Just ordered my 08 MINI Cooper "S" Cabrio. My dealer only had two slots left to order the 08 before they close down the plant to re-tool for the new 09 style. I think my production will be in early July. I am waiting to hear the details from my MA.
My specs are Dark Silver, Black Bonnet Stripes, Premium, Sport, Cold Weather, Chrono, iPod. My current gas guzzler lease is up in August, so this is a perfect fit for me.
Can't wait to begin the Happy Motoring Era!

 

congrats

 

Congrats! Chrono?

 

Congrats on your cool choice.
And the timing is in sync, what with your lease expiring. Now, here's hoping time doesn't drag for you while waiting.

CROC 411

 

Chrono Package replaces the center speedometer with a gas gauge, oil temp/pressure and coolant temp. Speedo is now next to tach on the steering column

 

Did you buy from Knauz. I bought my MINI there. Great people.

 

Welcome!!!

Be sure to check out www.chicagominiclub.com for some fun events

 

I'm in Round Lake too. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Can also find local events here, https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...play.php?f=292

 

I am also buying a MCS from Knauz. I pick it up next week, I hope. I live in Northbrook, IL (half of the time and the other half of the time I live in Idaho). The MINI will stay in Northbrook.

 

Yes.....so far so good....have a great MA

 

Have the local club hot linked. I live off of Wilson and have only seen one other MINI in the neighborhood. Hopefully by Labor Day, I will be motoring around RL topless.

 

Congrats to both of you DMAC57/Hexnut Knauz guys. Ernesto and I bought our cars there too.
I am in Vernon Hills, He is in Skokie. Hope to meet up with you. You are welcome to check out our club... http://www.chicagominiclub.com/

 

Thanks...I look forward to perhaps getting involved in some "fall" events.

 

Thank you. Is there a contingent of the Chicago MINI Club that drives on the track? I have an addiction to turning money into noise and would be interested in networking with other MINIsts that do track events.

 

Congrats from Waukegan!

I got my MINI from Knauz also. My MA was Laurel and she was great. Have fun motoring around when she gets here!

There are definitely some (2/3/4 that I can think of) members that do track days, (Blackhawk in Beloit, Autobahn in Joliet etc...) myself included. PM me.
