I couldnt stay away for long... Driving my 350Z just is not doing it for me. You should not own a car that you dont LOVE to drive. And to be honest- driving Angelina depresses me. So Julie and I ordered a new love for me... now all she needs is a production number and some financing.

I'm back....

MCS with JCW. I bet Production week 45 or later..


What was the price?

 

Julie is going to try and get me in as soon as possible... She will know the production date tomorrow and let me know.

What production week are we on now anyways?
She will be here in the second or third week of November... YEA!

Production Number- 6905605
haha SO stoked!

about 38k... well worth every penny.

hey do any of you know of someone that might light a Nissan 350Z? only 4000 miles and $30,000.... in BEAUTIFUL shape... I have only had her since August 19th....

 

Wow a $38k car for a psychology student. I am envious of your part time employment.

 

Unfortunately all JCW spec minis have been pushed off until week 45 (oct 31-nov 4). hopefully yours will fit right in there and maybe given your previous problems with the mini they can try to push it through for you. I'm thinking a call to miniusa would be in order... it would be a real success story for them to have you come back to a mini even though you had a bunch of problems. I always tell our customer service department that the true test of a company is not whether you have problems, but how you fix them.

 

Congadulations, nice color choice, if you would like to how its gonna look like, check my gallery, everything is the same except the front grill, changed with Aero grill. Love the unicolor body, it is unique, every one goes with white or black, and nowadays silver, which I really don't like.

Good luck...

 

Well I see that you don't do things half way

Glad to see that you are back

 

JCW and a chrome grill?? Who could ask for more!!

 

Autologic- I have an addiction to expensive cars. Ask someone at that went to the Dragon last May about my stereo's head unit

I havent heard anything about the JCW MINIs getting pushed back... So I am on the phone with Classic right now...

Apparently they are going to produce a few before then... Hopefully I can be one of them.... We shall see. Bill (Julie is gone for the day) is checking for me. They are going to get back to me tomorrow... Lame.

We shall see about telling MINI about me coming back. Lets see if they change their wiring harness (from the recalled 05 one...)

ariercetinberk- I had an Feb 05 HB/HB MCS... and you made a great color choice too :smile: and the lack of stripes- very nice :smile:

NoLimit- what is the point of doing things part way? :smile: It is GREAT to be back!

GoKartRide- I have to agree. I didnt get a JCW kit for my last MINI, I cant wait to get one for this one :smile: If you are still in Arlington, we should go motoring!

 

38k for a factory hardtop? I didn't even know that was possible! Wow. I just want to know if it's really twice as fun as my car.

 

How on earth could you forget the rear Fog Light? or light up JCW door sills?

 

I have no doubt you have expensive taste. Who doesn't? Problem is most people cannot afford thier taste.

 

Welcome back -- I'm glad you changed your mind and decided to give the MINI another chance.

Besides, NAM just wasn't the same without thefuturequeenofnebraska in residence!

 

oh it is EASY to do more than 38k for a hardtop. come out and we can motor and you can decide for yourself :smile:

and there IS a rear fog light :smile: its under performance for some reason...
and I am not a big fan of the lighted door sills... They seem like too much lol

who said I can afford this? haha

glad to be back friends. I missed you all. :smile:

 

Nice, Queen... other than the chrome bits, the wheels and the different upholstery, we'll be in very similar MCS territory... such a shame you had to move away from the DC area to Texas!

Umm... you must be mistaken. There are light-up "Cooper S" door sills, and there are JCW door sills, but there are NO official "light-up JCW door sills", at least to my knowledge... or else I probably would have gotten them!
Actually, with all the JCW bits available, 38K is VERY easy to achieve... and still leaves room for more. Twice as fun? That's very subjective... but the JCW just feels so butter smooth!

 

You go, Tori!!! I love your specs!! I agree that your story is a very interesting one. Driving a 350Z for less than two months and pining away for another MINI is classic (pun intended)! So good to have you back, sweetie! We missed you!

Congrats.........you already know you'll love it when it gets here...

Look everywhere! It's gotta be worth it the effort. NAM's "Show me your wheels" is pretty good, but despite its length not definitive. I can't remember them, but several folks here posted links to non-sponsor wheel sites that feature other quality brands. Didn't like the 350Z huh? Interesting. Best wishes.

 

Nice meeting you at the meeting yesterday . . . I caught about half the specs during dinner conversation . . . should be OUTSTANDING! I'll bet sombody on campus will buy your Z, It's quite nice looking. I'm betting on delivery of the new car in time for the Christmas party.

 

I cant wait for it to get here! Congrats and maybe soon there will be another HB to motor along with you

 

I LOVE the specs on that car.....MAJOR CONGRATS


I am a "leather" person but everything else is how I would order. I'll look to see it in May at the Dragon.

$38K ..... you only live once...... if not now, when?

Uncle John,...... I love the white w purple stripes

 

Tori,

Your new MINI sounds freaking awesome!

My wife says "Poo Poo on those who are jealous!"

See you at the Dragon!

Thanks, I had a light blue roof and stripes for about 18 months done quite nicely by Cooper Flags. Got tired of it and have tried red and now purple bonnet stripes. May keep these for a while, may try orange . . .

 

He's still around, he came to one of our East of El Paso kustard get togethers once...Haven't seen him since
