Very nice!

 

She's a beauty!
Congratulations.

 

Congrats!! Very nice. Have fun with her....like you have any other choice, right?

 

I love the interior. And glad you got the black headlight housing.

 

Looks great !! How hard is it to refrain from stepping on the gas? I have heard the break in period is rough.

 

Beautiful! Also dig the interior - great choice! Enjoy!

 

It is beautiful Mike....close to a twin of ours....heard yesterday our JCW roadster is due at the LA dock this weekend...then on to the Portland dealership then home to Medford. Enjoy to the fullest....

 

Congrats! Nice combination

Grats!
Should you be tempted to start moddin', let BlueToy guide you. You'll be in good hands!

 

Congrats looks good, break in for about 1500 miles, I just kept it in non sport mode lol......changed to royal purple oil at 2k and am having fun getting on it now....trying to burn up these crappy tires so I can get some non runt flats.

 

Thank you all for the comments!

I struggled with the interior choices but I really like the way it came out. The polar beige door panels really show the led lighting which is nice.

Regarding break in....I don't mind stepping on the gas and many seem to feel that you should not be too easy on it anyway. I don't let it go above 4K rpms but other than that I am not worrying about it too much. I do make sure to vary speed. My MA said he thinks people who are too easy on the car have problems - as much as those who are too hard on it during break in.

I already have 350 miles (I drive a lot).

Mods are already on my mind! I doubt I can keep up with BlueToy and I know I can't keep my car as clean as he keeps his!

 

Well I hope you get it quickly - I know how agonizing the waiting is. My Roadster took longer to get from the port in NJ than it did to cross the Atlantic! My dealer was great though - turned it around in less than 24 hours.

 

Nice. Interior really works well with the white paint.

 

Really stunning! The stripes set it off well. We got the driving lights as well and they are serious! We did the Polar Beige too and it does work well with the interior lights.

Congrats!

That's a great looking Mini. The black and white thing is very tasteful. I'm getting the itchy trigger finger for a JCP Coupe!

 

Tonight my wife and I went to a car show in the area (music/classic cars, etc.). We parked the Roadster and then just kind of watched. Despite the fact that there were Porsches, Corvettes, MG's, Thunderbirds and many beautiful classic cars, the Roadster got it's share of attention. I'm sure no one had seen one before but it was still great to see the little girl hold her own with all those classics!

 

JCPenney makes a Coupe too??

 

They sure do, and I think the TV ad has Phyllis Diller driving it.

 

YEAH another NYer , Best wishes hope to see you around

 

Hi Mike...I assume you are having a ball with your new roadster. Apparently mine is being unloaded from the ship in LA right now...What did you use to mount the front license plate? Did the dealership drill the front bumper for the mount or is it one that does not need drilling? I am looking at the one that mounts in the tow pin hole but it is not centered and I prefer the look where it is in the center of the front. Thanks. Bob

 

What a beauty! Enjoy your new baby!

I looked at the no drill mounts but they all seemed to be as you describe - in the tow mount and I didn't like the off center look either. So I just told my dealer to go ahead and drill. They mounted a plate holder that fits well.

 

LOVE IT! Really great color combo. The stripes are really set off nicely in that color and love those wheels. Those are absolutely our favorite of the wheel options. Great interior combo too. Glad you are loving her and Congrats to ya! She was worth the wait.
