Cool! What color combo did you go with? Not sure I like the white top option. How long is the wait?

Color is Indy blue/White top....had to get white top in order to have the Union Jack up there. You can find a pre-speced Cooper available with some looking...to order a Cooper S your looking at next March or so.

I heard the engine inside the MINI...

I heard the engine inside the MINI cooper is the same engine as NEON..
Well, that's what I heard....which I doubt it.
Hmm.. Unlike MB and Chrysler, it's made by BMW right?

Please excuse my ignorance..

The engine is a joint venture between BMW and Chrysler from the same plant as the Neon in Mexico. I just saw my first one yesterday.

What's with this 1 speed automatic? Does the Automatic really have 1 speed?
