Well I finally visited the 2007 MINI at this past weekend and I must say I was much more impressed with it in person than I have been by the pictures. It was sparkling silver MCS with the red leather interior and JCW Aero Kit. As soon as I sat in the driver seat I made an loud oooohhhhh sound and my wife to be knew she was in trouble. She liked it as much as I did......The interior was much more appealing to me in person and the new styling was pretty sharp. No I am not getting rid of my 06 MC anytime soon but congrats to all the new R56 owners out there.

 

Thanks, dude. We're stoked as well!

 

Yeah, I had that same reaction to the lounge leather.

 

I was ready to order mine in Sparkling Silver until I saw the Nightfire Red. I have to wait unilt mid-March to order as I am doing it as part of the dealerships allotment order (and the Nightfire Red will not be available until 4/1 anyway), but I am pumped.

So, instead of driving my new wheels around, I'll just drive everyone nuts here. LOL!
