There a little icon above the box where you type your reply - has a picture of a mountain in it. Click that and it opens up a little window where you put the url of your photo image. Of course to get that you have to have your image uploaded to a server somewhere. Behold! Your account here includes an image gallery - upload your images there. Right click to copy image url, and then click the button above and paste in the url. Bingo - you're in business.

Just wanted to say thanks guys. I was able to sleep last night. 
Here are the pictures of the car. Sorry it's a little blurry(it was getting late in the evening). My digital cam is broken and had to borrow a friend's.
I've also uploaded some pics on the "test" thread and it wouldn't let me upload it here again.
Anyway, here's the link to the test thread

Yo beatmarkie,
Congrats on your new toy. You will love that little beast. It's coming up on 1 year that we have had our MCS. And all I can say is, the MCS gets the best smiles per mile of any vehicle out there. Enjoy!!
I see you are in LA. Where abouts? I am in West LA, and am always up to go carve a canyon or two...

Hey xbook,
Thx! I sure do love it. You are right about getting the best smiles per mile. I think its because I am constantly smiling when I drive it. People are probably laughing at me wondering WTF I'm smiling about.
I live in the Valley(Tarzana) and just went thru Topanga Canyon today to get to work in LA(Miracle Mile). I did notice some cops hiding behind some corners though, so be careful. We should hook up. Which canyons do you go to? Do you know of any good MINI owners club around here?
Congrats on your 1 yr anniversary!
Do I see GP floormats in there? Nice R53

Thanks guys!
Yeah, I pretty much got lucky on the GP mats. I made a deal with the MA to give me some free mats, and when I went to go pick it up, he said he only had GP mats available. Works for me. Fits the right color combo of the car too.
MINIclo,
How often do you motor thru topanga? I was just there yesterday(sunday).

I'm in Mar Vista, on the hill. I zoom all over town, and into the Valley couple times a month, too.

Your new JCW MCS is fantastic.
Excellent choice and solid. A classic look for a first generation new MINI.
How hard did they have to twist your arm to make you submit and buy it????
I'd say yours is far more unique.

I asked my MA if the asking price($35K) was negotiable, and he said no. So I just told him I'll wait for the R56 that I was planning on ordering. He then changed his mind and I was able to get the price of the JCW down to 30k.

I'd say they DID twist your arm with that offer.
