Introducing "Tess" short for Mistress

I can't wait until the motor break-in is over, because she is just AWESOME!

PLEASE IGNORE THE TIME STAMP ON THE PHOTOS THEY SHOULD BE 10/21/12

She's pretty hot. I'm sure your wife will understand why you have a mistress.

Thanks for sharing the pics. She's a great looking Roadster. Love the way the black trim accents the PW.

I'm keeping her at a steady dose of varying speed and rpm's. Keeping the rev's under 4500. I have 200 miles on her so far. Pure excitement. Can't wait to open her up.

Nice Are those BMW/MINI rims or aftermarket?

They were on the wall of the dealership. I'm pretty sure they are for the JCW. The wheels are a two piece with titanium bolts. If I remember right. The wheels I ordered weren't available when I ordered. We (me and dealer) didn't find this out until the roadster was delivered, so I got a really good deal on them.

Very nice looking! Because of the mandatory black top, the black and white combo has a very classic, almost retro look. Oh, and awesome wheels!

Great looking, wish I could have a second, because I need something to transport the kayaks.

Those are the R98 7x17 Web Spokes with the black (vice silver) finish. Interestingly, they're listed as a JCW accessory for the non-JCW models but don't appear as a configurator option when ordering a JCW.

Fully agree that they look superb on Slowride's ride.

Thanks, it is just one more "small" payment for the second one.

Yes. Thanks you for getting this. They also didn't show up in the configurator as an option when I ordered in Aug.

Dealer 'just' happened to have them hanging on the wall .
