R56 Photoshoot

Hi-res photos HERE

I picked it up on July 3rd after 2 months of waiting. It was a long wait, but way worth it. They didn't have one on the floor that satisfied me so I went ahead and ordered one. Its a pretty basic S, I didn't get any packages but I did order a few ad-ons. I got the 6 speed transmission, Hi-Fi sound system, rear fogs, metallic paint, armrest, Multi function leather steering wheel and a few other little things. This car is by far the most exciting car ive had yet. It handles like a dream and has exceptional pickup. Turn the sport button on, and you have a biiiiiig smile on your face. Enough with the jibber jabber though, heres the photos!

Congratulations!!! You got the same color baby as mine. It looks georgeous. I picked up my baby on 6/21/2008 and have gotten tremendous amount of compliments on my baby. You will see. Over the 4th weekend, I washed my baby and waxed it. Wow... it look much prettier. Happy Motoring!!!

Great pics! Now that my MINI is in the queue for production this week, I fell asleep last night trying to think of the most scenic spot to take him for his first photoshoot!

Doctor, I have a fever, and the only cure is MORE MINI!

If your car was a phone call, I definitely get up from my toilet seat and answer your ring... Looks as though someone saved enough money to do some really modding now... There's a lot of potential in that color combo!
