I did it!!

Went to Mini of Peabody and got myself a New 2006 HyperBlue/White Cooper S. It has the Premium, Sport and Coldweather packages as well as an Armrest. They are installing the InvisiShield, Auxiliary Audio adapter and Rear Bumper protector tomorrow. I will pick it up tomorrow night, I can't wait!!

Great job. Now complete your breakin and find more MINIs to cruise with.

Don't forget to wave at other MINIs, at least the first 500 times you see another MINI.

Coming from the world of Ducatis and Aprilias, I am used to spending $$ on mods. An exhaust for my Ducati was $3000.00 alone.

In four hours, I will leave work and drive to Peabody to pick up the car..... I am so excited, I feel like throwing up. My wife thinks I'm nuts, she is probably right.

Welcome to NAM and congrats on your new ride. Beware the MOD bug as there is no cure for it's bite. $3,000 for an exhaust? The vendors are going to love you!!!

Woohoooo! I got the car home. I love it. It handles great and the motor is beautiful. Can't wait for the breakin period to be over. It is snowing pretty good right now, so no pics. As soon as the weather clears I will post some photos.
