Just introducing myself

Hi MINI (and Mini) lovers! I just ordered my first MINI today, and can't wait for it to get here! My dealer said he could get it in 6 weeks or less? Is this even possible? Everywhere I've ever seen people are waiting between 8-14 weeks to get theirs delivered. Did I just luck out?

oh, btw, my MINI (yet to be named) is a 2008 MCSa laser blue/black roof/bonnet stripes, premium, convenience.

Congrats. Welcome to the mass hysteria. Of course our hysteria comes in smaller sizes. :P

Thanks! I wasn't sure I'd like driving one because I've only ever driven Toyota 4Runners (I've had 3!!), but I test drove one early February and fell in love! I'm so excited about ordering it, but I know I'm going to HATE waiting!

Welcome aboard! We'll all be here waiting with you, for the arrival of your new motoring machine. It won't be too long now...

Ugh! I'm a very impatient person, but I just had to have laser blue with a black roof and black bonnet stripes (and no dealer around the south west had that!) so I was basically forced... I just hope the same thing doesn't happen to my MINI as did with my DELL laptop (said they'd ship it in a week and it ended up taking 3 months...they did give me 2 free printers though..)

If it makes you feel any better, ours came on the EXACT day we were told it would... It was approximately 8 weeks total time.

Thanks so much! And congrats on your MINI! Now that I've ordered mine, MINIs seem to be stalking me on my way to work, and around town. I feel pretty pathetic now that everyone else is having fun driving theirs!
