Introducing...

Picked it up at 8:45 p.m. last night from East Bay Mini..

The wait was well worth the end result

More pictures when the sun comes out later.

Still grinning like a fool.

Wife and I are members of Norcal Minis :D (she has a BRG/GRN Cooper Cabrio). But yes.. now we have the dilemma of which Mini to drive.. darn.. what a problem to have.

Well it was a brief introduction and stay at home for "Friday" the PH/B MCS. Friday is back at the dealer already with the dreaded "Squeal of Much Embarassment" to be looked at hopefully early tomorrow.

Thanks for all the kind words of congratulations

I'm sure the dealer will get the squeal sorted out soon enough, and in the interim not only are we a 2 MINI family.. but due to the loaner.. we're a 2 cabrio family

Oh MY GOD What a car! I think I'm in love. But my problem is I need a haroom (sic) of MINIS. I love them all. The black roof and the new silver roof are dy..no...mite.

What's the problem ?? Man, wife, two MINIs, no problem. My math brings that to one driver for each MINI

Here in southern CA a lot of people each drive their own MINI - it's more fun that way.

Purple and black, sound like a bruise, and yet looks so fetching.
Fantastic!
Hope it is back in your hands and roaring soon.
