Joep,
Viper stripes are the ones down the center of the bonnet and Sport stripes are the ones set further apart, each one between the mini emblem and headlamps.

Lady Godiva, yours is a beauty. Love the driving lamps. You are the only other owner that I have seen on the Clubman forum from NC. You will have great roads for your mini in the mountains of western NC. Hang in there....the wait is pure torture.

Thanks, Tilda! I know...these roads up here are so perfect for a MINI. From the moment I pull out of my driveway, it will be pure driving bliss!

Did you get your baby today?

I've got my baby!

Lady Godiva,
It is 1:42 am and I can't sleep because I've been staring at my new baby sitting in the garage. She is beautiful and smarter than me already. She even gives directions with a British accent. How COOL is that!!!
The ride home from the dealership last night was so much fun. She drives like a dream The mood lighting is an enchanting feature. My MA stayed late to fully orient me to the car and took her time going over all of the features. Then the family went out to dinner to celebrate.
So now that I'm up, I think I'l start reading this stack of owners manuals. Maybe it will induce sleep.
It has absolutely been worth the wait!

Clubman cooper -SS/blk, auto, premium, convenience, cold weather pkgs, tuscan tan, piano black, english oak, 16" bridespokes, park distance, xenon (amazing), F/R fogs

Congratulations Tilda!!! Now after you've finished reading all those manuals and spent the day driving - don't forget to take some photos and post 'em!! Let's see some really nice scenery, too.

Love you guys. There is something about posting a message and getting a reply.....motivates me to want to learn how to post pictures. Must grab my daughter to help with that one. There is an 80% chance of rain here today and it is dreary. When it is a sunny day, I'll take pictures.

I'm pretty sure I'll be doing the same thing! SO happy for you! Congrats!!!

Who's your MA? Mine is Dustin, and I've also dealt with Cassie. Awesome peeps over there!

Saturday and Sunday are supposed to be gorgeous up here, so hopefully you'll be able to take a few pics this weekend. In the meantime...MOTOR ON!
