I found it on the Minis General Forum under Prima Car Products. I bought the Super Bundle because it comes with everything to wash, wax, etc..... your vehicle. I bought it right off the website Detailers Paradise.

Joejoe: That's a good point. It was 91º when I left work, yesterday. Who knows how hot it got to in the heat of the day. This summer's going to be a scorcher.

I'll just have to see what I get for my birthday. Maybe, I'll be able to swing it.

By the by, putting up pics today, or are you waiting until after the tint?

MJB: Yep, I'm getting ansy, too. Good thing I still have housework to occupy me.

Congratulations joe! In other cars with sunroofs they usually have something that covers up the sunroof completely, but the MINIs only have the shade pullover, so it looks like limo tint will be necessary for up there.

The only thing I've done so far is replace the RC antenna with an ALTA 2" stubby. As soon as my license plates come in the No Holes LPB will be installed, no holes in the front bumper for my baby! I also have the Minspeed Rear Fog/Brake light conversion kit that I intend to install in the next few weeks.

And hopefully by the end of the year I'll have springs/coilovers and BBSes -- fancy .

2 days Fig Faun! Sorry to say but the last 1-2 days are the worst in terms of waiting. So close and yet so far!

I can do it. At the very beginning, I prepared myself for mid-May. The fact that I'm getting it in April at all is great to me.

Oh my gosh my MA emailed me today with pictures of my baby all finished. He did a photo inside with the rooster red colorline and checkerboard dash how cool and then one in front of the car showing the checkerboard roof, mirrors and rearview mirror.

I am so pumped one more day of work then I go get my nails redone and get my hair done one of the teachers told me I needed a special outfit to wear, and I also got the checkered flag antenna topper today in the mail.

One more day Fig Faun

Hi All,

My turn for a sleepless night... got the checks from the bank today, and have my pickup appointment 9am tomorrow. The loan processing was about 2 days longer than I expected, so it's a good thing I put delivery off until tomorrow. Most of the day will clear, but we have rain forecast for tomorrow night and Friday... and snow showers Sunday night (groan).

I'll post if I get pics tomorrow. ohboyohboyohboy

^^I'm really excited for you Clubman owners. Around my parts there's not a single one of 'em on the road, and now you're the proud owners . Love the suicide and barn doors, the unique look they have, I'm sure you will be turning heads left and right

And Alto Clef, PW/S with silver stripes WILL look amazing up close and personal, in the flesh!

Don't take pics of it in the snow! It'll be like playing Where's Waldo in whitewash. Lol.

Too excited for you, Alto. Let us know how it goes.

Fig Faun today is our last day without our minis I have to go to the insurance company this morning to pick up cards. We are leaving tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m.

Alto Clef today is your day

I think it is great that we all are getting our minis so close together.

Drew, Joe Joe, and Saki what was the mileage on your minis when you picked them up? I am just curious

It's a Space Shuttle, joe! At what speed does the booster rocket come off the top? It's gorgeous! Congratulations!

MJB: Technically, I'm still driving a MINI right now. I'll just be driving a new one tomorrow. Lol. I hope to the twelve gods it gets better gas mileage, too. Not that the R50 doesn't, but I'll be damned if I paid $3.759/gal. for gas this morning! Good night, nurse!

Fig Faun,

Only test fitted the rack and box last night. I don't like the look of the box, but it sure will help on longer trips with more stuff. We have 3 in our family, so the extra space is great. My wife says she likes the look of the rack. May or may not take off until we need it.

I like the rack, but it does draw the eye initially up to the roof, rather than the car, itself.

Your Mini is looker! VERY nice! I like the rack setup, it's perfect for the Clubbie.

MJB - My MINI had 6 miles on the ODO when I took delivery.

Fig Faun I will be thinking of you today picking up your new mini. I am up early we are heading out as early as we can this morning.

I am asking my MA for a full tank of gas I will let you know if they do or not.

Alto Clef how is your mini?

FYI...Stella came with a full tank of gas and windshield washer fluid. Another thread discussed the lack of washer fluid in a newly delivered car.
Also, I'm on track for over 500 miles on her first tank of gas! AWESOME!

MJB: Good luck with yours, too! I'm excited to see the checkers. I don't think gas is something you have to ask for, though. Lol.

I don't go until this afternoon and then I've got an office party, a friend's dinner soirée, and my husband's bar to go to, so probably no pics until tomorrow.

Mine was full of gas without asking. Really, they just beat me to the question, because I would have asked.

Did anyone get a colapsable box for the boot? My MA said it came with the car, but I haven't heard anyone else discuss it.

Also, in the tool well out back, the foam tool holder has a couple spaces where it looks like something is missing. Anyone know what that may be?
