Just picked up on July 29, and having so much fun. We are out driving all the time. My kids are feeling very neglected, I don't even cook dinners anymore! We have given up tv, reading, eating and only check in on Mini matters with the computers!

1st step was the tint(Houston..... it is a must-have item)
2nd step : 18" ROH Adrenalins ready, but waiting for small diameter lug bolts.
3rd: small stuff like black out grill, clear side markers, shorty antenna, etc etc etc...

by the way, I am really glad i went with the Gotham Grey interior, it is a lot lighter than i expected. it is a really nice contrast to the black color line. i'll post a pic later.

I love the Cooper Clubman in this Pure Silver/Black combination - great choice! Very classic looking to me.

And, by the way, welcome to the Clubman fold, too.

I've been browsing and not particularly reading the posts too closely, but what's the cars name? If female, the stripes seem to slightly remind me of a specific, very small piece of female undergarment

How much did the striping cost? I'm in NY, so it's not like I can go to TX and get it done, but I am curious.

My thoughts exactly!!!! I'm hoping I can scoot up there Columbus Day weekend . I was up in Asheville for a day a couple of weeks ago (unfortunately in the company car, not Galileo), and that plus your GORGEOUS shots has me convinced that I absolutely MUST make an Autumn trip up there this year - NO EXCUSES!!!
