It's here!

Just got my chili red cooper s today - well worth the wait. This thing is FAST!!! I'd no idea - the test drive was pretty sedate in heavy traffic - but this is unbelievable! Glad I ordered one.

Congrats. Welcome to the obsession. Enjoy the ride.

Don't forget to keep it under 4,500 rpm and below 90 mph during the 1,200 mile break-in period.

Those look very nice, pictures when the light comes back in the AM.

Remember, you promised.

Congratulations, enjoy those neat roads in Scotland, made for a MINI.
