Yet Another Hello Thread! (Updated w/ Delivery Photos)

Hello everyone! I recently ordered an MCS which is estimated for delivery on the 4th. Too bad nobody told him it's a holiday here! I will be calling my MA sometime today to try to find out when I might be able to pick Kingsley up.

Kingsley is Astro Black (body color roof) with Redwood Red Lounge Leather, Web Spoke Wheels, Cold Weather Package, and the LSD just in case I decide to autocross. I also just spent over $200 at Detailers Paradise in preparation of his arrival. The OCD is already starting to kick in! Hopefully my dealer won't wash him like I asked. That being said, you will probably be able to find me in the detailing forum once I take delivery.

Also, I would like to say hello to the people attending the Guinness World Record Attempt as I will most likely be there because I only live a few minutes away. Unfortunately, my father's Clubman won't be able to attend because it's still being built.

Thank you and yes, I do have everything planned out . With lots of help from NAM though!

I've been lurking since before I ordered my Mini and have learned a lot here--particularly in the detailing forum. I probably would have ended up driving around a dirty, machine-washed Mini if it wasn't for them.

I also may have ended up with an empty rear fog light switch spot and bumper outlines if I hadn't read about that here. Thanks!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

Last evening I picked my Mini up and decided to photodocument.

My photos. Let me show you them...



^ From left to right: Kingsley, Rith, and I. ^



^ Rith putting on the "Let's Motor" frame. ^



^ Kingsley waiting for me to finish signing paperwork. ^



^ I asked them not to wash him and they took it one step further. Thanks! ^

And a link to the Flickr set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/2333242...7605980995825/

I used Flickr because I couldn't get my gallery here to accept my photos. I tried OS X, Vista, Firefox, and IE. Oh well. :/
