Great looking car, I love the red/black roof combo with the FDTN interior. A little disconcerting to see them driven off the truck when I first saw it, as they bounce over the little wells intended to hold the cars in place while in transit -- not a lot of suspension play with those shipping spacers in the springs! :-) Congrats again!

GBMINI#3 looks terrific. I assume that you've now taken deliver. If so, how does the automatic feel so far? Is it everything you were expecting it to be? I love the colors you chose for the car. It's fantastic! -- MIKE Hi Ian,

Congrats! GBMINI#3 looks terrific.

I assume that you’ve now taken deliver. If so, how does the automatic feel so far? Is it everything you were expecting it to be?

I love the colors you chose for the car. It’s fantastic!

GB MINI 2 was my fav MINI of all time and I really was suprised when you opted for GB MINI 3. I have a large picture of GB MINI 2 over my desk and I love that car and the stories about it.I was really suprised that you didn't keep him. (sob,sniff) I hope he gets an owner that loves him as much as you did... Good luck with GB MINI 3. See you soon at an upcoming get together or rally! yellocooper Congrats Ian: He’s a cute lil bugger.

Unfortunately I had to leave before his new baby showed up. Very happy for you Ian! I was at the dealership until about 10:15 and saw Ian there, like a kid on Xmas morning.

Ryan,
I don’t think so – except that MINI Peabody found me the soonest available manufacturing slot so that I ordered on Feb 2, and it was built by the 16th.

I wasn't sure when you first mentioned that you were getting the red interior how it would look, but let me just say I am jealous. I look forward to seeing GBMini#3 at MOT this year. Do you think you got special privileges because you’re such an Iconic Mini owner? =) Congratulations go out to you in what is probably the quickest order/receipt of a Mini that I ever heard of.
