finally in!

Well, I pick her up on Monday the 9th and I just can't wait! I could have taken delivery on Saturday but I am having sport stripes applied and also I am having the white piping on the lounge leather seats dyed Mellow yellow to match the colorline. I saw her last night and this will really set her apart from the other cars ( like an all yellow wasn't enough!)

Will post pics next week. I hope I can sleep this weekend!

The dyed piping sounds cool. Be sure to post some pictures and details when you get it!

I have an 05 Liquid Yellow and am a fan. When I was at the Mini Factory in May of last year, I didn't see a single Mellow Yellow on the entire assembly line. That's another reason I like them, there rare.

Yes, but the West Coast cars get to view the Panama Canal, something the other cars would kill for.

I've still got a quicktime clip of the canal's webcam showing the ship my Mini took a cruise on. Pretty sweet.

See if you can keep the extra dye in case you need to touch-up at later date.

Welcome. You picked a great car.

Are you also aware that a large Mini gathering has been planned in San Francisco right after Labor Day? It's sponsored by the Redwood Empire Mini Enthusiasts and will take place Sept. 5 through 7.

Thought I'd check in, having just bought an overall MY MCS. It wasn't my first choice of colors, but now I can't think of owning anything else. Now I'm a complete convert to Mellow Yellow. My wife fell in love with the color instantly and named the car Luigi, guess which movie that's based on?
