Just got my brand new...

2010 Mini Cooper S!!! I'm really pleased with it. It's an awful lot of fun to drive and to look at.

The dealer, Seattle Mini, was wonderful; they met my price with minimal negotiation. And I bought the extended service plan and extended warranty.

I wonder if someone could help me with the abbreviated description, please. My car is chilli red, with a black roof and mirrors. It has black racing stripes on the hood, the kind that are not parallel.

Manual transmission, Premium, Sport, Cold weather, and convenience packages. Also has black lounge leather, and the back-up warning system.

What a way to kick off my retirement!!!

Thanks for all the friendly messages. This forum is going to be a great resource and a good place to hang out. Is it easy to post pictures?

NWG welcome. Sounds like a similar setup to Spike, except you've got black roof and stripes

A picture, I hope...

file:///Users/williamcohon/Desktop/Mini%20S%20photo.JPG

I went to the mall, the morning after I bought my new MCS, and when I came out of the store it was beginning to drizzle. Still, my car looked so good, I took a picture on my iPhone. I hope it appears here.

Now the fun begins Your gonna love it Just be careful who you park next to I noticed that truck next to you, they have large swingin doors and..... whooops scratch/dent... the inconsiderate people who fling their doors and dont give a damn.I always try to park next to the nicest expensive car in the lot because usually they take pride in theirs too.Justa heads up comment.

Good point, Minimize07.

I have a good friend who's a heart surgeon, and she always tells me to park in the spots at the very far end of the parking lot. That way you avoid door dings AND the walk is good for your heart.

Congrats & Welcome! Beautiful MINI...your friend is right. Door dings are bad for the heart so steer clear to the end and walk.
