Introducing J.E.!

Yes, he has finally arrived! I picked him up this morning! What a blast he is to drive. My son even likes him. He calls J.E. his new car!
I can see the battles starting now, and he is only 2.

I'll post more pics later...

I like the dealer's racing floor. I'm going to put racing floor tiles in my garage once my house is built, you should too!

Beautiful MINI.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Very cute little boy you've got there too

We'll both have the same "delivery" day when I pick mine up in a few hours

Welcome to the club, you are now a POOM with MOCD

Wow that's a good looking MINI! Congrats!

The pic with the little one is too cute, he's posted up like "Yeah baby this is my ride... you wanna go for a spin?"

Again congrats, and may J.E. bring you many many smiles!

Thanks everyone! I am already having a blast. It was hard returning home on the autobahn to keep him (J.E.) under 90mph. I was tryin' to be good.

Unixgal...

That is too cool... 4 Aug is a great day!

lava...

I actually took delivery in Germany through the military sales program... J.E. will get to stretch his legs out a lot on the autobahn once he is broken in.

Mike
Lil elijah is in for a fight that's for sure.My other son, Micah is just as enamoured ith the car. They are both already asking for the keys! I thought this wouldn't happen for at least another 10 years... HELP!!!

I just went outside and put a coat of spray wax on him because he got bugs on him on the way home... It has started... Hello My name is Elijah and I am ma "POOM" with MOCD

Biggripper,

First of all thank you for serving.

The people I dealt with were great! (Bavarian Motor Cars) The base prices of the cars are discounted about $2,000, and they are tax free. It makes for pretty decent savings, but even without that, my experience with them has been great.

I actually bought the car through BMWs military sales program.

Congrats on the POOMobile. Looks good. So does the kid.

Now remember, under 95 mph (153 km) and not above 4,500 RPM for 1,200 miles (1,931 km). I know it will be hard...

Congratulations, POOM mobiles for sure. Your MINI looks sharp, noticed the EU plate and immediately though Autobahn. 90, oh that must have sucked.

Nice car, great place to drive, kids look like they are going to be jumping in and out all day long.

Take some wonderful drives and drive safe. More pictures in/out and on your next few trips when you have the time.

Watch out for the MOCD and Detailing bug.
