Welcome to the MINI Family Toober! He has arrived :)

First off I want to give a great thanks to everyone at Moritz MINI in Arlington, TX.. Best dealership ever.. I had paperwork done in 30 mins and was off after my tutorial from my MA Neil who rocked hard.

If you are in TX please visit them.. Great dealer.. http://www.moritzmini.com


Toober has arrived!

I picked him up around 2-3PM today.. He was born January 15th in Oxford England

He arrived at port around Feb 6th, and was delivered this past Monday, but picked him up now due to MINI Training for my MA.

Cooper S 2007 Chili Red Black Bonnet/Roof

Sport and Premium Packages.. 17" Crown Spokes
Auto Dim Mirror
Garage Door Opener
White turn signal lights
(I dont have the storage compartment, but my MA is looking into if this can be retrofitted)
Auto headlamps etc etc








I only stalled 3 times coming home! Not bad for a first time stick driver (i live 20-30 miles from Moritz) :P

Anyways.. Glad I got him..!

Toober looks fantastic! Congrats and enjoy. Is the bonnet/wheel gap pretty good? Looks good from the picture but wanted a first hand critique . Keep practicing your 1st gear starts!

I'm still hearing people report it both ways, but I have not seen a photo of an S without it.
