It"s Here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My MA just called to tell me the car just showed up at the lot!!!! Unfortunately, I can't go get it today (6 hr drive round trip) because I have to take my son to a birthday party this afternoon, and the dealership is closed on Sundays!! How the heck am I supposed to sleep??????

The crazy thing is that I ordered my car on Feb. 22 and they expected a delivery of late April. Now it's here and I can't get it until Tues or Wed :(

Will post picks when I get it!!!

Soon to be out of 1st gear!!!

Geee, not anything I did, i'm sure! Like I said, I was told to expect a mid-late April delivery. Ma called today and said "Mr. Davis, I have some very good news..." I couldn't believe it either.....blew me away, and now I cannot wait to go pick it up!!! Hope yours gets here early too, good luck!!!

WOW! That was fast....what luck! You won't be able to sleep, or if you DO fall asleep, you'll dream of motoring, I'm sure. Just pretend to sleep...at least, rest your eyes!

You could have taken him to a differnt kind of birthday party. He would have forgotten about that other party shortly after getting in the MINI

Your first post, from Sept 1st:

Question for those w/JCW kits
I am new to this board and havent ordered my MCS yet. I was wondering if the JCW kit is worth the $5000 extra. With options, I'm looking at $30 grand, and that may be hard to justify for a toy. With the new gearing bringing the regular MCS 0-60 down to 6.5, what can I expect with the kit?

Thanks for any input.

Instead of sheep leaping over fences, it's MINIs rounding the cones!
