I added another picture of my New baby in the gallery. This one was taken from my balcony above in my apartment. It's a nice picture if I must say so myself. They are all great!

Are you gonna return it once the hood scoop starts to melt?


Good luck with your 09,

Dave

It's really a great car, Dave. I hope I have no issues with it.
I am hoping that the hot Florida sun won't melt my Mini away.
Thanks for checking out my new baby.
She is one pretty gal with a great body!

Dan as soon as you mentioned the Florida sun I saw that you are located in Coral Springs,FL.Which dealership did you work with Vista MINI in Coconut Creek or Lauderdale MINI in Ft. Lauderdale or did you travel far north to Braman MINI in Palm Beach or far south in Miami to Braman MINI?

My dealership is Vista MINI.

Jim, I don't work for Vista Mini, although I would like to. Jobs are scarce everywhere in Florida and around the world, so in the meantime I will just drive my Mini around until I find work..LOL

I bought my 3 Mini's at Mini Vista in Coconut Creek. The dealers are great there, especially Giorgio, Brad, Burton, Chris and Derick.

Great guys there.

Jim, I was checking out your gallery and your Mini's are great looking.
I absolutely prefer the Mini Garmin Navigation a million times better than that joystick navigator. I never liked that...I am very content with the Mini Navi.

Opps sorry my goof I should have phased it a bit differently I meant work with as in which dealership did your car transactions not as in working there as employment.

Excellent and yes they are all great people to work with!!
And like you said especially Giorgio who is my MA at Vista MINI.

Also thank you Dan for your kind comment on my MCSa and my Garmin nuvi 760 GPS with the Kuda mount has be absolutely accurate and works flawlessly to this day.

Unfortunately I am going through Lemon Law on my '08 MCSa which I have a separate thread on.

I'm on my 3rd Cooper...I have only had minimal issues along the way and I must say, my 09 Clubbie appears to be the better of the previous 2.

It seems that MINI quality gets better with each revision...and yes, I have my fingers crossed too!

Knocking on wood too!

Dave

That's terrific Dave.
I noticed a big difference in many ways with the 09 compared to the 06 which was my very first Mini car.
The 09's are better made, more powerful and faster.

looks great! Is that a new Wood Steering Wheel OEM design or is it some aftermarket setup ? My 07' has a perfectly round wooden trim on the wheel...

My Mini Cooper S. reaches a milestone today, July 31st 2009 at 10,000 miles..I bought my 2009 50th Anniversary edition car in Nov 2008..not bad considering I took a couple of trips out of state.
