Blue Cooper Wow, the whole garage smells like new car. Mmmm...new car.

Yet another "I finally got my MINI" post. Like nobody here's ever seen an Indi Blue MCS before. But here are my pics anyway.

Brad's MINI

I just had someone install an X-Pel clear bra on it today. He did one hell of a job too! Very happy with that. No paint chips for this MINI.

Great car, have fun and keep grinning.

With the MINI's handling, a Recaro kid seat is needed -- to keep the little tyke's head from bonking against the glass!!

Soon after I picked up my MINI, the weather got cold and the new car smell went away for the winter.

Now that the sun's back out and the weather's warming up making all the interior plastics outgas, the smell is back

Hehe, yeah the Recaro's a great seat. I was happy that it ended up fitting in my MINI so nicely. Our youngest (the owner of the other seat with the Elmo shoulder pads) is coming due for a booster seat of her own. So we'll have some symmetry in the back with two Recaros! That'll look cool.
