Hi all, I am almost 59 years old. Just ordered my Pepper White Cooper on 3/27. The OL shows it (the correct car now) "scheduled for production". I noticed that the next step is "awaiting trasport". So, there is no way to know how the production is proceeding? Anyway, I am stoked! It is Pepper White with black top and black bonnet stripes. Driving lights round out what I think should be a great look. Glad to "meet" all of you. It looks like owning a Mini is going to be a lot of fun. This may turn out to be the coolest car I've ever owned. Bill

 

Congrats Bill and welcome.

 

I'm stoked for you as well. You are officially the coolest 59 yr old for using that word.

 

Hi Bill, congrats on your new Mini! Good luck with your new baby and the loooooooong wait .

 

Check out the how to track your mini thread-- and then try not to call 866 ASK MINI every hour. heheh

 

Congrats on your baby! It is a loooooooooooong wait, but it's a fun obsession. And, from what I hear, well worth it!

 

Welcome Bill, you will love it and wonder why you waited so long.

 

Well, I ask myself the same question now. But 4 months ago a Mini wasn't even on the radar for me. I started researching cars with good MPG ratings (thinking along the lines of Honda, Toyota, etc) and the Mini popped up at 37 mpg. "Hmmmm" said I. However, our nearest Mini dealer is about 100 miles away in Winston-Salem, NC. But I also found there is a dealer in Sterling, VA, about 200 miles away but only 4 miles from family members that I visit a few times a year. So, the next visit I slipped over to Mini of Sterling and the rest is history. Gawd, to think now that I could have been driving a Yaris!!

Getting good gas mileage doesn't have to be boring.

Bill

 

I think MINI can use this line on their new Ads

Congrats!! a perfect side kick to a mini is a M8, they are similar too: small quirky and do things you just can't do with something bigger!!

Enjoy! and post a few pictures when it arrives

 

Congratulations! I've had mine for 2 weeks now, and it really is a great car.

Just keep busy by obsessively reading the NAM boards and your wait will be over in no time!
