I REALLY like the dark gray with the black roof 'cause it looks masculine and aggressive, especially once you put some stripes on it. I love what this guy has done with his!

Nice! I moved to Southern Ca to do acting. If I see Charlie on the streets its a friendly race. =) Of course I have an edge because because you are still breaking in Charlie.

Picked up on 11/30 from Chris at Southbay. It was pouring that night, I was having drama in my life at the time and couldn't have Chris do the tutorial. I was driving home manually turning on the wipers, afraid of the brakes and that carazy steering. It was a crazy drive home. I love this car it is so much fun.I finally went yesterday to have Chris explain some of the stuff to me. I'm still stumped on the garage door opener.
I basically got everything except PDC(I wish I had) a sunroof (glad I didn't, I love all that anthracite), and navi. See below.

No, I like PGT's car too, but that created a bit of a problem for some reason.

Oh, i know Chris, he's such a great Rep/cool guy! So easy to talk to...he's done so much to his MINI too. Sorry to hear that you had such an adventure. Is there a garage door opener?? Sorry, what's PDC?

Park distance control. I know it's a small car but I've already had situations where it would have helped. Chris is great.He threw in one of those MINI picnic backpacks in my car when I picked up.

Actually Carlo showed me my car the day it came from the VDC before it was prepped. He is also very nice. I think these guys really enjoy what they do.
