Welcome to the camp!
What part of Taxachussets are you from?

 

I'm from Fitchburg

 

Welcome welcome! Make sure to post pics as soon as you get it.

 

ooo sounds lovely welcome :D

 

Congrats and Welcome from North Carolina.

 

What color? A hearty welcome from a fellow Checkmate owner! Best factory package available on the 2002-2006 Minis, IMHO. Of course I'm a bit biased...

 

It is Blue, I am waiting for it to be delivered. It should be here the end of next week or the week after.

 

Space Blue? You lucky dog! My favorite car and color.

Mine's Astro Black (really a very deep blue metallic).

 

im jealous of your interior! : ) i was stuck with beige hehe but i wanted blue

 

Welcome to the Space Blue Club, stop over and post some pics when you get your new toy ! Its been a while since we have had some input from a new owner

Here's my SB with another British Icon, A Camel ! No checks but she is the right color !

 

Spitfire: Are you going to paint little civic silhouettes on your fenders once you autocross the Cooper?

 

A bit off-topic, and I certainly don't race anyone, but... there is nothing... umm... more satisfying, in an adolescent sort of way, than passing an old-a$$ riced-out Civic with mismatched body panels and Indiglo gauges bolted to the inside of their A-pillar, the drivers of which are too afraid to drive any faster than they are because they've already been pulled over a thousand times before, because... they're driving an old-a$$ riced-out Civic with mismatched body panels and Indiglo gauges bolted to the inside of their A-pillar. Muahahahahahaha...!

Anyway... congrats on the new S, Shota!

 

Hey, the Monk lives? How ya doin?

dustin, which "beige" interior are you talking about, because being "stuck" with the beige leather I've seen in some Mini's is "stuck" as in "I can't get out, it's way too luscious in here".

That said, the space blue interior is what finally tipped me over into the mini.

 

The Monk lives, and so does his Coopah, mostly. Holla!

Cordoba Beige, represent! I love it, love it, love it. I've always wanted a beige interior in a black car as soon as I sat in my dad's Q45 (R.I.P.) And then, years later... as soon as I looked in the window of my (future) car on that car lot and saw all that hot beige buttah leatha, it was all over... ova I tell you! That car was mine, mine, mine... and so it was! Woohoo... cordoba beige... so luscious... can't touch it! Represent! Can I get a witness?!?
