Picked her up last night

After an agonizing 8 weeks the wait is finally over.

She is sick!!! I have never been so excited about a car in my life. The installed the JCW 18's before I picked it up. They look amazing. I know it is bad form to talk about a new ride without pics but it was rining last night an i want to post clean, water free pics for you all to enjoy.

The GM a Mini said this is the nicest Mini tey have ever taken an order for. Could have been giving me lip servie but it was already mine so no need to do so.

I am so excited!!! Can you tell?

OK. I took some pics. I have no ability to reduce them in size. How do I post them? Anyone want to post them and I can email the pics to you? The pics are a little over 1MB each and I have three.

Will do interior pics soon.

Start a post and click on the little picture icon in the toolbar. Then enter the URL address for the photo. You can find that by clicking on "properties" on the photo in your gallery.

I like this one.
