Happy birthday to me!!!

Well, I finally did it! This past Monday was my 51st birthday, and I went and ordered my '09 MCS. I'm SO excited! It's gonna be Chili Red with Black roof and totally loaded out! I've wanted this for so long, I can't believe it's actually going to happen finally! Guess the hardest part now is counting down the weeks until it arrives.

Happy Birthday !

While you are waiting.....If you want to let friends know about your new car purchase, then go to the "Play" area on the MINI website and select the send video EMail of the Mini (& you) on a ski jump. I sent the Video EMail to my kids and my Mom.

Wow, that was fast! I was planning to order my Mini on my birthday in May (my current Saturn ION lease is up in July), thinking that it would take a while to actually receive my car, but it sounds like you didn't have to wait very long for it to ship! Congrats! That's so exciting!

Awesome news.....my car arrived on Thursday evening. I went to see it, but had to go out of town on business, and just got back an hour ago. I'll be there Monday to pick it up! Can't wait.....it looked so cool.

You're not serious about going to work tomorrow are YOU??!! A make believe Sick Day is in order I'd say!!!
Go pick up your MINI and MOTOR like the Day won't END...because you won't ever want it too!!

I ALWAYS take MY Birthday OFF, it's the ONLY present I can give MYSELF!!!
