Finally ordered my Mini

After about 5 months of researching every option and reading everything that I could find about the car, I have finally ordered my Mini. It is expected to take 6 weeks to arrive (Philadelphia area). It will have the following specs:

MCS
6 speed
Chil Red with black roof and mirrors
cold weather package
convenience package
sports package
premium package (everything except sunroof)
LSD
rear fog light
chrome line interior
cloth/leather seats black & Tartan red
Chili Red interior surfaces
Harmon Kardon sound system

dealer installed options: aero grill

mods I intend to install shortly after I get it:

new wheels/tires- Centerline Storm forged wheels with polished finish (13 lbs) and Falken Ziex ZE512 tires

Hella F200 driving lights

Alta CAI

Exhaust tips

IPod adaptor- probably DICE Electronics (but waiting for more info)

Sounds like a great car!! I like your taste . FYI, I was told to expect 6 weeks and it arrived in 4 . Hope your that lucky as well.

Tooks some new picks of my car, I think you will appreciate them:







Now the hard part comes in two phases; (1) Waiting for the car to arrive, and (2) Waiting through the break-in period to hammer it!! ( I just finished break-in lst week.......totally awesome!!
