Wow!!! You're picking yours up I'm very jealous. My dealer still has no word. All the computers say its awaiting delivery to the dealer. Thats all they have told me this entire week! Please post pics!! congrats!

 

Wooh hooh! Update: got a call from the MA and the car will be there tomorrow or Monday! Now just gotta hurry along my credit union so I can catch some of these last few warm days!

 

the special bonnet stripes, are sport stripes. I was happy about that. The door sills rock, and the badge is bad ***

Delivery was supposed to be 7/21 for me, it was worth the wait. My wife shot some photos while the MINI was delivered. here are a few I will put the others in the gallery. We are suppose to have rain all day tomorrow for this hurricane so I may not get more shots, but we will see.



Wow, those sidewalk seats are comfortable






And the car... everything I imagined. First drive in an S was the 90 mile trip home, and it's a JCW at that. It was raining pretty good, and it was glued to the road. Everybody should have a MINI.

 

man that is one sweet mini

 

the photo of the illuminated bulldog, where is that on the car????? please show a day light of the same shot!!! beautiful car - congrats!!!

If you are going to Ocean City and getting rain all day, what state are you in? you must be on the east coast as I.

 

That is the door sill. I will try to get better pictures tomorrow... if it stops raining. I am in Maryland.

 

I love my sidewalk, wouldn't think of ever trading my car, except for yours!!

nice title to have #96!!!!

 

here is the sill in the daylight for you... ran out and shot it for you. well, drove around in the rain a bit and took a picture at the same time.

over 45... it's dry as advertised had the kids test it out.

 

Those are some nice pictures. Love that badge!

 

cxg- thanks for the pictures, i do love that sill! very very nice!

Looks like a very happy little boy loving the convertible!!! He might need a MINI hat and sweatshirt to support the cause and back seat!!

 

Even though its not marked as a final edition MINI Cooper S Cabrio, this Ebay ad looks like one of the last MCSc R52's

 

looks like one of the ones that got out without the badges, stripes, or sills.

 

Just picked up my new MCSc! Am absolutely loving it, can't believe it's actually better than I thought it'd be! Dealer told me I have to leave the tape on the stripes for another day (no, that's not a crummy green tape job )

These are my first pics! Not the best but why waste time shooting photos when you could be driving!

 

very nice!

 

Thats too funny, I've never heard of stripes having to cure for a couple of days.



Are you sure your MINI dealer isn't just messing with you?...
And masking tape is the worst thing you could put on a Bonnet that will heat up.
Sounds to me like the guy that put your stripes on might be new to the job.
I would check around with a few professionals like Cooperflags.com or aestheticreations.net .
You do have a beautiful MINI

 

Well, they put on tons of stripes at this dealership, so I guess I thought I knew what they were doing I do have to admit you're making me nervous though... Pull them off and risk whatever their worried will happen if I do so, or leave them on and risk my hood! Well, it's cloudy here so at least the adhesive of the tape's not baking onto the car!

 

I'm not worried so much about the sun baking them on as I am of the engine heat baking it on.
I have never heard of using masking tape on a any car, if you need to use tape then the industry standard is painters tape.

 

I see what you're saying. It is painter's tape, btw. I'm planning to take it off before I leave work tonight. Thanks for the advice!

 

Is the chrome grill from the chrome lined exterior package? Also, that looks more like painters tape, rather then masking tape

 

Yes, the car has Chrome Exterior. And it is painter's tape, so I don't think that should be too bad. Will still take it off tonight though!

 

Picked up my car yesterday. Its absolutely amazing and thrilling to drive! I'll post pictures ASAP.
