Ordered my first MINI today

Hey everybody. New to the forum here and to the Mini world. I've been wanting one for a few years now, and today I took my first step.

I ordered:
MCS - Pepper White with Black roof and Bonnet stripes

Options:
17" Crown Spoke wheels
Piano Black interior
Armrest
Rear Fog lamps

I'll be sure to post a bunch of pics when it arrives!

Excellent selection; obviously you have good taste! Now comes the tough part...the waiting for delivery...

Hang in there, and welcome!

I don't think there's anything more exciting than ordering your MINI, save maybe picking it up, but by then your nerves are so frayed I'm not sure I'd categorize the feeling as mere "excitement" any more. "Stark-raving goofy" might be a better term for delivery. Anyway, the MINI sounds amazing...have fun w/ mood-swing-fest we affectionately call "the wait". If it weren't totally worth it we'd all suspect of being raving MINI-masochists. You're about to find out wyat I mean.

I have a confession to make......

Today, I called my MA and changed the color of my future MINI! I thought about it all weekend and looked at hundreds of pictures. Finally I decided to go with a "metallic" color that I think suits me better.

I will post many pics when it finally arrives.
