Twenny, twenny, twenny four hours to gooooo...

I NEED to be sedated!!!!!

Yes my fellow mini owners, in 24 hours I will be the proud new owner of a Pepper White Mini! The paperwork is done, the car is here, the time is nigh! Oh, I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait, woo hoo!!!!!!!

Btw, it is my Wife's new car, but I don't think she'll ever be as excited as I am right now!

Don from Hassel Mini called me today to confirm my appointment. Now, he and I had a sit down on Thursday, and he offered to sell me the Simoniz, the Dent warranty, and an alarm. I told him I'd think about it. I went online, did my homework, and quite honestly, couldn't find a good reason to purchase any of them.

Well, when he called today, he asked about them again. I said no thank you, and that was it. He didn't try to pressure me at all! I am amazed by how well this process has been. And I'm very happy about the entire sale. As long as tomorrow goes as smoothly as the rest of the sale, I'm going to be one happy motoring fool......

How Exciting!!!!!! You won't be sleeping to much tonight.....just sayin'. Have a blast (and yes, forget the added stuff)!

p.s. - I have an OEM alarm and I love it, but you could probably do better if ya have a mind to.

Americonium,
That's good news.
Option 1: a couple of valiums ought to do it.
Option 2: Get tied down. In bed of course.
Option 3: Do a 5000 piece puzzle (you'll need to work like crazy unless you get some help) and if that is too easy then do it upside down- no not you hang upside down , piece together the puzzle with the image upside down from where you sit.

Have you had any children yet? If so, how did you handle that?

24 hours is really quick. Go to a multiplex theatre and see all the movies they have got, back to back. That ought to tire you out until tomorrow.

Don't forget to take the day off once you get your MINI. It's a holiday once that happens. OK, you can call in sick. I can write you a work slip (wellness day clause).

So, let me guess: You're actually frozen in a catatonic state of joy aren't you?

Let's just say that I woke up this morning smiling.....I think it's permanent

And yes, I know I was only going about 30 miles per hour, but it's a super-blast to drive!
