Here kitty kitty kitty. Petronius now ordered

Named after a tomcat in a Robert Heinlein novel Petronius the Arbiter has now officially been ordered <g>.

Quick introduction: I'm your basic , calm , composed mailman living in West Virginia.
(Hence the GonePostalWV screen name...)

Ordered from Jay at Cincinnati Mini and am now waiting patiently for it to be built and shipped.

Yeah, right. Patient. Keep telling myself that. I'm calm. Really. Where'd I put that valium...

Here's what I ordered. Hope I list the features right. Color was my hardest decision, of course.

Mini Cooper S - Lightning Blue / White
Cold, Premium , and Sport packages
White turn signals, white alloy wheels, Xenon and rear fogs.
LSD

Interior: Pacific Blue/Black cloth/leather w/Pacific Blue Colorline.
Chrome line interior and Interior Surface Piano Black
Anthracite Headliner
Leather Sport wheel / Multifunction

Should be a Week 12 build, I think.

Oh... and my license plate will read "GonPostl" just to make my supervisors happy .

Congrats on your order - here's hoping that your proposed license plate makes it through DMV!

License plate

As far as the plate goes... went thru without a hitch <g>.
(It's currently on my '91 RX7 Convertible)

When a supervisor first asked me about it... I explained that it took me nearly 15
years to get hired by the Postal Service...and I've happily Gone Postal.

Beats the daylights out of being in retail sales and management....
