Well, the 17th is still over 3 weeks away - %#&&!! - I wish it was today! Actually I wish it was delivery day! Of interest. MINI's are very rare to see around here. But today I saw a CR/W parked at a local motel. It looked VERY nice. It certainly caught your eye! And that is actually one of my 'concerns'. My MINI will be an extreme rarity here. It will draw plenty of attention no matter what color it is - but bright red and yellow (both of which I really like) might TOO attention attracting in my small town. Plus red/white just happens to be the colors of the arch rival high school team. It still SS/W for me!
