Canada First Checkmate+JCW in Canada?

Yesterday was a good day! Crowfoot Mini delivered my new 2006 CooperS/Checkmate. I was way too buy last night to get pictures for you but will post a bunch tonight. I've only put on 30 km but I am very impressed. The inside is incredible and checkmate package is crisp, clean and well coordinated. I am pleased with the whole build.

I understand mine is one of the only Checkmate+JCW in Canada on the road as of Nov 16th. True? Anyone get theirs earlier?

I saw this beauty as he was getting the low down from the MA! And then driving it off. Thought about asking if you wanted any pics. But you looked busy.
Very cool colour and graphics.

Canada Checkmate pictures are up!!!

Well I spent a few minutes and took a series of pictures..check out my Gallery... below is a small sample. I am taking requests so if you want more detail of something, let me know.

More outside pictures will probably wait until we are in the glorious mountains this weekend for our Calgary mini meet.

enjoy,

That is an amazing looking color scheme. Can I sit in your car in the Calgary Mini Meet on sunday

Is the back window grey or something? Doesn't look transparent from one of the pictures you took.

Nice one! Looking good

It always makes me laugh whenever I see a north american Mini fitted with one of those big-ass cupholders It gets damn hot in summer "down under" but I don't think I've ever had the need to quench a thirst big enough to fill a cup the size of one of those cup holders

Sure you can sit in it. The colour scheme is excellent I agree; different and unique, without being over the top.

The back window is normal; i think it just a wierd reflection from the flash angle. The window trim is the normal dark black but the flash goes right through the glass and shows up like this on my camera.

Good stuff We'll give your checkmate a little work out on Sunday! Highway 1A is going to be a nice fun drive, especially for MINIS!

I really like the interior of the CM mini's. But I couldn't get myself to order one, the checkers by the fender look tacky, IMO. The CM package would have been only $350 more than the car I eventually ordered too. The dark silver works for me
