    Visited MAG this morning and sat in the red Cooper S Countryman...

    Mmmmmm... nice. Love the rail system and the SPACE, as well as the aggressive stance. Was tempted to take a test drive, but I know from the Configurator what it'd cost me with all the options I want (read as: :crazy: :incazzato: :eek:ut: ).

    Maybe in a few years, when the dalliance lease folks start turning them in...

    That is the best looking CM I have seen so far (no offense to other owners) Something about the red and white break up the shape and make it look smaller.

    Matt thanks for posting I was starting to worry there was some kind of MOM armagedon where anybody who posted was taken out and I was next on their list. Maybe we are just the last two, glad I have been driving my Volvo all week so they can not find me.

    Matt, just let me know when you want to drive one and you can take my wife's S for a spin. No armagedon, just a lot of us packing for MOTD and getting ready to hit the road. My count says that we have 11 MoM's down there this weekend. :Thumbsup::beer:popcorn:

    Wish I could go, Mark, but I'm finishing up my current job this week and starting my NEXT one on the 2nd... Life's amazing, but it can be so INTRUSIVE sometimes. :)

    You guys have fun down there for me, OK? Be careful on that ^%$#@! Dragon Road - it's a car killer. :prrr:

    And this is the banter was missing. Off topic I handed 4 keys to a Volvo to an excited guy tonight, we are back to 2 cars in our garage and none on our street! All Subarus all the time now. Until Jill gets a new car, she wants a Volvo as ironic as that is.

    The MINI won't stay clean. Mine us filthy already! I need them to pick mine for the detailing clinic tomorrow. It got pretty stormy tonight but is supposed to be awesome through Sunday! Look out for all the stray limbs on your way in.

    Mine is pretty dirty. Maybe if I drive fast enough the dirt will fly off & land on others in the parade. Blasting off early this AM after I check the oilz...

    Matt,
    We drove a surf blue Countryman S on US 28 today here at MOTD and I'm in love!! I actually think there is the same amount of body roll as my Clubman and the steering is tighter than my Clubman. There might be a surf blue/white Countryman in our future very soon... :)
