MCSa Delivered Tonight - 6.13.2007
Wow, what a hoot. The new MCSa is all I wanted it to be. Great delivery process and all the power an old guy could want for this small of a package.
Almost had a full convert to MINIDOM as we arrived at the dealer, my wife noticed a sharp 07 yellow MC automatic bright yellow with chequered roof and mirrors, instant love. Thought I was going to have to leave with two MINIs tonight. She's still thinking, but she really likes the Jeep GC (her daily driver and long trip car) and she knows she can steal mine anytime (darn).
So, details with pictures at this link or check out more of my MINI pictures at my picasa albums.

Thanks it is fun...
It has been a fun day, not enough real drive time, but I did have to clean the brake dust off the wheels 
korby -- yes we do!
MINIclo -- still thinking on the yellow MC, it's her decision, but it's an MC or MODs, I wonder how I can make her Jeep a little nicer, wheel bling perhaps.
aeroguy -- white roof, snow, no problem. I will put up a real long antenna, like the snow poles along Trail Ridge Road. Now that will be a nice drive in July.
Thanks to all of you for the comments, I will put up some better pictures I hope to take along the twisty roads this weekend.

Thank emtrey
dreman.. to answer plus a little more.
Yes the (a) stands for the Steptronic automatic (6 speed) with Agtronic Paddle on the MFWL steering wheel. I have been having a blast with the paddles. Yes, you can overrev the engine with the automatic in manual, so much for the automatic (stoopid proof) upshift while your blasting around.
So, I imagine I have violated my break-in rules at least 5 times. Hummm.
Oh well, break them in as you want to drive-em. Worked with my Alfa race engines.
Of course at about 2500 miles I will do the first owner oil change.
Enjoy,
Don

Bump for scooter
Hi, I named my MCSa (scooter). it just fits. I find myself very constrained by the breakin rpm limit, so does scooter.
