Hi Fellow MINIers

Hi all, thought I'ld drop a post to intro myself from Australia.

Been looking for a new car for about 2 months....... and the hunt went something like this.

Jeep Wrangler Unliminted, Land Rover Freelander, BMW Z4, BMW M3, Audi TT, Audi S3, VW MK5 GTI and finally as it would appear I'll be joining the crew.

Yesterday walked out of a mini showroom with a PO for a Astro Black, white roof MCS with a JCW kit. She's going to be delivered in 2 weeks time, can't wait!!!!

Cheers
D675

Amazing how alluring these little things are. Looks like you considered everything before ordering an awesome-MINI. This little car will make you smile like nothing else, and you've got incredible roads there. Welcome to the group!
(so are you D675 or D765?)

Sounds like someone canceled an order and the dealer offered it.

Your probably right dude. Originally I was going to get a Astro Black with Black roof demo that had more options, visibility pack, comfort entry, punch leather etc etc but not the JCW Kit.

All I wanted was a Black MCS JCW with LSD and sunroof and they had one new in stock, so I took it off their hands.

Can't wait for the new toy to add to the garage!!!! I'll post some pics when I get it.

Cheers
