I finally got my MCS :P

After 10 long weeks my car arrived. Im still waiting for the chrome bonnet scoop and think about stripes, but i can drive it and that's important. I love how it feels and all the small little things.

The only bummer is how fast you get used to power. At the beginning i was amazed by the acceleration. Now i often think if there is something wrong with the Turbo :P.

Here are some pics

What?! I thought I was going to be relatively unique with my Mini, but what you have there (or, what you will have when the chrome scoop is added) is exactly what I was going to order come December! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I'm sorry, but you'll just have to take yours back.
Or get the stripes you say you're thinking about... yeah, that's the ticket!

Or maybe we can agree in driving in different areas of the USA :P

You're just following me preemptively.

No. Still too much danger.

Really, have you thought about stripes? Black stripes (with the white piping) would look really nice on that hood of yours... And there's soooo many different styles to choose from; you don't have to go with the 'stock' Mini style.

Yeah well I got mine before you, but you do have chrome line, so I guess I'll let you slide.

Blue and Black is just a nice combo :P Do you have stripes?

Does anybody had the same feeling that you got used to the power that quick, or can there really be something wrong with mine?

No stripes here. I still haven't gotten used to it yet since I just recently got through break-in and can really try it out. Plus I've been trying to like non-sport mode but just the dead zone when you first press the accelerator makes me want to go to sport full time.
