[Red GT]

I don't know if anyone remembers my mentioning that we"ve been waiting since January (when we got on the list)for our new Mini Cooper S. We finally brought it home today. 2005 Electric Blue with white roof, mirrors, and those oh so neat rims, v-spoke, 17"ers, and white bonnet stripes. The white accents really make the Blue pop! Now we have two cool retro cars. And oh what fun we're going to have with them both. I drove it home part of the way. Very much a gokart feeling, pretty zippy, but not the launch feeling like the GT. It's a 6 speed manual, reverse is upper left like the GT. Both being GETRAGS. At any rate we already love the GT and I can see some curves ahead in the Mini. Can't wait!
