New 06 coming to replace bad 06

Hello everyone,
I'm very excited to say that my new Pepper White S with sport, premium and limited slip will be here in less than 2 months. This is exactly the same car specs as the one that I purchased off a lot in April. That car had some severe paint issues and bubbling in the headliner. After talks with the regional manager for the west coast, Mini of America was cool enough to take the car back and return my money. They were great and I ordered a new (hopefully undamaged Mini) in the beginning of July. The dealer I purchase the original car from was a bit of a nightmare. It was Assael Mini and BMW and I would never buy a car there again. I went to a different dealership to buy the new Mini, South Bay Mini, and they are really great.
I'm so excited to get this car.

North American Motoring is a great website. I've been reading it for a while. Tons of great info. Decided to sign up and say hello.
Cheers!
