MINI #5 Delivery Scheduled for Thursday

Went to our monthly gathering at a local dealership and ended up trading my 05 MCS w/o LSD. I started weighing what it would cost to retrofit a Quaife (about $2,000) to my car and it was cheaper to buy a new MINI.

So the specs on my my FIFTH MINI Cooper (I suffer from automotive ADHD) is as follows:

2006 MCS CR/W
- JCW
- All packages
- LSD
- H/K
- English Leather (buh-bye LOTH)
- Anthracite headliner and trim

So now I'm debating what type of stripe I could do on it - has anyone done the new SWOOSH stripe in White and if so are there pics?

So just do it Donna.. they'll never know that you traded them in for the allure of English Leather! :-)

Actually Tate gave me a decent deal on the MCS - and it was the only one on the lot with LSD. I would've preferred either a strippo MCS w/ LSD or one with fewer options.

just wait until you let the dog in the back and he tears them all up... (the seats).

I'll be shopping for a ghetto hoopdee to cart the dog around in .. :-) and he does have his own rear seat cover that pretty much covers everything he could possibly chew on back there.
