I know she looks plain now but they are Pictures fresh from unloading her off the truck, just wait until I get ahold of my Alice. I got the call today and am picking her up tomorrow at 5:30 PM (Can't get off work early like GG but would love to if I could) 
Already have my Carbon XP Tint scheduled to be installed Noon Saturday and a about 1 hour scheduled with a graphic designer about some vinyl roof art!

Awesome and THANK YOU. Supposedly all white is the most popular but not sure where as I've never seen an all white Mini. Looks amazing and love the interior white trim. Like the black rims a lot but still wonder what an all white car with white rims (if Mini even offers those, not sure?) would look like.
Remember more photos later are still loved as much as the first photos and the red bow might be a little over the top but I think they is really cool of the dealership to do to help show they know this is a special Mini that had an owner that missed it before it was even built. Very cool of them.

MINI ****!!!!!
Picked it up today, asked about where to get the rubber mats and my MA smiled and turned behind him and said, "like these?" He gave them to me, and a hat too and two shirts, a patton leather bag, die cast model and coffee mug! Now I have to spend the evening sitting in the car looking at everything and reading the manual.....make have to make a drink to calm me down.

7-10 more days
Ok, so my Mini was on the same ship as GG's and I STILL have not heard back with an ETA for delivery. Sheesh! 
Oh well, at least the opening game of the Sounders season is Saturday, and there are all kinds of player trades happening. That will take my mind off the Mini for a while.

Learned from this thread that there is an app available for download to learn about ones car. Just saying. In case we didn't want to thumb through the MINI Parenting Guide, I mean, the Car Manual. lol. Our MINI was received yesterday. It's at the processing center now. So who knows, maybe a couple more days until we too become "official" owners...

Simply stunning blknblu! I'm getting the same wheels as well as the seats. Love 'em from what I can see. Can't wait to get my girl on the boat and home to Texas! Oh and thanks for the MINI ****, I've been waiting all day for these pics. Super nice!

Terrific news! That's great that your MA gave you a heads up. What port was your MINI dropped off at?
My MA called the trucking company and GG will be delivered tonight after hours. He said I could pick her tomorrow after 1pm. So, I am going to work 1/2 day tomorrow and leave at 1245, head over to the dealership and sweep GG off her feet. I am sure it will be mutual love at first sight!
A little bummed it's not today but it's only one more day --- I THINK I can make it!

Someone spent some $$$ on accessories and they all look great. Seriously considering the blacked out trim for my Mini and I did notice the union jack side trim even before you took the nice pics. Still wondering about the running lights so let us know how well they work too.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for the photos...

Congrats and welcome to the Asylum and the waiting game. The recent flood of Mini **** should help your wait...it did for most of us in this large group that is just starting to graduate from the forum.
