R58 MINI Coupe Roll Call
#1476
Thanks for the advice Steven, I was either going to go for 12 or 10mm spacers, I've never put them on before, is there anything in particular other than obviously getting the right length bolts and correct stud pattern that I need to look out for?
Its a shame you guys are not nearby I'd love to get yours and some more coupes/roadsters together to do a colourful multicar night shot.

Nothing difficult about running the spacers, except do it right and order the correct length lug bolts for them.
I agree, would be cool to get a shoot together...and sample some of those terrific roads I saw in your photos

Hi!
Ordered my first MINI on Janurary 9th (specs in my siggy)! I've named her FlewTheCoupe because my test drive definitely felt more like flying than driving. I also added as much info as I know to the spreadsheet. Will update after I get a production date next week.
Impatient, but happy to have found NAM to aid in the waiting game and further my obsession with this unique and gorgeous vehicle.
Haven't seen too many out there in Reef Blue. Love anything navy-ish and in the sun it looks sparkly and amazing. Would have ordered PB or WS, but the challenge spoke wheel (that I HAD to have) wasn't availabe in black (anymore?). Definitely happy with my color choice, though it came at a few extra dollars.
Appreciate your posts and pics of your babies! May be looking for some help/info on mods and accessories in the future.
Thanks and enjoy!

Wow...I test drove that car and it is sweet! (Not to worry; I was very gentle with it. ) The deal I was offered in December was really tempting but I turned it down for two reasons. I wanted a manual and I thought the JCW was a bit too much power for my needs. On the other hand, I'm still waiting for my Coupe and you are on the road! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

You'll like the feel of your Coupe....here's wishing winds behind the sails of your delivery.

My Coupe is finished and waiting for transport. Can't wait...but guess I'll have to!

I looked at that one too. I ended up with mine because I liked the color a little better, liked the leatherette and leather dash over cloth/plastic and liked the better sound system. Otherwise the were close to the same car. I ended up getting more $ off on mine, although the MSRP was higher.

the Maryland MINI meetup group. Season's about to start up again I think--they don't drive in the winter. I'm assuming we'll see some drives planned coming up this month!
