FINALLY! Picked it up today, what a blast! My dealer is approx 35 miles away so on the way home thought I was "going with the flow" and I was really going 90mph! I slowed down to 80 the rest of the way home. Windows are being tinted tomorrow and will have the invisible bra (or whatever its called) installed Wednesday.

A company here in Az called "A cut above auto styling" came to the house and installed it, price was $162 +tax, and that included a tint stripe across the front windshield, life time warranty, I don't recall what the dealer quoted but it was more than that.
Next monday will have the 3M invisible bra put on, not sure of the proper name, price is $458 (5 year warranty) and that is for the hood, mirrors and bumper. The dealer quoted $779 and after I told him what I was paying he said his cost on the above quote was $475 so it shows you how much some of these mark ups are dealer installed options. One last thing I came in with a check for Capital one with a 4.55% interest for 36 months. They asked me if I would finance it with them for the same interest and I asked them what advantage that would be to me? And 5 minutes later they had a loan of 4.50% not a big difference but every little bit helps.

Friends 09 JCW Hardtop in Laser-Blue/white will be delivered Wednesday. Per the dealer it is on the truck coming towards Denver.

It was hung up getting the JCW Aero kit installed at the VDC. I'm almost as excited as he is to get it.

Hey everyone! I got my MINI last Saturday, and there's already 1k miles on it. I took a nice trip up to Napa this weekend with it. Here's some pictures!! Keep up the posting guys! I'd love to see where you guys are taking your cars to "break them in."

This is probably one of my favorite pictures from the album.

MA says the car has been released to the trucking company and is scheduled to arrive at the dealership Friday. I sure hope he's right.

The OL updated this morning to reflect the 8-22-08 delivery time given to me by the MA. Sure hope we're motoring this weekend.

Finally got it! 22 days at the VDC ..... MA says longest wait he's had, oh well it's over now. 35 miles so far and loving it. We might drive up to the Nethercutt auto museum tomorrow now that we're in that car enthusiast mood. Here's a quick pic from the dealer lot today.
