Anyway, I'm just glad that I know the date of Day of MINI.

I thought my MINI was gonna have a complex being next to Wolfsheim's and Super Dave's BRG/W

. Glad to see another BRG/B combo. Please post some pix since I can't have mine til the first week of Dec:impatient . Enjoy! I'm so jealous.
What does that mean they finally "let" you post something?

The BRG/B looks super great! I just wished that Day of MINI was a sunny day, not a cloudy, drizzly day. I did get a nice pic of Kensington with the leaves that had fallen. Great contrast I think.

(It took quite a while for my request to join was approved or something, so I could see everything, just couldn't respond for a little while).

I'll have pics posted soon!

Yeah, I picked mine up last night... completely different looking at night than during the day. I would post pictures but it's gray and cloudy here too ... maybe in a little bit it'll clear up.

Thanks for the compliment. I agree with you.

. I'm stationed in Germany, so those are the German plates I have for Kensington. Only 9.5 more months till I'm back in the States.

Be safe. Enjoy that ride! Are you bringing Kensington back with you? We need more BRG/B on this side.

That front shot of the interior brings tears to my eyes.

Oh, you bet I'm bringing him back! I've only had him for a day, and already I know I wouldn't be able to part with him that soon. In fact, my husband is bringing one back, too! (His is oxygen blue with a black roof.) I just added a pic of the His and Hers MINIs.

I hope yours comes soon, edbear!

I knew it would be dark by the time I got home (and it's raining now as well) so I took a quick shot with my phone this morning before leaving. Pardon the quality.

Meet Zonker.

Now that we all should have taken delivery...

Alright, I'm going to re-open this thread and ask how was everyone's experience taking delivery?
My delivery exceeded my expectations...when I finally laid eyes upon the beauty, I was afraid to touch it in disbelief!

What's the highest and lowest mileage for week 43'ers?
I took delivery on 12/8 and now have 184 miles on the clock.

Anyone get any "freebies"?
My MA had a goodies bag loaded with MINI detailing bits like MINI car wash soap, MINI leather cleaner, MINI wheel gel, MINI interior cleaner, and a wool wash mit. Besides the detailing stuff, he also gave me a couple of the nicest key chains I've seen, floor mats, and a full tank of premium. I also received a special gift from a fellow NAM'er. All-in-all, some nice stuff!
