My wife and I just ordered our first MINI Cooper on Monday. Although it will be her daily driver, I'm thinking that I'll buy a MCS when my car is due for replacement. The whole process has been great so far. And as a bonus, the Mini community is awesome!

Welcome, roverlandpark! I'm pretty new myself. Still waiting on Graham to begin his ocean cruise. Sitting on a dock in England. Like Tom Petty sings, "The waiting is the hardest part."

Welcome to the community. Sounds like you have one and need two. How soon before you get to order you MCS to go with the wife's MINI.

Put some pictures up when you get the MINI, enjoy NAM and all the fun your local clubs can offer.

If your looking for some Mountain fun, try MITM next year or come out this year and see a bunch of MINI's and enjoy the Mountains.

Howdy neighbor!

Welcome aboard. Share with us all the details about your impending
arrival so I can keep an eye out for you. I frequent the I-35 speedway
so be sure and wave.

Check out the local website mentioned above. Our monthly gathering
is tomorrow (Thursday) evening - you are definitely invited.

Thanks for the support! I'll post pictures as soon as it we get it. I told my wife that the club drives might be fun. I think she'll enjoy it.

As for my MCS... I have a 2002 Isuzu Trooper which I really like. It's primary purpose is to haul the dogs on our trips to and from Oklahoma. Until we move back to Oklahoma (maybe next year) it's not an option to get a replacement for it. So it will probably be late 2008 before I can order (sigh).

Welcome to NAM! I'm sure you and your wife will enjoy doing things with your local MINI club, and maybe you'll meet some of your virtual friends here at a national event.

If you bought your Mini from Baron, we too had a pleasant puchasing experience. Gabe and Samer took great care of us. Congratulations on your purchase.

It should be in by Labor Day. We were told that it's slated for Week 30 production (next week?). However, the Owner's Lounge has been updated yet. I'm checking regularly. Can you tell I'm impatient?

You are lucky. I had to wait nine months for mine.
