Well the first MINI in the family is the "new" sport for the 20 y/o...but given Im 53, MY WIFE, figured the Classic MINI look would suite me best....but after all was said and done, it turned out great!

Ha Ha sucker! That first test drive has doomed so many of us. Oh well better to just settle back and enjoy the insanity.

I'm currently working on my father. He's driving a '99 F150 4x4 5.4L around.

+1. Yup. Mini sales people don't really have much selling to do except to say, "Would you like to test drive it?" In my case, the dealer was just prepping a new demo Mini, and I was the first driver. After the test drive, I said, "I want this one."

Love your car by the way! Talk about fully loaded

Yep, it's going to be a really long two days and an even longer train ride from STL to KC...but it will be worth it.

Thanks!! I've had moments of doubt between ordering it and seeing the pics for the first time. However, now that I see the final outcome, there are no more doubts. I made the right choice for me.

I did, I think I got everything except the convenience package. I also had the windows tinted and a guy hand paint black pinstripes down both sides of my two center white stripes and then got him to paint my spoiler as well. Turned out great(see pics). You will have way too much fun when you get yours.

Did the dealer get someone to do the seats or did you find someone, and how much were they?

Got mine Tuesday, didn't get the stripes until today. Only have some crappy cell phone pics of the car crammed into the garage:



Moving the bike frees up some space for this shot:


Interior (shot with actual camera Tuesday night):
