Picked up Lizzie today!!!

110 Smiles per Mile!
It was 57 degrees outside, had the top down, heat on, radio blaring.
Had to take advantage of the fact that we are between rain showers at this time.

Congrats. I've been following your story for the past few weeks and was bummed when you almost gave up on the MINI then excited for you when you finally got word that it was ready. Enjoy!

Post pics and your spec!

Aside from this little incident with the wrong wheels, which was not entirely their fault, dealer gets about an 8.

Yes, I had to drive out to get lunch today, and yes, I HAD to take the top down. One of the few times this week it wasn't RAINING!

And I'm glad I sprang for the HIFI, so I can blast some Garcia and still hear while passing noisy trucks -- even on the highway.
