5 more days and I'll have my MINI. Flying from Seattle, WA to Durham, NC to pick it up and drive it back. Going with a friend, should be a nice vacation.

Getting a used 03 PS/PS MC - CVT, #1, #2, #3, NAV, SS+ and some other stuff. 12.5K miles, sounds like it's in great shape. I'll post some pics when I get it.

As a former Audi guy (01 A4 1.8t, 04 A4 1.8t), it's good to see the MINI has really strong internet community. Looking forward to contributing.

 

OK so nobody else will be there but you gotta run the Dragon on the way home!

 

You will love the Nav. on the way home...

 

Im jelious!!! (i'll be jelious of every MINI owner for the next 9 months till i get mine!)

thats cool! drive carefull and buy a radar detector for the drive home... trust me, they saved my *** so meny times

 

think it'd be worth it to buy a middle tier radar detector? i don't think i can borrow or buy something like a Valentine 1 in time.

 

Damn Son,

That's a heck of a distance to go for a used car. I hope you got a great deal. You can buy them for MSRP here all day long.

Anyhow, enjoy your trip....U must try the Dragon before you go.....It's worth the trip

 

Enjoy your motoring vacation with your new toy.

you could always do what I did last time I had a big road trip... buy a decent radar detector from one of the big box stores near you... take it and use it on the way home... then if it isn't what you want, return it. I saved myself at least one ticket on the way home and justified keeping it because of that... but if you want to get a V1 or something later, just return it. I think some stores have a restocking fee for these types of items, but I got mine at best buy and it was going to be $15 if I remember... which isn't much 'rent'

 

Nice!! I too am coming from an Audi A4. Mine was a 2000 A4 1.8t. Nice cars, but I am definitely looking forward to getting my mini...
