Deposit is down on a practically new Spice Orange

Took the plunge. I've had my eye on a Cooper since they came to the US. Last night I put down a deposit on a Demo 2011 Spice Orange Cooper S. Wicked cool car and I love the color. It has a white roof, and mirrors. I'm so excited. Finally a car that will fit in the garage with my Duc.

I think I got a good deal and it is pretty close to how I would have ordered it. It only has about 5k in miles and they adjust the warranty accordingly.

Congrats! While I love my car color (eclipse grey), spice orange is one of the other colors that I've seen that I really like alot as well. Please post pics once you have!

Congrats - Love the Spice Orange!

What kind of Duc do you have? I've got a '98 ST2 (the "Pimp Parade Float"):

Thanks, I'm really looking forward to picking up the Mini. Love the ST2's. They are great bikes. I have a '07 Sport Classic. Its the 1000S.

A few pics of the new ride

It was tough to stop long enough to take a few pics, but here she is. The color is all over the place. It's hard to describe. This is hipstamatic vs reg iphone photo. Need to break out the real camera and take a few shots.
