GP1292 Delivered!!!

Here she is......Dusty Rose...GP1292....home base is Littleton, Colorado! The FIRST GP delivered to Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming!

Having driven my 2003 Velvet Red MC 23k miles over the past three years I must say the GP is a whole new experience and is worth every penny AND MORE!!

Enjoy the pics and MOTOR ON!!

Congratulations! Your pleasure will grow even more, as you spend more time in her. So..Dusty Rose? I guess it's a common thing to name your MINI? I'm a newbie owner--6 days as of today!

Congratulations! I'm also a Cooper driver switched to a GP and whew what a difference! When I had a good look at the red trim I started thinking of famous red heads, 0696 became Lucy. I Love Lucy She will be turning 1,000 today the what seems long break in period is almost over.

GP1292 Update

I've had it 7 days 22 days and 21 hours, I've got only 450 miles on it !!! So far I absolutely love it! It has more power than any legal street would allow. Mybroken leg is healing fine and as it turns out having the 6 speed has been good physical therapy! I found the solution of how to get it washed (because I can not right now). My son and his friend! Everytime I park it they wipe it down! Now that she has had her first hand wash....I thought you would like to see some pics with the fabulous Rocky Mountains in the background. It's great to be driving one of only 2 in Colorado!!


Son & friend washing GP1292....

finally saw this bad boy in person today during lunch. Great looking car Tim, and I am loving the OZ UL's. Hopefully when things thaw out here in Denver, and the streets are dry, and you get those summer tires back on, and I can get my MINI out of the snow covered garage....we can go for a little ride and swap

Good to meet you today too Jon! I love my GP and could not have a better daily driver despite the snow I'm getting around just fine thanks to OZ and Dunlop! Since I got her November 10, 2006 I only have 1881 miles! She is an ANGRY little car!!!

Looking forward to the swap. You can drive the GP ANYtime!!!

Rock on Tim....I wanna wait for spring to feel the real GP...maybe we can even have a detail day over at my place, get her all cleaned up and purdy as well as go for some drives. Hopefully I will have my custom interior done by then....tear down starts next week....my blue gauge face plates arrived today
