My Chili Red Roadster is almost here

I got the call yesterday that it is on the boat, and I should be taking delivery in about 10 days.

Chili red with black stripes and all black trim. I even worked with the dealer to find a way to mess with the system and get the black wheels. I've been staring at it as my desktop background for a few weeks, so looking forward to seeing it in person.

It was pretty weird buying a car without having seen one before.

Congrats...so close. I think that is the really interesting thing about the Roadster, we saw a pic an knew we had to have it, without even touching one. Something about it that speaks to you on an emotional level as well as the Mini performance/fun level

Congratulations!

Great color choice!

I'm still impressed by those of you bold enough to order one without having seen it in person. Seeing he "Traveling Roadster" is what enabled us to pull the trigger.

You are going to love it!

Don

Well mine looks a lot like yours, only slightly different wheels (I have the black conical spoke wheels that are quite shiny )

I've had it for a week now, and just loving it. This is my first Mini, but my 4th convertible. By far my favorite car ever.

Congratulations! I'm glad you are enjoying the Roadster. But you know that if you don't post a picture then it didn't really happen.

My JCW Roadster is now on a boat heading my way.

Posting a picture ... yeah ... I was able to post one, but haven't figured out how to post it in another thread. *cough* Mini Connect is easier to figure out

I guess I'll need some external picture posting site. I've always avoided those, since I don't need yet another account.

Bet those wheels look good on that car! We definitely need to see some pics!
