We're back from the dealer with Katie. Got a few preliminary pictures. We're gonna go motorin' some more here shortly. I'll write more later, but we were very impressed with our MA. We found some residue on the door edges (from the tape) and a hard water stain on the chrome. Everything was buffed and wiped clean before we left. We asked for them to remove the (new) cup holder, but he couldn't find the correct screwdriver. So, he just showed us how to take it off ourselves. It'll be coming off soon - it's too ugly to ruin the nice interior.
Overall, a very pleasant experience!

From what I could tell, the new cupholder was standard. I think it sucks. We actually tried using it since it was still installed and it's way flimsy unless you probably have a huge cup. And it sqeaks when I move it. Gotta get me one of the those hex screwdrivers.
We put on over 100 miles today motoring around. Taking the long route everywhere. We got 1 wave from a non-MINI (one of those new funky convertible trucks) & we got egged on by another new car that wanted to race or something (single lane road, no room to even try to race with all of the curves). Kept loosing her on the corners!
I did share the enjoyment and let my hubby drive some of the afternoon. Of course, he knows that he probably won't get behind the wheel for a while now.

Picked up The Car this morning . Motored around town before going out the the State Fair for a couple of hours. Met one other MINI on the road, flashed lights and exchanged waves. What a car! Absolutly everything as anticipated and then some. I agree with 2005LY about the cup holder, it's off already. Will write more and post more pictures tomorrow.
