Wow, Beauregard, you just put us on page 25 with 600 posts so far, hahaha!
And I could care less how old or how young anyone is on here, I just wanted to know just to know really. I love the age range that the Mini attracts!!!
I just read through an older PW thread and the deliveries are so exciting!!! I can't wait for all of us to start taking delivery of our Minis. I can't wait to see the first few, I have a feeling the excitement in this thread will be off the charts! :-)

Turcicus - Major thumbs up! I'll be you'll feel like you've got nitro in you veins!
tethernaut - Looks like your baby has been dubbed "Nightcrawler"? Should crishchun add this to the OFFICIAL PW27SG spreadsheet?
crishchun - Is there a place for another data column - Age? Birthdays should be in there too so we can send MINI e-cards and stuff. For the record, I'm 43. But 4+3=7 so...ummm...errr...so I can't be in the 27/PW27SG club.
But I'll make you a badge!

And yes, I am so squeely piggie, excited, can wait until I drive my MINI, I can't stand it! And it is SWEEEEEEET!!!!

I have a question, how old is everyone in PW27SG? I am 23, and appear to be the youngest member of Tarheel Minis, but I know there have to be some others in my age range.

I am 56 and still young enough to take that Mini for a real ride!! I have a 27 yr old daughter. My first car was a 1968 Rally Sport Camaro, British Racing Green with a white racing stripe around the front and down the sides. Awesome! Now I an getting a Hyper Blue Mini made in England with white bonnet stripes. Sounds like history maybe repeating itself to a degree. Man I can't wait to get my hands on my Mini.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Our first picture! You should send your MA this link and let him/her see how important this is to all of us, lol. Are you picking it up tomorrow? As much as we will all be dying to see more pics and hear all about it, I think you should spend a few hours motoring first! :-)

That darn front license plate
Hey all,
Well, you've got me going on NOT drilling my front bumper...more or less.
This is what I would like - Aero kit front plate bracket - the screws mount from under vs the front. It looks like this: http://gbmini.net/gallery/GBMINImods/RallyLights
But I can't find WHERE it get one. Have checked MossMINI.com and MINIMania.com.
Any ideas?

Boy, you July delivery guys are just SOOOO LUCKY!!! Most/all of the Auto Banner people will be waiting about another MONTH (at least I will). Arrggggh!
Glad I can experience the GOOD STUFF through all of you. I'm sure the wait will be well worth it.

Whoo hoo for Beauregard and Chimera!!
:envy: :envy: envy:
Red Scooter, I am within painful driving distance of Port Hueneme. I am gonna contact my MA and see if it makes sense to drive up and get a Firecracker preview.

If it were me, esp. today, I would SO be there.
I'm thinking of driving to the dealership just to get a "fix" on a real MINI to tie me over until...arrrggh...about a month from now.

Then mine should definitely be at my dealership since I am much closer! Man, my MA blows. I have never received an 'out of the blue' email or phone call pertaining to anything on my order. The only times I hear from him is when he replies to questions/comments I ask/send him.
I'll call him in a few.
So, Wednesday is still set as your pickup day?
