Introducing Lucy to All !!

Hello Everyone and Happy Monday,

It's my pleasure to introduce my little Lucy, a 2012 Spice Orange Mini Cooper with black bonnet stripes in the front. She's slightly dirty because it's very cold here and snowing quite a bit. So a took some time this past Sunday and snapped a couple pics before the snow started to fly yet again.

Love her! I have yet to really break her in by driving up and around the Rocky Mountains (we live along the front range) and I suspect that may not happen until Spring as the high country has a lot of snow at the moment.

I'm thinking it will take me several days to figure out the radio and the hands-free system but will give it my best shot. I received her on Tuesday, December 13th so I've not even had her a week yet.

Hope everyone is doing well and either has their new Mini or it's closeby and on the way.

Cheers and Happy Holidays to all !!

Lucy is a beautiful MINI. I have found that the rush of ownership does not wear off. Enjoy!

the long wait is over! Isnt it great? Lucy is gorgeous! I know you're enjoying her as much as I am enjoying Pip. I love those "holey" wheels, they have such a cool retro feel to them, I am kinda wishing I had gone with those.

Welcome fellow Coloradoan, and nice ride! I have had mine now for just over a month, and our bad weather sure makes it hard to really enjoy them to the fullest.... Who did you buy from? I worked with Shelley and she made it enjoyable!!!!

"Swweeet" is what I said. Lucy is really a looker!
My Blue Coupe landed on the 15th and I am currently stuck in the "shipping ether".
How dose Mini of Loveland attach th temp licence plate. I hate the tape in the back window thing.
