No lurker, just in MINI-OCD denial - "if I'm not really signed up as a member, I can just "happen" to check in multiple times a day, it's not really intentional...I'm not really THAT anxious about this car..."

Oh, and my MA (who didn't have the gall to go on vacation with a MINI shipment scheduled to arrive ) said it would probably be Thursday or Friday of next week before I could pick up the car. So - your MA's vacation might not cause a delay after all! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

 

Welcome to NAM. I've waited for 2 months - i can wait for a couple weeks more. The only reason i want an exact date as soon as possible is so i can get a friend to come with me to inspect the car at delivery and make sure i don't overdo it on the way back

 

Me too! But then, the long drive would help make the break-in period shorter! I just hope there won't be too many rock chips from the trip.

 

Picked up by MCS today! FINALLY!!!!

 

Now I need to name him/her!

 

Grats on the pick up, Vic and egan! They look great!!!!!!!!!!!!! That just makes my wait harder!!

 

Great looking MINI. Could you perhaps post a couple of frontal shots with the license plate showing prominently? The license plate drilled in doesn't look so bad

 

Vic, those wheels look great. I think they'd look even better on my ride

 

I'm thinking the same, still debating with how to do the front license.

 

Are you talking about mine? I can post a "full frontal" shot, but it'll have to wait till tomorrow.

I wasn't too concerned with them drilling holes in the bumper since its only on there short-term anyway

 

Yes suh. Thank you!

 

IMO on the stock bumper having the plate mounted in the center actually looks better. It hides that odd line going through it. I still haven't figured out why they designed it that way.

 

I'm picking mine up tomorrow
I got the no holes bracket as well. I just don't like the idea of drilling holes in a brand new car, ack! The Service Manager was very happy with my choice, he hates doing it

 

Where are the rest at? Still on a ship?

375 miles and counting here...

 

Rubbing it in eh mate? Not cool...

 

My body kit got painted 3 weeks early, so I get to pick it up on Friday and install it on Saturday, yay!

 

Mine's Here! Already have 500miles on her--clearly have been out motoring a lot since Friday! I couldn't be happier!

 

I guess it does take a little longer to get to Seatle ehh?

 

My MINI arrived at the dealership this morning . Jarid told me the car would be available by next Thursday but i asked for a Saturday delivery so i won't have to hurry things

 

I got mine today, it is absurdly fun to drive

 

Still waiting for mine.

MA said it'd arrive at dealer today or tomorrow (Friday) and tentative pick up next Friday.

I can't wait!!

Here is mine...

 

Looks great! I love that leather!


I just finished the install on the aero kit on mine:



And added a little flare to the cockpit:

 

The car is incredible fun. I drove out of the dealership at 2pm with 27 miles on the odometer and thanks to the Portland-Seattle commute and then some, the odometer now reads 262 O.o

I just love the way it lights up when i unlock the car. I keep looking outside every 15mins :impatient - i need to get over this obsession
