Finally Got It!!!

Picked up my MCS today from Classic. I unfortuantly had to teach till 11pm so I only have 48 miles on it, but it was a great 48 miles. Its BRG/B, with all 3 packages, Cordoba Leather, and anthracite dash and door trim. It was a little chilly tonight here in Ohio, so I got to test out the heated seats .

I start vacation next week, so I will have 9 days with nothing planned except motoring. I am a happy guy.

Very nice car =]. I am very curious to what the sign on the windshield says..(I know it's something along the lines of "please don't touch this car is sold" but I'm just feeling the need to know exactly what it says lol).

The BRG/B with the tan interior is nice, classic.

Congrats from another BRG owner!

Excellent choice in Colors!

Great minds think alike maybe?

My BRG/B with Blk Bonnet Stripes MCS is scheduled for production- to be finished April 3.

The wait is starting to really drag and it has only been a couple of weeks!

Congrats on your new MINI.

From one Ohioan to another, congratulations!

You HAVE to go to the Classic MINI summer rally! Last year, there were over 100 cars! It was so neat. We even had a police escort.

The sign said "PLEASE do not touch. I'm going home to my new owner today".

You have prompted me into my first post on NAM with your BRG/B Mini - it looks real nice!

If you get a chance, could you post more pictures of the car taken outside? This is the exact exterior color combination I am after, and the first one I have seen pics of.

I am still months away from ordering though! (Have to sort out a refi on my house first...)

By Request

I have no problem posting more pics. I'm like the proud father of a new child. Its pretty overcast here today, so the metallic in the paint doesnt show up very well.

Not yet. Was leaning a little toward Stanley, like the hammer, but nothing for sure yet.
