Hi All,
Ordered my Pepper White Cooper S Hardtop on 31st May 2013. 'Melvin' is now sitting in Georgia at the processing center. Can't wait for his arrival in Texas and am being totally impatient. Looking at all the posts it seems I'm destined for some super fun driving.

 

Enjoy that S Hardtop!

We expect photos after you take delivery!

 

Will do !

Any advice (or direction to posts) on what to look for when inspecting before delivery would be greatly appreciated.

 

Love the pepper white!! can't wait to see pictures!

 

It's the best isn't it. Wasn't really a white car fan up until now. Got the roof and mirrors in body color too. Don't like this waiting business at all ! I will post pics as soon as I can. My MA says around 24th which is way too long for my patience level.

 

Welcome to NAM and congrats on your new MINI. Super fun driving? You bet, fantastically super fun to drive. We'll be looking forward to those pics when delivery occurs.

 

Congrats and Welcome

 

Me too ! I will be going from an F-250 4x4 to a MINI. Some adjustment to say the least. Dreaming of twisty turns and getting to work after 32 miles of Houston traffic happy. Can't wait.

 

You won't be disappointed.

 

Welcome to NAM.

Things to check on delivery-

You can do a search as it has been discussed before.
http://www.streetdirectory.com/trave..._delivery.html
http://www.consumerreports.org/conte...ion_table.html

Anything cosmetic is easy to spot, inside and out.
Check the tires and wheels for any flaws.
Check for any damage or finish flaws in paint, use good daylight or you will not be able to see as well.
Make sure everything works.
Make sure you get all your ordered options and addons.
Take your time. Don't take delivery if you are short on time.

 

Thank you very much.

 

Good news, my car is on a truck and will be at the dealership tomorrow.

 

Don't forget the pics.

 

Congrats sir. All important stuff has been said above.

 

That really is a great color for the MINI.
Enjoy the driving. I moved from a bigger car to a mini as well. This car has me smiling all the time, it's just fun to drive and fun to see other mini's on the road.

 

I'm hoping for big smiles too! Got mixed messages today between Owners Lounge, ASK MINI and my MA so am a little (OK, a lot) grumpy about when delivery will actually take place now. Hubby told me to chill out so for once in my life am taking his advice. Want to garage the F250 ASAP but it is beyond my control. Dreaming of twisty turns ; - )

 

Congrats on the new mini post pics when you get it

 

So, I'm still waiting. It was released to a carrier on Monday and put on a truck Tuesday. Today I'm told the car will arrive at the dealer tomorrow and then they want a day to prep before releasing it. This part is the worst of all. I'm guessing I won't see it until next week as my MA isn't as proactive or as knowledgable as I would have expected.

 

Picked up my MINI Cooper S today.

 

Nice congrats an enjoy her

 

Nice Mini Most of the delivery stuff is out of the MA's control. Did he/she explain how to operate and set your car up for you? If so I hope you give your MA a 100% survey. Anything else is a fail. Happy Motoring

 

Congrats! It looks like your wait is over. Happy motoring.
