FINALLY! Week 3 MINI has a home

Okay, here is my MINI. It's finally nice to upload pics of my MINI at home.
Got home from the dealer -- Morristown MINI --- about 11:00 last night. WOW, what a fabulous car to drive!! The power is really something. Speed really creeps up on you. Without a question the first thing MINI will get is a radar detector, without cruise (for now) it is so easy to get moving too fast. I'll probably get use to it though -- I mean I'll get use to regulating my foot -- not that I'll get use to going too fast -- although...
Anyway, I could not say enough for this dealership -- if they are not a sponser here I think they should be courted to become one. I have very little good to say about the other Northeast dealer that is a sponser here.

Look I even got a smiley for the end of my antenna, and a Hammer and Coop airfreshener (don't ask me what the scent is - I have no idea -- it states "Smells Like Action".

Absolutely gorgeous! Morristown is also my dealer. I bought my '05 MC from them and my '07 MC is on order with them too. Great dealership.

Great looking car. My first Mini was LY, which I liked, but the MY is a lot more brilliant. Enjoy!!!

Awesome! Yellow and black looks aggressive.

I think I am going to be the last of the Asian Emporer week 3 bunch to get his - Mine is supposed to arrive at Honolulu harbor in the next day or two.

HA! They call that a crain shot.

The stripes are going on later this week once the dealer gets them in along with the JCW floor Check mats. My MA got me a great price on the mats! Yipeee! I'm kinda wavering on the stripes, without the the stripes is growing on me.

Now I have to name her/him. I lifted it up but couldn't tell if it was male or female so naming will have to wait untill i get a better feel for what it wants to be named.

I'm torn on a license plate between "ACTUALSZ" or "BRILYNT". Hey NYers DON"T STEEL MY PLATE IDEAS AT LEAST UNTIL I I PICK MINE.

MOTD is very tempting. I have to look into lodging and it's getting very late to make reservations and I don't go for sharing sleeping accomodations with night crawlers - no camping for me after my drive down.

Stunning! I love the new yellow.

The "Smells Like Action" air-freshener kinda scares me, though .

Yeah, I was actually concerned about opening the 'stay fresh' plastic wrapper.
