How I accidently purchased my Astro Black MCS
I was just going to the dealership to look ( only to look ) at an '04 MCS. I drove and loved it. I thought it was going to come home with me. Then I saw "Bullwinkle"...an Astro Black ( sort of blue grey black color ) with a black roof. The guy who was supposed to take delivery on it that day had backed out and now Bullwinkle needed a home. So an hour and half later it had a new home. I absolutely love driving this car. I can't believe I waited so long to buy one.
Thanks to Dave at Knauz in Lake Bluff IL for all the help, answers and patience!

Wow, no waiting for you.
Bullwinkle loves you. The feeling is mutual I see.
Looks great. Drives great.
Very very nice. It's good you found a true first love. It is funny how our MINI's seem to climb into our pockets. It must be the fun factor. The stars were lined up right for you.
More pictures please. Your dog by the MINI? Wondering if he/she will get a ride ever again!

Congrats, nice looking MINI.
It's hard to believe someone would change their mind about a sweet car like that. His loss is your gain. Plus no 6 week wait. Instant gratification.
Those are very nice photos.

Great little story, we shared something in common.
Samething happened to me, was going in to place an order but "sol" gave me a long stare and the rest was history; I took her home on the spot...
Congrats and enjoy, great pics by the way...

C's C: I think I might have seen you last evening, maybe 8 pm corner of Armitage and Damen, heading north? But we were walking, so didn't wave (figuring you'd think we were nutz 
We live in Bucktown, right near that corner. So look out for me at Costco, TJ's, Green City Market, Petco - sometimes with a dog or two in the back!
