Yessssssssssssssssssssss.

Got it!!!!
Drove an hour and half to Mini in Mass. Went in the showroom and browsed around sat in a few MINI's including a Yellow Mellow MCS w/ Sport Pkg Rear Fogs & Leather Sport steering wheel. Then went for a test drive in a Laser Blue MCS and Loved it what an awesom car.

Went back and looked at their inventory told my MA I wanted a MCS with xenons, that was what I wanted. He said ohh we have a yellow w/ sport pkg and some additionl features I said ohh isnt that the one in the Showroom? IT WAS. I said I'll take it!

Its soo nice I can't believe I own a Yellow MCS. It looks sharp. Nice with the black roof and 17" runflats. I'll post some photos in a few. Got to go take em! The ride back was nice!

132 Miles on it now
Here are Pictures as promised:

Nice, welcome to MINIdom. Pictures of your MY/B, I would love to see a closeup of your leather steering wheel.

Enjoy the drive, good pick after driving 1.5 hrs.

Gotta love that "on the spot" desicion making, but you've missed out on the the fun and anticipation of orderering and waiting 6 to 8 weeks !

Enjoy your new ride...as mentioned above it makes me want to go out and jump in my MINI and motor, but I'm only 1/2 way done with the lawn , Maybe Later

Isn't it a great feeling to not have to wait for 8 weeks for your car and still get what you want (or what the wife wants in my case) ?

HA! And its first mod is already stuck to the windshield. A techno-toys geek after my own heart.

Thanks for the pictures, it is a very sharp MY MINI. Like the interior shots.

Did HC give you money for the advertising? I hope so!

Nice ride!

Have to say I'm a little jealous of you folks who just stroll on down to the dealership and pick up a MINI. I am really getting sick of the waiting, and waiting, and waiting some more...

Congratulations on a fine choice and for being able to make the deal work.

Make sure you also post photos in the "Is there a mellow yellow owners club" thread, as well as the one for new R56 owners.

Yeah I think i'm gunna take the dealership decal off, Not my sorda thing. I went for a quick drive tonight to test the Xenons and interior lights. Very nice, much brighter than my Saturn I had. All the reviews I read were right on great vehicle.
Question:
I got the sport Package and it says supposed to come with bonnett stripes. There not on the car. I should call them and ask right?

Sport package does technically include the bonnet stripes, but you have the option of "deleting" them when you order one. Not sure if your dealer will give them to you or not. Doesn't hurt to ask though!

Welcome to NAM!! Does he/she have a name yet?? Keep in mind the "MOD BUG" is lurking nearby and if infected by his bite there is no known cure!!
Now get off the computer and go motor around New England and show off your beautiful MINI. Take that ugly dealer ad off first.
