Awesome -- congrats, and welcome to the family!

That Royal Gray with black is a very cool color combo. You're gonna love it.

Atlantaellis,

Welcome, the wait is tough. You will enjoy. I have had mine a week and oh what fun even without violating the breaking rules.

Thank you all!

Thank you all for the warm reception! It's very comforting to see all the proud, loyal MINI owners and how fanatical you all are about your cars. My nonscientific research of asking any MINI owner I ran into (I stalked some out in parking lots), proved that all owners REALLY love their cars! I'm never going back to BMers, am I?

A Countryman passed me at light this morning and I got EVEN MORE excited. I really thought I'd be calm and cool while I waited, but I was sooo wrong!

How long did you find it took to track your build in the Owner's Lounge from when you recieved your production number? I ordered on 5/31, recieved my PN on 6/4.

I have on on order and it's on a ship in the middle of the North Atlantic. It took about a week to show up on the owners lounge tracking.

Congrats!
