New occupant in the garage

Well it's got 4 wheels but it's open air and DAMN fun... Tracey is the proud and VERY happy owner of a 2006 Mini Cooper S Convertible...

Hot Orange paint, navy roof, navy leather with orange stiching, all the bells and whitles on this one short of the John Cooper Works package... found it last night driving through a Auto Park, showed up at opening today and by the time she left there were 4 people on the waiting list if she didn't get it. It just came in... the safety and certification isn't even don yet... she's using dealer plates till Tuesday... this was just a fluke that we found it... went out there on a whim just for something to do.

I think we're going to have my paint guy do REAL racing stripes in navy on the hood... the stickers Mini sells for $130 are a joke compared to the rest of the car.

I'll post more pictures of Tracey and her baby later but here are the dealer shots...
 
Nice!

Heading over to Scotland at the end of the summer to check out my brother's coupe.

Very Nice car!
 
So, I hope you know Kim and I may ask to test drive the little guy when we get into town. Kim's been after one for a while. We have our eyes on the Clubman.

Nice car, really like that colour. Never saw one like that before. Would be a nice colour on a bike.

Well now there's an idea! She just decided that we will paint the tins on her bike Mini Hot Orange and when I get around to stripping the bike to the frame the powder will be a navy/blue colour... untill then the black frame will work well too.

Great idea! Thanks!

No problem... I expect reciprocation on the Yamaha Manx... if you finish it before I join the old & decrepit riding Harley Road Kings :)
 
Yep - nothing like an orange bike :)

Does she know you're posting pics of her with her top down? :D

The rear seats look like they have a bit of room, wasn't expecting that.
