Our MINI has arrived!!!!!!!!!
This little beauty showed up last Wednesday. I took it for a little "test drive" before I took it home to the wife. I couldn't believe how torquey this lil' devil is. Fit and finish seem to be top notch as well. We are both VERY pleased with the car. The options are in my sig. Here are a couple teaser pics even though we all know what they look like 
.
I am ready to start with some minor mods. Shhh, don't tell the Mrs. Yikes!!! LOL.
Mini boot protector for our dogs<--------awesome piece
Forge BOV
ALTA boost and inlet tubes in red silicone
ALTA 4" antenna
JCW checker floor mats
Checker mirror caps
Whalen shift **** with custom engraving
17x7.5 SSR Type C RS in black (soon)
We've already got the boot protector since I ordered it from MossMini like a month ago. Everything else is on order except the wheels. This will be the extent of the mods since it's a daily driver for her. No exhaust, no lowering, no intake and no warranty voiding stuff. Hopefully we can hit the track with it by August

All comment and opinions welcome.

Thanx everyone 
. My wife named her ROXY. Chili Red for life .
I took it for a spin tonight and had a little, uh, fun. LSD works great, got the shifting down pretty good, the clutch pedal barely needs to be touched to shift. Lovin' the power down low. My car doesn't even wake up until 5K rpm
. I put it in 5th at about 30mph and let the boost carry me to 80mph. The turbo winds up pretty quick and even harder when on an incline. I tried the Sport button but didn't really notice a difference. Although I'm not exactly sure what it's suppose to do anyway. So far the car is fantastic.
We're still in the honeymoon stage
. More pics to come.
