Baby's first pictures

All,
Well we have joined the ranks of new Mini owners. Picked her up yesterday afternoon and the smile factor is GREAT! So much fun to drive. I can see where others have a hard time waiting for the breakin period to be finished.:smile:
We went for a small ride this AM. Went to look at a friends house that's being built. Also Cheryl drove it for the first time as we came back home. Her reaction was WOW, I need one of these!
Now to learn all the little things about the car. Am looking forward to finding them.
Thanks to everyone that helped make the wait bearable. For those interested we ordered 11/11, was suppose to take possession on 12/24 but weather slowed things. Received it yesterday 12/27.

smiling big time

Actually we went for a ride to a friends house that's being built. It's off Ronald Reagan HWY and you can almost see the intersection of 4 and 27 from that area.

I love the color. Had to match the car to the coat. My high school was red/white and my college was red/white so I had to have a red/white car. I also retired teaching from the school that I went to (another reason to have red/white).
My Bengals, well red is kinda close to orange.

PS Can't wait to get it broke in too see how fast she will move. Been babying her a little so far.
