Thanks Oxy At first I wanted Chili Red but the Pure Silver really started to catch my eye. I think it's a rare color for Mini and it has a real sports car look.

I LOVE IT!!!!

Hey Twister,

Fantastic roof! If you don't mind me asking, how did you do the flat black decals on the sides? I am waiting for my PW/B MC, and this just might be the bling that it needs.

this sounds cool... do you have a link? thanks!

Here is my new baby. No real mods yet. (just a rear badge holder and a stubby in the pic) I took posession 4 days ago, and I just can't stop grinning when I see it. Love this car.

Here's Mr. Cooper. I bought it from Mini Main Line in Philadelphia. Great sales and service. Go see Mark O'Neil.

Mods so far:
Rota RB 17 x 7.5 et45 (Mach V Motorsports).
Falken Ziex Ze 912 205/45/17 tires (Edge Racing)
Black w/Red Pin Boot & Bonnet Stripes (Aesthetic Creations)
Black Mesh Grill (Mach V Motorsports)
Custom Europlate to match PA plate number (Custom Engraving Company)

Next on the list:
Driving Lights
Lowering Springs

Mr. Cooper is an everyday driver (about 52 miles round trip) and is averaging 38-40mpg. This is one great car!

I am confused with the gas cap. I thought the S ones were different looking?

Yes, the S caps are usually recessed and aren't flush with the body.

Yeah, aren't they the chrome caps always on the S? Maybe this MINI is now super-collectible, like when the post office misprints a stamp. Maybe he should name his car Inverted Jenny.

Wow, that is really strange. A flush mount filler door on an S.

I picked up my new S on Thursday (No name yet). I actually traded in a Camry Hybrid for this and I am so glad that I did. I have fun driving again. Thanks to all that helped me make up my mind. Mini's Rock!

Meet Waldo

Wasn't going to name the car (how silly to name a car?!?) Anyway ,during the interminable 7-week wait, I was constantly wondering..."where's the car, where's the car"...then I remembered "Where's Waldo". Then it occurred to me...Waldo wears a red and white striped shirt...wait a minute, my MINI is red and white striped! And Waldo sounds British...and my MINI is built in the UK! So it just stuck!



Anyway, this is a pic on the showroom floor. Getting a better camera and will post close-up pics of the blackjack side scuttles as well (had searched for that pic before ordering but wasn't able to find one, so maybe it will help a fellow NAM'er down the road!). I think they look really sharp. I just had to have them (see my screen name!) when I saw them in the configurator. Got the dealer to throw them in as part of the deal.

Very cool name and concept! I love how the names that folks give to their MINI's evolve. Never thought that I'd name mine, either, but it happened!

Congratulations on your new pal!

close, Portage Bay. I will definately be hooking up with some PSMini events this summer.

strange about the gas cap thing. I never noticed. I'll have to ask my MA.

thanks for pointing that out.

cheers,

Verax
