Just joined and looking forward to it

Hey all,

Just getting my 1st post out there to say a big hello to all and I am glad to be here. My wife and I got stationed in Stuttgart Germany back in Aug 2005 and she wanted a Mini so we put her order in on 13 Aug 2005:

2006 MCS, JCW, Checkmate Package (SB/S), Navi, HK, Premium Pkg, PDC, Convience Pkg and arm rest.

She finally got it delivered in Nov 2005 ... delay after delay since she was one of the first to order the JCW package...so they said.

Since then, she has added: Aero package, 18" JCW wheels, JCW lighted door sills, front driving lights, rear backup camera (why...she wanted it and I just say )

In 5 months I am retiring from the Air Force after almost 24 years and heading back home to the great USA. Not sure where we will end up but looking forward to meeting some Mini folks.

Now I just need to get the real owner of this great car on this site since I am waiting for my car so be built.

V/r

George

Welcome, I sounds like your wife has a very nice car. Do you have any pictures? I have a PH/S with the U stripe and am curious to see pictures with the driving lights.

Welcome to NAM, George! When you say you have a car on order, are you referring to your own MINI? We have many two- and three-MINI families on NAM. Share your specs!

Thanks for the welcome. I really don't need my own MCS because I mainly drive it when we go anywhere. What I ordered for myself (call it my retirement gift) is an '08 M3.

I feel like I am eating my cake and ice cream at the same time...
