Black Toffee

My Roadster is at the dealer

I stopped by my dealer this afternoon, and was delighted to see the new Roadster in the flesh...very cool moment. The weather has been quite inclement lately, so I stood there in the light rain and snapped a few pics...grinning like a child. I could have stood there all afternoon

Two quick iPhone pics...

LOL, I know, when my MA opened the door, my jaw dropped, quickly followed by a big stupid grin

Finally a toffee int. Looks nicer than I thought it would. Mine will be in a BRG with an aluminium dash. Really frustrated with my dealer as they have been really absent with any information.

Hope to have our soon.

Nice car. It's been a long wait, I'm happy that it's just as you wanted!

Congrats on "almost" getting your new ride. I picked up "Frida" last Saturday and what a looker - I had people driving up next to me on the way home taking pictures. Since you are in the Chicago area - do you belong to the MINI Club there? I'm joining up with them on the 18th for a RTE 66 Drive (from Wilmington to Pontiac).

I think it's good luck for a rainy day dealer delivery.
