UPDATE: I'm tired of waiting to do this - here's what I'm getting!!
 

After months and months of agonizing waiting, I will finally be putting in my MINI order next Saturday!!! I'll be heading to Checkered Flag MINI in Virginia Beach to order this:

MCSa
Hyper Blue/White
White Sport Stripes
Premium Package
Sport Package
- White S-Lites w/ all-seasons
Space Gray Cloth
Hyper Blue interior surface
H/K stereo

I'm pumped!!!

Many thanks to everybody here for advice, input, etc. I've added and deleted options so many times it's not funny, but this is the final configuration!

Congrats :thumbsup: You won't be disapointed with the Hyper Blue/white combo. Check out my gallery.

Checkered Flag is a great dealer, you will be pleased with them. Just ordered our fourth MINI through them.:thumbsup:

Nice!
 

Sounds like a sweet setup!

I was just there on a work trip and stopped in to soak up the MINI love......
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH......Best wishes with your ride!


:nod: :nod: :nod:

What, no LSD? :-0

If it was somehow available on an automatic, I'd think about it :wink:

The pics of your car epitomize why I love the HB/W combo so much. How can you not love that?!? :grin: And the white wheels really set it off.

DOH!:o
Missed the little "a" next to the MCS.
Great specs, now you'll just have to endure the killer wait.:impatient

You sure you want the Space Gray Cloth??

:lol: :lol: Just kidding! :lol:

Congrats man!:thumbsup: Now begins the looooongggg wait! (Not that I check the OS for my order status every day or anything....noooo, not me.:roll: :nod: )

You're going to regret not getting ... Just kidding. Looks like you have built a great car. Now run see your MA before you change your mind.

Trust me, it's been a looooong wait up until now! So I don't know if that will make the order-to-delivery wait easier or harder!!:lol:

ash, be sure and let us know when yours comes in (as if that wasn't going to happen anyway). I look forward to meeting you and checking out your ride at a future RCM event!

Good....glad you decided to pull the trigger. Sounds like it'll be a great car!!:thumbsup:

Looks like an outstanding package! I bought my Hyper Blue off the lot with the interior HB surface. I think if I'd ordered, though, I would've passed on that. Not my preference.

MIB went through at least 30 different configurations between the time we decided to order and actually ordered. :thumbsup: . I think I have built over 300 on the configurator since it came available. I still play with it today even after owning MIB for 6+months!

congrats on your order...

I am sure many of us has built and rebuilt their cars on miniusa.com...

You know you have the right car when you find that you build the same car a dozen times without even thinking...

oops! Posted this in the wrong thread. lol.

Rethink the automatic issue:

1. It's a MINI
2. It's an S
3. It needs an LSD
4. A manual is alot more fun.

Bingo! :razz: Not to mention it is also $1,300...

Congrats on your order!:thumbsup:

:thumbsup: Nice specs! My only comment is you may really want to consider adding the cold package...those heated seats are fantastic in winter, or on long road trips! Even though I live in Los Angeles, I got that and it keeps my back limber on long trips....even with the a/c blasting! :o:nod::wink::grin:

The order went in today, with the specs outlined above!!! Major props to Jason Reidy and Checkered Flag for making it fun and being just as enthusiastic as I am (And for trying hard to get me into one today - Jason had specced one of their inventory orders with what he thought I would be getting, based on some things we had talked about before. So close!). Now the real wait begins!! It's murder already :lol:

Don't sell the 6 speed auto steptronic short! Nice package - Congrats! :)

Ditto:
Before SPUD, I would never have ordered heated seats (wimp option). I bought the car used and got the heated seats. Won't ever order a car without heated seats in the future.

Signed,
Newbie Wimp.

Educate me on the automatic transmission. I thought it was a continuously variable speed trans (belt driven cones) and not a 6 speed.:confused:
