It'll be on lot on Wed I believe, but not ready for pickup. Doing paperwork on Thursday, and then I just have to wait.

I'm actually not that anxious as I was told/expecting end of May. I thought shipping from CA to Hawaii would take at least 10-14 days, but it's more like 4-5 days. That and I work 60-70 hour weeks, so time goes by pretty quick when I'm immersed in my work.

This gorgeous Laser Blue picture made me re-think my color choice too. But when I picked up my Chili Red, I was thrilled. I love both colors!

Thanks for the compliments!
Blue has always been my favorite color. For MINIs I think Indi Blue or Hyper Blue are the best. I also considered BRG because I really like it but I kept going back to the Laser Blue. Like somebody else was saying earlier too, you never know you've made the right decision until you see the real thing, and then you just fall in love with it.

P.S. I'll put all the pics she sent me in my gallery so you can check them out if you want.

Clean being the operative word. Not with all this pollen flying around.

Black is definitely a challenge to keep clean - good thing I enjoy washing my cars frequently?

I didn't think about 'clean' too much when I ordered white wheels. With the New England roads, especially in winter, They're going to be a lot of work!

Try Mother's Wheel and Tire cleaner. It works wonders - while not perfect, I found scrubbing some with a wheel brush makes quick work of cleaning off road grime and brake dust.
