Nothing special on the wheels, they don't show the brake dust like my 07s Challenge Wheels.

I do plan on using some of Prima's wheel wax when I get some dry roads and a shot with the power washer.

You will really like Black Wow and Banana Gloss, the are excellent products.

My new Countryman All4

Hi everyone, this will be my second Mini. I had a 2008 Cooper S in mellow yellow which I sold but regretted it ever since. I love this combination in the Countryman but wished it was available in mellow yellow. I ordered it from scratch so it basically has every option but the cold weather package since I live here in Houston, Tx. Enjoy the pics

Houston, sharp Countryman, that combination is excellent.

How about those cold mornings, heated seats.

Was that the only option you left off?

Well done.

Great looking Countryman! Thanks for posting. Seems like Countryman are popping up everywhere now. Thrilled to see all the new posters in this forum! Quite a change from just a month ago.

Love the red, it looks so good. Thanks for posting those. This was a close option for me, and the pictures show why.

I'm in Savannah by the way and I am addicted to heated seats.

Beautiful house too. I have total modern minimalism envy. Although I think your climate is worse than mine, so I'll take solace there.

Gorgeous MINI, Houstonviper1!!!! I'm in central Texas, but in cold weather, even spring & fall, those heated seats feel great to me....but each to his own.

I think once you've experienced the wonder of the heated seat, there is no going back, but until you do, it's seems like an unnecessary item.

We picked up our Countryman ALL4 at Crown Mini in Richmond today. Today was also the first time I have even driven a Countryman.

All I can say so far is that this car is awesome! It's like a cross between a Mini and a BMW, in a good way. Larger, more comfortable, but still drives great. It doesn't seem much slower than my old S while driving around town. On the track, I am sure it's a different story.

Will post more details and better pictures in the near future...

I shoot early in the morning when there aren't a bunch of people around. (That retail center doesn't open until 11:00 AM on Sundays and I was there at 9:00 AM)(The Country Road Scene just happened to be on a road that leads to one person's house. So as long as no one was coming or going to their house...no traffic) (The shots under the tree with me standing in the picture were taken on an empty lot that's for sale for $500K...as long as no-one's trying to buy it, its empty) Plus I live in a Dallas suburb with lots of wide open space.

Congratulations Murphye.... More pictures of your Oxford Green CM.

Polo, wow, that is a nice set of pictures. Are these just casual shots you took or are you staging?

Either way, excellent.

Makes me want to go wash up our CM and take some country or snow pictures.

I picked up Miniblue2 late Friday. I drove one for the first time on the way home. I knew it was right when I first read about it and after the MA's tested it in October. My gallery has a few more pictures.

No, I'm not staging. These are just casual shots. Its just me telling the wife, "I'll be back. I'm going out to see if I can find a good place to take some photos of the Countryman."
