Wilhelmina had her first bath tonight. Here she is, gleaming in the sun, squeaky clean:

Very nice. Pepper White seems to be a very popular choice on the R56. It looks awesome.

I wish I had taken delivery the "normal way" like all you guys. I rushed my dealer so much the day it came in, they didn't even get a chance to detail it, let alone load it up inside the building and put the car cover on it and all that fun stuff.

I had to take it back the next day just to get it detailed! Oh well, Winston doesn't seem to mind too much, so I guess I won't either!

I have to admit, I was a bit nervous about the Redwood Lounge with Pepper White. I actually had never seen it in person prior to delivery. I'd only seen some pictures here on the forums on Sparkling Silver and Dark Silver cars.

In person they've still got some pop, but they're more subdued than most photos seem to show. I've got the anthracite headliner as well, which I think works great with blending with the dash and tying things together. It does lower the percieved headroom just a bit tho.

I'll try to get some pictures that help capture the color of the Redwood better here in the next few days.

Meet Quemas Prime

Just received my Mellow Yellow. Went goofy this year. Bought a R56 sparkling silver with redwood lounge interior, great looking car but was "too refined". My wife thought adding all the "stuff" to it would ruin the look. So I traded it in on this one. So my first car was Quemas- means what more , so this one has to be Quemas Prime.

I'm suprised at the difference in an April and August delivery. This one is easy to shift into reverse. The brakes aren't near as touchy, AC cools a lot better, engine fan seems to run longer after turning off the car, and it seems to just run differently? First thing was to paint the fender flares which my dealer did prior to delivery. Looking forward to window tint, stripes and 17 inch nonRF tires.

MCS, Mellow Yellow color line, LSD, DSC, Hyper Sport pkg, Premium pkg, anthracite interior, sport suspension, Xenon lights, piano black, chrome line dash.

Same here! I rushed him too and there were stuff missing like carpets (said he'll throw that in) and a hubcap that my bro noticed when i got home. At least i finally have it!

Here he is ......Skeeter !!!

A bit slow getting pics up here, these are from delivery day. Skeeter was onboard with Wondermini's Wilhelmina on the trek over.









After a long wait, Buster meets his new bud !
