Placing my order within the month!

So excited to post that I'm placing my order soon. I've wanted a mini for quite a while, but it was hard to rationalize a third car when I telecommute. With the birth of our first child, a third car became more pressing as we have the family SUV, and my husband's play car, a 2005 Lotus Elise.

So, looks like a 2008 MC, BRG/W with checkered sunroof! We're waiting on the tax return check, then off for a down payment we go!

Thanks!

(Had to be somewhat different than hubby's BRG Lotus with black top and racing stripes...) What can I say? We like green!! And white is a wee bit more practical for AZ sunshine. Or so I keep telling myself.


So glad I'm going to be a MINI mom instead of a minivan mom...

Me too! This is our first new car that is mainly for me as a daily driver, I am so excited! I'm going to order a PW/B MC. My husband's play car is a very modded 2004 BRG/W MCS. I now enjoy the family Outback wagon, which we're going to keep as a 3rd vehicle. I telecommute 1/2 the time but the other 1/2 is a 1 hour commute each way, so I will welcome the gas mileage of the MC.
