I'm Doing It! I'm Doing It!
 
I'm in the process of getting my very own MINI! :lol:

I even got a Feb slot with March delivery!

Lots of thanks to Cooper4us! Crystal is the best! :thumbsup:

With my vivid imagination, my '93 Saturn has already transformed into the interior of my Mini.......

I cannot wait.
I cannot wait.
I cannot wait.

Heck, if your 93 Saturn looks like you new MINI, then save the $20,000+ and keep your Saturn! :lol:

The only problem is the Navigation in my imaginary Mini interior doesn't work as well as the one I'm getting! :wink:

Wonderful Moneypenny,

But what will James Bond be driving if you get the MC Cabrio?

I couldn't afford the Aston Martin, so I went for the next best English car! :lol:

MGCMAN Jan 31, 2005 11:23 AM

Guess that "00" salary bonus allows him to play with the handbuilt exotics, it's probably for the best that you're going for the secretary's car, at least you don't have to kill for Queen and Country.:wink:

Moneypenny Jan 31, 2005 11:52 AM

Oh, don't get me wrong, If I win the Florida lottery, I'm buying that Aston Martin!

I wonder if the invisibility option is still available....

I'll keep my job too of pining away after James, even with my new found fortune :lol:


Hummmm, I guess that means I'll have to start buying lotto tickets....

BTW, how many stations can you program on the radio?


I'll start making my list :smile:

Ms Moneypenny,
How does 3 x 6 = 18 presets for FM, and 2 x 6 = 12 presets for AM sound?

(answer: they sound pretty darn good)

Holy *#!@ That's 12 more than I have now!!!!! (FM)

What am I going to do!?!?!?!?! :grin:

Best of luck.. You just ordered my dream car. Take good care of it.

Regards, Glenn :smile: :smile: :smile:

There is a nice autostore function that will fill 6 of the slots with the 6 strongest stations. If you save these six slots for road trips you only have to figure out what to do with the other 12 presets.

Don't worry Glenn, I surely will! This is my first ever NEW car. My previous two cars I always had to "settle" for what it came with.

NO MORE! It's my dream car too and life is just too dang short to "settle"!!!!!!
I was worried about the cost factor, but, no I'm gonna get everything I want.

Two years ago, I went to work on a beautiful Sunday morning, walked in the lobby, took about ten steps when a masked man with a gun ran up to me and forced the other manager I was working with and I into the office to empty the safe. The whole ordeal was around 2 hours of pure hell wondering if I would live or die.

After surviving that, I take everyday as if it were my last. I don't take anything for granted anymore, so I'm getting the car I want, with the options I want and pay whatever I have to!!! :smile:

Wow, my '03 Saturn has transformed into the interior of MY MINI too!

Congrats on the new car from a fellow "Saturn to MINI" owner.

Hopefully I won't have to wait too long for my '05 MCS

rsbell Feb 1, 2005 08:21 PM

Congrats! You asked about the radio presets...do you use a MP3 player? You can easily get an auxillary input for that and have endless music, SO GREAT! :razz:

Moneypenny Feb 2, 2005 02:56 PM

I've already started making an MP3 CD for when I pick the car up and drive it back home. (4-5 hour trip)


I was thinking of the aux unit, then I thought XM/Sirius, then I said to myself:

Why not make a couple MP3 cd's, then it's like having Sirius for more than 1/2 the cost and on top of that....It's songs you KNOW you like!!!! :smile:

So that's what I'll be doing. But there are times when I love a good radio station, but unlike a Saturn, I don't have to be choosy when I program a station in!


All times are GMT -7. The time now is 11:29 PM.
