Week 23 2008 is the best! And a direct thank you to OWG for his tracking expertise!

Any other Week 23ers going to Minis in the Mountains this week? If so, let's try and connect!

Good news,
Just heard from Mike Syfritt from Aesthetic Creations.
His wife will post the Week 23 Badge as an item to purchase online, like any other item from their website.

He gets back from Minis in the Mountains on Aug 12 and will make them that week. So, I guess we'll all check out http://www.aestheticreations.net/

Pretty soon.......

Yay for everyone!

So... Does anyone wish you had got something that you didn't, or wish you didn't get something that you did?

Me-I'm one satisfied customer. I like it all

Hi all,

I was wondering, do you think week 24+ onwards sees the number of our posts and thinks we must have had so many problems? HAHA

Luckily, most of our posts have been happy, eager posts (most...)

I may have seriously thought more about the sunroof if I knew our next duty station was going to be San Diego. In eight more years we can go home (my home) southwestern Ontario Canada, so thinking ahead we got the cold weather pack, traction control and NO sunroof.

Waiting for "Mystique" on the side of the Mini, and waiting for blue and black leather shifter boot bag, but other than that, very happy

Have been motoring pretty well except for this small issue.

The trim molding that holds the rear brake light in the window is defective.

I sent the dealer pix to order the part so i dont waste an hour drive for them to tell me that they need to order the part.

No biggie except the electrical tape to hold it in place until next week.

The plastic nub wont click into place in the wholes of the rear door frame.

woot we all have our cars.

I am so pleased with my choice, it is everything i want and nothing i don't. I have met a few mini owners at work, but they all park as close as possible, so I am not going to park near them.

Me too!

--well aside from the fog lights that I stupidly forgot but with which the brake light kit will make up for, I'm happy with PeeWee!

Hey Union Jack lovers, I found these:

How cool is that?
Licence plate screw covers, the ultimate in union jack decoration. I bet you have to buy their licence bracket, though.
