Hey everyone-

Well, the MCSa I ordered back in September will finally be built next week! I was hoping to track it through MINIUSA, but since I'm buying it on the military purchase program over here in Germany, I can't. They're telling me it should be here around the 20th of April. Here's the list of goodies:

Chili Red/White Roof
Chrome Ext & Int
Body Color Dash
Sport Pkg (silver s-lites + no stripes)
Front & Rear Fog Lamps
Auto

I have a lot of plans for this car when I get my hands on it (after the recommended break-in time, of course!). Where I live, there are so many interesting roads to travel. I'm only about an hour from the Nurburgring, and one lap (about 20km long) only costs 15 euro(yes, I've been practicing on GT4!) . Check out this link: http://213.239.207.198/nuerburgring.de/106.html?&L=1

Three of my friends also just bought new cars (two 325is, and an A4). We're planning a weekend trip to Munich this summer. The wife, kids and I are from Ohio. It sounds like there are some cool events planned for this year back there. I wish I didn't have to miss out on them. Too bad I'll miss the Italian Job ride opening at King's Island (I worked there when I was in high school).

I'll put up some pics as soon as it's delivered!

Welcome and good luck! The body color dash will be awesome!

Now that you've had lots of GT4 practice, will you take it to the Nurburgring?

Hiya! Congrats on finally getting a bit closer to having your new motoring machine!!

I'm assuming you are in the miliary and stationed in Germany....so thanks for all you do and we wish you a safe return to the homeland whenever that may be...:smile:

I know what you mean. I've already purchased two red & black kid's booster seats!
