Welcome! Cool car.

 

Hi We are waiting for our baby to arrive. Where do I register our Mini's name? Thanks

 

Welcome! Well, technically, you don't register the name...but there ARE threads where you can share your MINI's name...AND vanity plate.... Welcome to the MINIverse, and don't forget to wave at other MINIs - whether you're in a MINI or in your "MINI support vehicle!"

 

You can tell us your MINI's name I promise we wont tell anyone.
And by the way, I don't know if you have been told but we must have pictures of your MINI.

 

Ok great thanks. I remember reading somewhere weeks ago, that after getting a vin # you could register the name, and it will appear on any work orders, and would be referred to by name from the dealer. ? Did I dream this?
I want to decide on the name soon!

 

Another newbie here - GREETINGS!

I ordered my '09 MCCS BRG on 8/8/08 and have been waiting for a production number. I am getting aperplexy from anticipation!
This site is the best for MINI owners ( past,present & future)!
I am "totally stoked" - to put it in West Coast venacular ; my brother-in-law rebuilds the original Minis in Costa Mesa. I'll blame him for my affliction!
This is going to be a whole new experience!
Oh one question: Is there life OUTSIDE the MINI?

 

Great color choice!! Um...why do we care if there's life outside the MINI? It's too much fun in THIS world.

 

Hi everyone! I am new Just bought a 02 Mini (not an S). Wasn't allowed to have another performance car. But I am in love with this thing, so when i make more money I will def. get an S!!

 

Hi Guys!

I'm another newbie, although I've been lurking here for quite some time. Time to finally get the toes wet. Anyway, it was last November that I bought my first (ever) car. It's an 03 MC, VR/W. 100k+ miles, but for a starving college student, I wasn't about to do much better. Absolutely love that car though.

More importantly, I was craigslisting a couple months back and found MiniLu. Also an '03 MC, LY/B, in need of a new transmission, and cheap. The sellers had recently bought another car (a volvo ) and didn't want to spend the money to get it fixed. I'd gotten a (relatively) high-paying summer job. I had the money. And I've always wanted to take apart a mini, so I bought her. I'm trying to take out the transmission without removing the engine, but I'm kinda stuck, so my next post will be in the repairs forum.

So that's my story. I'm Looking forward to hangin' around here getting to know you guys.

 

Hi ...
I'm preparing to welcome my new MINI to the family. Here are the "vital statistics":

Oxygen Blue / Black
6-Speed Automatic
Cold Weather Package
Premium Package
Punch Carbon Black Leather Seats
Front / Rear Fog Lamps
Mudflaps
Upper / Lower Invisishield

I ordered through my local dealer on July 30. So now I'm pretty much in wait mode.

I've been keeping myself occupied by checking the car's status in the Owner's Lounge (at least twice a day), calling for a status on 1-866-ASK-MINI (daily), and playing "Count the Mini's" while I've been out and around (yesterday was a great day -- i saw Six of 'em!).

 

Welcome, and congrats on your very wise choice of vehicle. Try some of the stuff on this thread to help "ease" the wait time.... https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=143236

 

I finally received the info I have been looking for on registering our mini's name so that it will appear on all work orders.

I will copy the email I received from "Darlene" at Mini that tells step by step how to to this, for others who may want to register their Mini's name.

"In order to have your Mini's nickname show up when you go in for service, you need to have it entered in the "Owners Network" in the "Owners Lounge."
To add you Mini's name to your account, simply click on Owner's Network" when you are on your "Owners Lounge" account home page.
Once there, you can go to the "My Content" link to create a profile.
You'll just need to fill out your information, including your Mini's nickname. If you already have a profile, you'll need to add your Mini's nickname to your profile using the "Preferences" link."

We are expecting our new "Mini Son" to arrive in port this Thursday. His name is Casper. He is Pepper White w/ Black roof.

 

Hi all,

I just started the waiting game with an 09 LB/B MCS and a number of extras like the premium package and Aero Kit.

The dealer says 7-8 weeks. Not bad I guess to get the car the way I wanted it.

Thanks to all of you that have posted valuable information to help those of us that are new to the Mini Cooper family.

I just found out that our Mini will be in the week 37 production run.

 

Anyone here from the CNY area? If so lets go motoring....

 

I am new to this web site.I am on my second MCS ,the first was a 2002 (purchased new 10/02) Electric Blue/White S that I sold in2006 to make room for my Cool Blue Convertable S with the factory JCW .(and just about everything else!!)I love these cars and have had little trouble with them, they are VERY reliable.I am not driving the JCW that much any more except to work and back and feel as though it is a waste for such a FUN car.I would like to sell it.Does anybody know the best way to do this ? I am in Southern California.

 

Morning.
Ordered my PW/PW/B Clubman on 8/5/2008, Received Production Number on 8/27/2008, San Antonio area. Now, just to ponder the expected delivery time frame so I can time the sell of my Honda....... I just hope it's all worth it, this will be my first "European" car, been buying Japanese as my personal cars, my wife mix Japanese/American.......

 

I would post it in the MINI's For Sale section of the forum.

 

Thank You , I tried to "place an ad",but, it asks me to Log In (which I do) and then after" log in successful" it dumps me! Oh well thanks for the tip

It's about time you got one for yourself, sis. I hope the car works out for you...otherwise I'll have to buy it from you and ship it up to Alaska.

Let us know if you have any questions. Like I've told you before - these forums are an awesome resource, and the people here are great!
