color?

 

Very nice. I thought that was a cool package since the first day I saw it on Motoringfile. Lets see some more pictures.

 

Oooooooo, Nice Ride

Yes I did consider all colors. Mini did a great job choosing the color scheme for the sidewalk. I think all the colors look great! Me and my wife are really happy with the sparkeling silver.

 

Ok Motorers,

I have put about 425 miles on the car from Thursday Evening to Saturday night (tonight). This has been a great weekend; we are having perfect 75 degree sunny weather for the whole weekend here in Princeton NJ. I'm having a real problem keeping the coop under control for the break in period. It's hard to keep the rmps under 4500, but I am being careful. I did a good deal of Highway driving at 70 - 90 MPH. I hope that's not too out of control to break the motor in properly.

Jim, that is a gorgeous MINI!! Love the color and the interior and the package that you got!! Its so beatuiful!!!!

The only thing I wish MINI had offered a different roof color for the sidewalk. Tan or beige would have been the ultimate and very posh looking!!

 

Pardon my ignorance, but what makes a sidewalk a sidewalk? I see different wheels and a color... is there anything else?

Yep - break-in miles are WONDERFUL, but also PAINFUL. You can just tell that the car wants more throttle. You just wait until you get to REALLY play - then you'll REALLY love it!

 

It is in fact a special package that has some exclusive items. Including the sweeeet seats!

 

Congrats, great color, nice seats.

 

Congrats!

A bunch of us MINIacs gather every-other Thursday at It's Nutts on Rt 29. next one should be 5/3, but things may change...

MiniMeg: Love the Hot Dog Johnny's trip!

I picked up my 07MC vert on Friday from princeton and am planning on taking her to Hot Dog Johnny's as her first "real" drive aside from all the local driving i did all weekend in this gorgeous weather :-) Too funny that I had the same place in mind!

 

Great looking MINI, and I especially love the wheels!!

 

If I fell bassackwards into a cool 35K my second MINI would be a sidewalk MCSC SS loading with JCW. I really like the seats and wheels. I would have a design shop redo the badges to "Ballpark" due to the sweet Baseball Glove Leather. Very Nice MINI, congrats!

 

I agree about the seats. They really make the car. I also discribe them as baseball glove like.
I was a bit worried about liking the wheels and keeping the matte black finish clean. I got some good wheel cleaner that dissolves the break dust. Turns out I love the wheels! The silver spokes look like their floating in air from far away.

Since becoming a Mini Motorer, My favorite road signs are the arrows that are placed every 10 feet on really hard curves. They are meant to warn you in advance when a 90+ degree turn is ahead. I drove a twisty yesterday as the sun was low in the sky to my back. The sign said 15 mph; The mini had no trouble chewing up the turn at 55 mph!
Overall I am blown away by the Sidewalk and the MCSC in general.

Are the spoke faces and wheel lip on the Night-spoke wheels machined (polished) or just painted silver?

 

SWEET!! I dig those wheels, man.

 

Polished. Really nice.
