Hi from newbie in Toronto

Get it on Thurs. Having anxiety attacks as to whether my colour/options etc. are a good choice. It's an MCS, Pepper white/blk on redwood lounge leather, blk stripe,comfort pkg,convenience pkg,sports pkg, limited slip, JCW tuning kit, media connect,blk piano trim. That's a mouthful. I read on one of the posts that driving it helps relieve some of this anxiety. Can't Wait for the cure!

woo! sounds like a doozy of a MINI. You'll love it, and you're lucky you only have to wait until Thursday, instead of like some of us who have had to wait months to even years!

But yeah, I say, go test drive...that'll help

Welcome to the, uh, phenomenon. I might be using that term loosely. Not sure.

You have outstanding taste in cars. Bordering on perfection.

Hey, cool, another Canadian... welcome! Which dealership did you order from?

I just picked mine up a couple days ago. Funny, almost the exact same car, except mine's a non-S with no leather!

Welcome to the MINIverse, and you'll love the cure for your anxiety attack. The PW/B is a cool color combo, one of my friends has it.

Hey Spike - welcome to the club! Looks like you'll get yours before I get mine.

Sounds like a great spec. Be sure to post pics...

+1 welcome greeting from another Canadian. Only had mine two days, but it's a dream to drive...

Lots of Ontario folks here...and a few Albertans. Is there no one west of the Rockies other than me??

Welcome from yet another Canadian!

You are going to LOVE this car! And pepper white with black is great! Although I would guess I am a bit biased I've had mine now for a month and can't get over how much I enjoy it.
