Soon to be MINI owner!

Well this is my first post and I am new to the MINI scene. Being a big guy I went to a dealership as a joke sat in a MINI and fell in love. I opted for the Countryman for the added space though. I like what I see here on the forum, there is definitely a lot of information and what seems like some very genuinely nice people. I hope to get to know some of you in the future!

Now the waiting game begins for my MINI

On an added note I never knew the Countryman existed until I walked into a dealership! Still have yet to see one out in the wild here...

Welcome to NAM and congrats!
Most people are shocked when they get in a MINI. Best kept secret in the world.
My husband ordered his CM Jan 23rd, so we are approaching delivery we hope. My '06 MCS was totaled the week after he placed his order so I ordered my '11 MCS on 2/4.
Looking forward to hearing what name you choose, my '06 was El Kabong, my '11 will be Mozart (as in GoKart Mozart).

From what I've read here my progress right now has been fast. I'm hoping the rest of the trip goes just as smoothly!
