Here's some pictures of my brand new 2008 MCSCa LIB. I went to the dealership last weekend to test drive (again) a R56 but I fell in love with this car. It was someone else's special order but they didn't take possession - their loss is my gain.

This car is soooo much fun to drive!!!

I've already joined DCMM - that was one of the first things I did once I bought the car!

I got my first wave the other day - a silver hardtop in downtown Silver Spring. Since then I've seen 4 or 5 other Minis but no wave

Hi. I've been a member for a while but haven't posted. Here are a few photos of my nameless MCS Cabrio. The wheels are a recent addition (18" Sportsmax 006s).

Reservations at Fontana Village are already being taken for next years MOTD so if you
really want to go I would make those reservations now because they go really quick.
Here is a link explaining a little more about next years MOTD lodging.
The dates for next years MOTD are April 29th through May 3rd 2009.

Sounds like a plan..
We have a group that goes out for drives quite often and then there's also the
M2C2 Club that has many drives up to the BRP and surrounding areas.
The background in your picture looks familiar.. Are you off Gibb Shoals Road?
We live right across from Riverside Middle on Hammet Bridge if you know where that is..

^Thanks. I've been happy with them so far. The ride is no harsher than it was with the stock 17" wheels, which is a pleasant surprise.

Good.

Do you curse at all when you have to clean them ??

I love my 5-Star OEM wheels because they are such a breeze to wash. The S-lites and the Bridge Spokes... not so much.
