Finally!

Hey all,

I've been reading awhile and I just got word today that I can pick up my MINI on Friday morning. I'm so excited. It's been great reading here and I've picked up a lot of information and a great way to pass the time while I've been waiting. I'll post some pictures as soon as I can.

I'll be picking up my '05 MCS

Purple Haze and black with black stripes
Premium
Sport
Cold Weather Packages
Navigation system
Aux. input

Once I have it, I'm sure I'll have more questions and looking forward to posting them here.

Al

Welcome to NAM. Hope find what you need and get all your questions answered! Once you get your MINI make sure you post some pictures of your new MINI! And the Navigation System/On-Board Computer is great. I love mine! HaHa

Well Good Luck With Your New MINI!

Happy Motoring!

I have it! Sad thing is I had to go right back to work. So it's sitting out in the lot, but I can stare at it when I walk by the window. I love the Nav, and the British accent. Can't wait to motor more this weekend. I'll post some pics later tonight.

So the 05 Nav has a brit accent? Awesome! Friend's o3 w/CD Nav sounds just like the BMW, fairly robotic flat female voice and I'm thrilled the DVD has the british option instead Hope it sounds like my TrafficPro, he is so genteel

Congrats on your car, fun weekend ahead eh? Unless you spend it all waxing the new addition

I so wish I could have kept it clean and sparkly, but we have a snow storm comming and it's al dirty already and I'm sure it'll be worse by the time I get home. But the first decent day that I can clean it up... probably Sunday when the snow stops I'll be getting it all sparkly again.


Thanks for the well wishes. And I did get some pictures of it before we drove off from the dealer. I don't have the cable here to download them, but I'll make sure to get the pictures posted as soon as I get home.

This me all day

Al

those pictures are making me rethink my desire to get LY/B

it does look very nice, and to reference another thread, in on way looks like a chick car.

very nice.

He is finally free!

Thank God you got grapeape away from that hideous 5 series, he might have been permently dammaged by that uglieness! How BMW could design something so beautiful as the MINI and then do somethig so hideous as the 5 series is beyond reason and rational thought!

Remember what your mom said. "Keep making faces like that and your face will freeze that way permanently!"

Or in your case any time you see/drive grapeape!
