Here she is



Picked her up last night. 8 agonizing weeks waiting for her to be built, shipped, port install items and then delivery to Florida from SC.

2007 MCS
Dark Silver
JCW Aero kit
JCW 18" double spoke rims
Driving Lamps
Interior is Black leather, Anthracite head liner, Black Piano and Wood trim

She had only 1 mile on her when I picked her up and still has less than 50 miles. Weather has been terrible. This combined with work has really kept me from taking her out for a solid day of driving.

Is that air?

Looking good, is that air under the right rear?

What does it cost for a weekend on the track out your way?

Thanks! The weekend was a Phil Wicks event sponsored by one of our local dealerships, MINI of South Atlanta. Because of the sponsorship we paid $375 for both days. It was a great time!

That turn was sinister --- decreasing radius dog-leg-type thing.
You come off a straight into a 180, prepare yourself with a merciful offset, and then look through to the decreasing radius. Stomp down on the binders, lean into it, stomp on the accellerator, and hope you don't drift too wide and go digging carrots. Then there's another not-so-bad 160-degree increasing radius that you can really generate speed on.

Super fun. I don't think I got the wheel in the air but I probably came close a few times.


And Trinity always looks good. I think we were both giggling so hard that the corner workers thought we were retarded. My wife is still giggling, in fact, but she's got an R53...

To cool! I love the driving lights. Black Piano AND Wood? I didn't know you could do that.

When you get wood, the curved piece in the door is Piano Black. They don't do that in wood.

Aaron,

Really like your Yellow Mini. I have seen it many times on your web site. I know the wheels are 17x7 what size and brand of tires are you running and how much is it lowered.Do the tires rub at all. I am about to order my mini and will be getting a set of Team Dynamic wheels from you.
Thanks
chuck
