picking up "Stella" tomorrow (pics)

After several revisions of our order/design and 4 months of waiting, we're off to the airport in an hour to pick up our new MINI and drive home cross-country.

Will share pics and stories from the adventure when we return but wanted to post a couple photos our MA sent the other day. Isn't she beautiful!

Thanks everyone for your feedback on options, break-in procedure and road trip advice. I have a short stack of NAM printouts from various threads as reference materials for the trip.

Best,
Miles

Nice car! Now you're the "West Coast" Stella... we already have an "East Coast" Stella here in Washington DC (owner is a DCMM member).

Enjoy your drive - I can't think of a better way to break it in. :smile:

Congrats! That's one beautiful car!

Did you purchase your car from Classic in OH?

I'll be heading out there in a couple of weeks to take delivery of a MCSC and drive it cross-country back to NW. I look forward to the trip... :smile:

Yes, we're off to Cleveland to visit Classic MINI and meet the best MA in the country (Julie, of course!).

When you see her, please give her a hug for me! Tell her it's from Dave in Portland. Have a safe and fun trip!

Looks great! I actually got to see it in person when we went to order our new MCS from Brian at Classic. Your car was the inspiration for us to change our color choice to Pepper White. Thanks!

Beautiful car. I saw the pics and said, "Hey! That's Classic MINI in Mentor!" I live about 45 minutes from the dealership. It's COLD here. Bring your sweatshirts. Although, it may warm up more by tomorrow.

Julie took a bunch of pics of Dobby, too, when he arrived. I agree that she IS the best MA there is!
