Drove my chili red MCSC to work for the first time today. (Picked it up 8/1.) Then, I searched for an excuse to find an errand waaaaay across town to drive to. I didn't even mind the traffic and 95 degrees while driving with the top down.

I also have an iPad, but find it is difficult to get it to cooperate with photo posting. So, I use my MAC desk top instead. Use Retired Rev's instructions in the 1st Gear forum. (You need to start a gallery in your account.)

Look forward to seeing your new baby...

Download the Photobucket app from the app store. It's free and all you need to do is set up your account (also free) and follow the instructions. If you have a problem, send me a PM and I'll try to walk you through it.

Time to join the club

Ok, I am the proud owner of my 2nd Chili Red Mini. The first one was a 2010 Justa, and then I recently traded it for a 2011 MCS (used and certified). Moved the white wheels I updated on the 2010 to the 2011 MCS. Not having any luck with getting photo bucket photos to link.

I've had my Chili Red/White 07 MCS for a few weeks now. Got the dealer to swap the silver wheels for some white ones off a gray 08 they had.

Lets try this again, show photos this time

Ok, Retired Rev gave me advice on how to upload my pictures from photobucket. Below, if this works, is my first Mini, a 2010 Justa, and then the car I traded that in for, a 2011 MCS. Both CHILI RED with white top, and I kept my white wheels.

Below is the Justa, right after a weekend at the track (Roebling Road). Still has the numbers on it.

Size:  145.5 KBBelow was taken at MOTG this year, getting ready for the panoramic photo. I was parked next to a fellow Floridian with a chili red MCS. It's a small world, he is the same person I bought the white 17" wheels from.
