Some pictures from this evening. :smile: These were taken on or near Deer Creek Canyon, which is South of Denver. The sunset was amazing tonight.

now, we haven't had much snow at all this year. Last year was a drought year and this year is shapping up to be worse. Summer is going to be crispy.

Dave, nice pics. I frequent this road on my motorcycle in the summertime. My DS/DS MCS is arriving at Schomp tomorrow. So, now I can frequent in the winter too. Unrelated question: how long did it from when Schomp received your car to when you received your car?

OwenO: I didn't buy my MINI from Schomp. I flew out to NYC and bought it from Lori Abrams (miniqueen on MCO) at Westchester MINI.

That said, it's my understanding the PDI (pre delivery inspection) is running a few days at schomp.

That's the impression I got from them. I couldn't resist going down on Saturday to see if my car was there. (It wasn't) I was hoping that I'd take delivery this week.... we'll see..

The new cars are received at a seperate lot, so your MINI may not appear at the dealership until the day you take delivery.

Nice pics, that sunset looks like it should be on a magazine cover.

You don't know the address do you?

No, unfortunately I don't. The other place they use to stash MINIs before delivery was over on the east side between Honda Sales and Honda Service.

Beautiful sunset and MINI but there will be hell to pay next summer: That scene should be covered in snow. Ugh, the drought.

Great Pics Dave. I have yet to get myself and Priscilla out there to run Deer Creek although that is where I went on my test drive.
OwenO mine showed up in front of the showroom and was still there several days latter when I went in to tell them my dealer accessories. Once they had those it took them ~3 days to have the car ready (I think it varies on what you are having installed, I had the roof done and I believe they send that out)

Wow. Schomp has changed their test drive policy a little. Back in April when I test drove the Cooper and the S for the first time, we drove a rectangular route on surface streets around the dealership. I'm glad to hear you got a chance to have some fun on your test drive.
