Had my MA told me it would be a 3 week delay at the VDC to get the stripes, I never would have ordered them. I could be driving right now :(. They must have one guy doing all the stripes, and dozens and dozens of cars in line for him

 

Test to see how Maddie look on the sig

 

maddie is beautiful!!

 

Thank you

So I was driving around 65 last night and felt no buffeting or wind. I wonder what the need for a windscreen that so may cherish?

 

so... my MINI would have been ready yesterday... however due to some family decisions... I've gone with the 135i... so "I've abandoned my boy!!"

there's a DS 08 MCS with JCW Kit, Premium pkg, sport pkg, and a few other goodies probably just sitting at the mountain view dealership with no claim...

don't hate me for going with the 135i

 

My MA emailed and said he has the first set of keys and is just waiting for the technician to turn it over for delivery.

yup no doubt it will be gone by this weekend probably, it's so hot here in california.

the MA was cool about the deposit, getting it back by end of week.

 

Maddie looks great DMAC, Congrats!

 

Maddie looks terrific! Happy Motoring!

 

I went for the tire & wheel insurance. It cost $800 and I'm not sure it was worth it. Only time will tell, though with all the potholes in the Chicago area it seemed like the way to go.

 

$649 at Knauz, but we didn't go for it. I did opt for lifetime nitrogen.

 

Ok a few quirks so far. Factory forgot to install the folding mirror switch. I am still trying to figure out if one of my packages should have included lights coming on automatically. Finally.... got the HK Upgrade....supposed to have 8 peakers, I only count 6.
A marvelous means of transportation. I have Pirelli RFT and I have not had noise issues I see so many people talking about.

 

Have we thought about or come up with ID to use so that as we move down the road with our NAM posts, where we will be able to identify one another when our brains forget names?

I had a couple of complications at the dealership. The suicide door would not open. The mini emblem on the back was crooked and worst of all, I found a small dent on the driver side quarterpanel. After being home for only an hour, I returned to the dealer and they fixed the door. The emblem was ordered and the ding will be fixed in a week or so. OH and they forgot to charge and order my checkered roof. So I can order it from them or do it myself. Other than that, the car looks great and drives great. Love it. I have to get use to the electronic throttle. I will post some pictures tomorrow. Now I have to name her.

 

Congratulations Sexy Sorry to hear about the dent and roof :(

 

My MA called me today, and mine is at the dealer getting the tint installed. I'm picking it up tomorrow am at 11:00 . Lot's and lot's of pics to follow tomorrow!

 

C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S!!!!!!! We will be waiting for a name!!!!

 

Happy Days SuperGreg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
