Thanks Oxy At first I wanted Chili Red but the Pure Silver really started to catch my eye. I think it's a rare color for Mini and it has a real sports car look.

I LOVE IT!!!!

Hey Twister,

Fantastic roof! If you don't mind me asking, how did you do the flat black decals on the sides? I am waiting for my PW/B MC, and this just might be the bling that it needs.

Here is my new baby. No real mods yet. (just a rear badge holder and a stubby in the pic) I took posession 4 days ago, and I just can't stop grinning when I see it. Love this car.

Here's Mr. Cooper. I bought it from Mini Main Line in Philadelphia. Great sales and service. Go see Mark O'Neil.

Mods so far:
Rota RB 17 x 7.5 et45 (Mach V Motorsports).
Falken Ziex Ze 912 205/45/17 tires (Edge Racing)
Black w/Red Pin Boot & Bonnet Stripes (Aesthetic Creations)
Black Mesh Grill (Mach V Motorsports)
Custom Europlate to match PA plate number (Custom Engraving Company)

Next on the list:
Driving Lights
Lowering Springs

Mr. Cooper is an everyday driver (about 52 miles round trip) and is averaging 38-40mpg. This is one great car!

I am confused with the gas cap. I thought the S ones were different looking?

Yes, the S caps are usually recessed and aren't flush with the body.

Yeah, aren't they the chrome caps always on the S? Maybe this MINI is now super-collectible, like when the post office misprints a stamp. Maybe he should name his car Inverted Jenny.

Wow, that is really strange. A flush mount filler door on an S.

I picked up my new S on Thursday (No name yet). I actually traded in a Camry Hybrid for this and I am so glad that I did. I have fun driving again. Thanks to all that helped me make up my mind. Mini's Rock!

Meet Waldo

Wasn't going to name the car (how silly to name a car?!?) Anyway ,during the interminable 7-week wait, I was constantly wondering..."where's the car, where's the car"...then I remembered "Where's Waldo". Then it occurred to me...Waldo wears a red and white striped shirt...wait a minute, my MINI is red and white striped! And Waldo sounds British...and my MINI is built in the UK! So it just stuck!



Anyway, this is a pic on the showroom floor. Getting a better camera and will post close-up pics of the blackjack side scuttles as well (had searched for that pic before ordering but wasn't able to find one, so maybe it will help a fellow NAM'er down the road!). I think they look really sharp. I just had to have them (see my screen name!) when I saw them in the configurator. Got the dealer to throw them in as part of the deal.

Very cool name and concept! I love how the names that folks give to their MINI's evolve. Never thought that I'd name mine, either, but it happened!

Congratulations on your new pal!

strange about the gas cap thing. I never noticed. I'll have to ask my MA.

thanks for pointing that out.

cheers,
