richs10- HAVE FUN MOTORING!!!!!!! When you take a break for a second- filling up on gas (after a good 400 miles or stopping just to admire the MINI from the outside, take pictures! Congrats on your baby!

 

Congratulations - Photo's by 5?

 

Soooooooooooooo JEALOUS!!!!

I'm beginning to get the feeling that I'm the youngest person in this thread for some reason.....

 

FYI, I just called my MA and will be purchasing from out of state but I asked how long I will be at the dealership once it is available for pickup. We are getting as much paperwork done beforehand but I was told that it takes about 10 minutes to sign the paperwork and about 45 to have them go over everything on the car with us. Not bad at all- I was expecting it to be an all afternoon thing... then again this is my first dealership experience.

FYI StarryEyed, age, not that it matters, as we're all MINI lovers! I am 25.

 

And I'm the oldest at 58 years of age.

By the way, did you pick Skye as your name ? There's an Isle of Skye in Scotland.

Speak up, my hearing aid is low on batt power...

 

Another great thing about MINI's is they take 10 pounds and 10 years off

 

OMG DanceForMINI, I just realized that we have a lot in common! From our age, to the 1st dealership, up to the choice and color of our MINIs!

 

I'm 21....

I didn't pick a name for sure yet. I'm waiting until I see her to give her a name... but I'm pretty sure Skye will be it. We'll see.

 

I could use the 10lbs off.. but not the 10 years ha ha ha

 

Oh yeah... and the order, production, and birth dates too! Don't tell me next that you're a LEO.

 

DanceForMini- I see you're from Michigan too! What port did you come into? Did you order from Motor City Mini (nvm i see it says ohio in your sig)?

 

Whats wrong with being a LEO?

 

Tweecky- I noticed that awhile ago too (you stole my year -1982) in the the peerage to pepper white And at one point we had the same number of posts, creepy

StarryEyed- My car will be coming into NY. I actually ordered from Classic Mini in Ohio, it's a 3 hour drive compared to the 1 for me to get to Motor City but I was really put-off by the communication I had with them just to set up the test drive.... decided I'd rather drive the extra two hours and be happy with the service. So far, so great BUT I have also heard people say they had great service, my brother in laws parents ordered from MCM and have been happy, they got their car a couple months ago.

 

I don't really "do" the sign thing and I'm not a Leo, I'm a Libra. But MINIspud, there is nothing wrong with Leos. Born leaders right?

 

So do you think I could claim my MINI was born on my Birthday? I was told it was born 6/5.. but it could have been 6/6 in England.... then I would SHARE a Bday with my baby....

 

I'm about 30+ mins from MCM so that's where I went lol... I had bad service from one person so I found a new sales guy. Now I'm happy lol. I'm from the Redford area... No minis that i know of around me.. I see them driving but never seen one in anyone's driveway lol.

 

Just for the sake of saying it, I'd say it as on your b-day!

 

Spidrz06- Isn't it generally better to have your "own day".... that way you can have two days in a row of celebrating every year

 

good point!!!

 

oh thought you meant LEO = Law Enforcement Officer

 

nuttin' wrong with LEO's!! happen to married to one

 

Thanks, people!

No pics by 5 pm, since I have to "speed" into DC for a birthday party - not mine (but it is my MINI's delivery birthday!).

I will try to get some shots up by tomorrow!

Rich

 

Oooh MINIspud.. are you that other kind of LEO?

 

Ooops haha.. sorry.. assumed I was the only one born that year in the Peerage. Oh ok, 'cause if you were a Leo, it would've gotten creepier..

 

But basically our cars are twins.... paternal of course because yours has sprot stripes and mine is sans....
