I am anxious to receive it and am just trying not to think about the eight weeks. The extra tough part is that my b-day is May 20th, which is shy of the due date (eight weeks from today is may 29th). I am hoping and praying it gets here in time for a birthday present. Otherwise I will consider it a belated birthday gift. Either way I know I will be surfing the web for all the MINI info I can find, posting to this site, and pulling my hair out. Ok, so that last part wasn't true (since I value my hair) but the rest is.
By the way, I looked at your gallery and love your car. Could you post more close up pics when you have the chance? I would love to see a rear shot too. I had the chrome line exterior on while I was configuring at the dealer, then he made the fatal mistake of showing me the carbon fiber. It was love! Still not sure if I will choose chrome mirror caps, carbon fiber mirrors, or leave white. I figure I can always make those types of mods later.
I must say I debated over my wheels for a while. It is so much cheaper to a) stick with 16inch
b) buy aftermarket
But I just couldn't get past how hot I think they will look when I pick my baby up, and I just figured the extra expense was my indulgent gift to myself. When I brought my Honda Element I ordered a stripped down base model. I told myself then that if I ever got a MINI it would be the opposite. With leather seats and 18inch jCW wheels, I think I fulfilled my luxury desires!
the waiting for your car can be tough.... as can the decisions on what accessories to add. i find that you just keep wanting more! congratulations on your new baby!

I can see why people get more than one MINI. . . the PW is SOOOOO classy, but yellow with black bonnet stripes and a checkered roof was the other option I kept thinking of. Maybe someday. . . Then there is the gorgeous British Racing Green. . . !!!
When I get a few more pictures, I'll post 'em! Been too busy driving, and don't want to stop to take pictures. Shame on me!

SCOOP! 07 MCS PW/PW Chrome Exterior/Driving lights/Sport pack & suspension/English Oak & Chrome Interior/Black Leatherette. Ordered 7/17 Born 8/2/07. Tagus 8/12-8/30 Pt. Hueneme. Home 9/12 :)
Your MINI should get here in no time for your birthday. I have to wait 3 years for mine. My wife's MINI is slowly taking shape. 16" Wheels are next for the summer. My wife's wish list is Black with red lip.
A funny thing happened in Feb. the wife decided to get a new car and opted for a nfr clubman. Having driven it a couple of times (mostly while she was in bed sleeping and I could sneak it out), I decided that it was time to get one as well.
So let me introduce to you.... the one with the pepper white sheen
... i think that it's just too young, but I'm sure that when it becomes a teenager (I'm new here, how many MINIyears= a humanyear?) I'll be able to tell right away (but by then I might have to name it 'sulky' )

Inimini, I love your bonnet stripes on your pw. Where did you have that done. Im waiting on a new pw sidewalk and would prefer to put that pattern on it

Many claim that '06 is THE primo year for the MINI, and they will become as sought after as gold bars. You are one fortunate dude to have landed such a gem. Congrats!
...and a two MINI family at that. I'm positively green.

Hi Annette,
Glad to be part of the Peerage! I should take possession of my PW/PW by the middle of next month. Put me down for 99.9
Thanks.

I'd like to request #157 for my new MINI. I picked the car up on 4/30/08 and we've been having fun ever since. Still concidering a name but I'm leaning towards "Doyle".
