Hi from MO!

After wanting a MINI for years, I finally went for it. My Countryman is at the VDC in GA. I hope to be having a blast in my new ride next week. I'll be sure to wave at all my new fellow MINI drivers!!!

Welcome and Congrats. Post up some pics when you take delivery.

Looks like you have some great combo, " JCW Interior pkg with championship red LL" .

Thanks! I think I'm most excited to see the interior. I know what the outside looks like. I hope the interior's combination looks good.

Hey. I'm another one in MO. Live in St. Louis area, so about 4 hours from Springfield and environs. Picked up my beast about two weeks ago, and have been having a blast driving him (doesn't hurt that the weather has been great on the weekends, so I've run up nearly 8 hours on the open-ometer).

Hi there!!! I remember you from the 2014 support group I'm glad to hear you are still having a blast! I'm still waiting on mine. It was finally released from the VDC on Saturday. I have my fingers crossed for a mid week delivery. It reality, it'll probably be early next week

Wow, that wait is horrible. But at least your baby is on its way. When mine was released from the VDC, it was only a couple of days before my dealer sent me a teaser photo of my beast in the prep bay... the delivery trucks seem like they move pretty quickly.

Crossing my fingers for an expeditious delivery of your baby - the wait will be worth it!

Thanks! I really appreciate any extra fingers crossed I can get. My bumper was scratched so they ordered a whole new bumper for it at the VDC. It's been there since October 3. Just my luck. I'm hoping this part of the wait is extremely short!
