I think you are right. I was joking with my MA about taking delivery of my best cars in rainy weather. Today started out sunny, beautiful. While I'm taking the delivery run down of the car, it's starts raining like crazy and then begins hailing...must be a good car True story

On the newest interior photo, Blue toy, is that some kind of cover on your cup holder?

Yeah, that needs some explaining. In the left cup hold is my change holder I grabbed out of my R52(it won't stay there). The one in the right cup holder is the ashtray/coin holder designed for the car my MA handed me before I left the dealership. You can also see the JCW temp gauge I had them install, really happy with that.

Looking good!!! I've been playing with the configuration tool all day...haha.. Hey is the HK sound worth it. I remember getting the upgraded sound in my 07 which was just an upgrade and not the now branded HK. I sure hope it sounds great as it's on my list.

Love the interior of you roadster!

Thanks 07-
I would say yes to the HK sound system, 10 speakers, 8 channels and 480 watts. It sounds pretty good Money well spent

I second that. The HK sounds great with well-recorded source material. I had some Beastie Boys (R.I.P. MCA) on yesterday and it was sounding fine, even from 128k AAC on my phone through the Aux jack (Android, not iPhone).

Wow, sorry to hear that! I was getting late for an appointment and he was running through their stock and found one. Also, ran in and grabbed me a nice new Mini T-shirt. It not a lot, but I really appreciated what he did. It's the little things right?

Right, it IS the little things that make a big difference in a customer's perception. In a few weeks, you'll receive an envelope from MiniUSA, and it will have a journal book, pen, mouse pad, and a few other doo-dads....the envelope turns inside out to make a carry bag with draw strings. It's nice.
