New member here. Just placed my order a couple of weeks ago and found NAM from the Owner's Lounge. The information posted here has been extremely helpful. My expectations have been set as I go through the process. ASK MINI tells me that we 'entered assembly' yesterday. i'll endeavor to persevere.

 

Welcome to the obsession from MAD-Town, WI. Spending time on NAM will help. We are all curious about your configuration, please share, thanks!

 

Welcome! Where are you in the Great State? You must share configuration details and pictures when it arrives!

 

Thank you. Sorry about forgetting to share configuration. This forum thing is new to me and I am learning more about how this works.

I went in with the intention of getting a MCS convertible. But i got the opportunity to test drive a JCW and fell in love with sound & experience. For color I went with the Interchange Yellow because the appearance was so unique & different. Black stripes on the bonnet was a given and my wife suggested adding the JCW aero kit to finish the look (it did not take much convincing).

I'm in north Texas in DFW.

 

Congratulations and welcome to the crazy world of NAM and MINI! Sounds like a nice ride!

Welcome to the forum, hope things go well with the production and delivery of your new MINI, good luck.

 

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I will look up and intend to join the in the fun with the local MINI group.

Though I am new to MINI, I am not new to the former parent company British Motor/British Leyland as I use to own a '72/'73 Blaze Red MGB GT. So no worries about me not sharing my enthusiasm & ackowleding fellow motorists.

 

Welcome from a guy that has several MG's in my past.
