My wheels have just landed at the dealership, and my MA shot me a pic. Pretty awesome service. It's still got the protective wrap on the paint.
Will pick it up on Wednesday after it's been prepped, the windows have been tinted and they've swapped out the air intake tunnels for red ones.
Glad to finally see it.

Hi everyone! I finally got my Mini and here she is! Mini Cooper S 
The car is pepper white with the Recaro sport seats, 17" conical black wheels, black headlight house, white turn signals, spoiler, manual. Super excited to be taking her out on the road :D

It means that vehicle didn't make that particular ship. Generally, it's because the car either didn't get to the terminal in time or the ship was overbooked. Never fear - it should make the next voyage. Happened to some others in this thread and their car did ultimately make it out later.

Brought mine home late yesterday, but today it's in the shop getting the clear bra put on so haven't had much driving time yet. Sure is interesting noticing all the little differences between the 2013 and my old 2009. Some good, some less so, but overall this is going to be a lot of fun. I've already been blipping the throttle more than necessary just to hear the exhaust note...

I just ordered mine last week. A white countryman with a black top. I was going to get the Mini bonnet stripes and the side and rear as well, all in black, but after talking to the salesman, I left all of them off the final order and will have them do something custom. They have a graphics person in house.
I still want black, and prefer flat, but I've seen some horrible looking flat black stripes on minis and other cars. Looks like someone tried to wax them or something. Anyone have experience with flat black stripes?

I picked up my convertible today. Of course a small monsoon opened up and I was unable to put the top down. Hopefully the weather will cooperate tomorrow so I can take some photos. I'm a first time MINI owner so I will have to get used to the car and feature. So far I love it.
