New Astro Black MINI Cooper!

This is actually my wife's new car and we just picked it up Saturday morning. Loving it so far other than a minor glitch that keeps triggering the CEL, but hopefully that will be resolved next Saturday when we drive back to Naperville to get it looked at!


Here are a few quick shots from this evening.

These were all taken by the spillway at the Coralville Lake.

It's nice to see the R56 in Astro Black - and in a Justacooper. I'm glad that color is still kicking butt.

I actually live only about a mile from that Village Inn.

Im loving the car so far, my car is a 2004 Mazda3 which is fun to drive, but when it comes time to replace I'm thinking a Cooper S is in order


Window Tint goes on Thursday morning, and then the next stop is some different wheels, the stock ones will be used for winter only.

Nice looking MINI! My MINI is all AB. I really like the white top and bonnet stripes on yours. It will make you more visible on the road!

Congrats on your new MINI.

Just got the window tint put on today. 15% in the rear and 35% up front, it looks even more hot. Cant wait till the wheels show up. (hopefully they'll be in next week)

Once I get the wheels put on its going to be time for another photoshoot
