Rachel,

Sharp car! Do you think you will keep the name "Alice?"

Oh, adn I love the Converse, too!

 

Rachel, nice MINI.


According to OL, Delivery is 10/31/06 Only a few more days.

 

Rachel,

Great looking car, thank for sharing pics.

Happy Motoring

 

Picked up our new MINI yesterday, late. It's beautiful and drives like a dream. We got the automatic, and the gas mileage so far (we drove it about 60 miles last night) was fabulous, and unexpected (on the freeway it was getting, at one point, close to 40mpg!). We were in such a rush that I just snapped a couple of pics (our car is the same color as Rachael's).

 

nav. sweet.

 

40mpg, also sweet

 

nice...congrats!

hopefully i only have a couple more days to wait.:impatient

 

Just got off the phone with the dealer and my car is in!

Just gotta wait a little more cuz they're installing the sport link bike rack, alarm system, and aux input.:impatient

 

my dealer also just emailed and said Grover is here! what a surprise! pics to come!

 

Congrats mini_dreams and cdiaz, I know you've been waiting a very long time.

You'll be pleasantly rewarded I assure you.

namvet66: remember to breathe your's is next!

 

Thanks. I think I just overdosed on impatience right into an emotional coma. I feel nothing.

 

Looking good, Rachel. Car's not bad either! Love the color. I will hopefully get my JCW GP soooooon! If i remember right, it was born Sept. 22.

 

JCW GP *drools....* I saw one driving around the other day... i don't think it gets any more bad@ss than that!! Really looking foward to your pics

 

yeah... i dunno about 'alice...' It sounded good at the time, but after seeing the car, it doesn't seem right. I'm sure the right one will come to me.

btw, i took my little sister for a ride yesterday, and she said 'geez dude, your spedometer is huge! It should be on like a clocktower or something!'

Cracked me up ..

I'm so excited for all of you picking up today! How's about we follow my example and post pictures in a timely manner?

Rach

 

Pics will be forthcoming. I am having a clear bra installed on the car, so it may be Nov 11 or so before I GET IT!

Rachel, your car colors look very similar to the GP. Cool!

Mark

 

PS. Rock on!

 

Miniwuv,

Love the color and great news you're getting 40 mpg.

Thanks for sharing Pics and congrats on a great looking car.

Hope to have mine home no later than 10/31.

Happy Motoring

 

okay, apparently Grover needed a little more rest after his long journey so I didn't pick him up today (that and the service department is swamped). but I will tomorrow. it's rainy here today, so perhaps tomorrow will be more moonroof friendly.

I did say hello and sat in him briefly, eyeing that chrome blingage, and gave his gear shift a 1-2. then I let him go back to sleep.

I forgot to take a picture close up, so I took this spy shot later (not great, but just a tease). look how nice he is, 3rd in line, waiting his turn and all with his truck mates... just like school children. they're not sure what that BMW is doing at the front of the line.



I promise that tomorrow I will post more pics than you can rev a supercharger at.
-------
namvet... hopefully the truck turned south and is bringing your Mini home!

 

I love grover! Look at him waiting so patiently, what a good MINI!

So guess what I found out about the HK... the head unit is not so supercool... you can't see the time on the songs and as far as i know, you can't see the track names on mp3's. I think all this will be solved once I get an ipod adapter hooked in. I think I will get the iPod holder that goes on the side of the tach.. so you can see right there what track is playing.. not sure which adapter to get yet.

This car is so much fun... funny thing is.. I never even test drove one, so yesterday was my first time ever even driving a mini! When we went to look at them I had my fiance test drive it since I hadn't driven stick in a while and didn't want to make an *** of myself.

me go fast.

 

Rachael, i will post pictures (when i get mine) faster than a
paparazzi with a shot of madona and her newly adopted child.

Mini Dreams nice spy shot, so cute!

Keep on keep'n on week 38 peep's!

 

mini_dreams,

I am so happy for you and all the folks who have gotten their cars this week.

Grover looks like he is ready to come home to some TLC after such a along trip.

I also hope that the truck came south, time will tell.

Waiting on some close up pics.

Happy Motoring.

 

That is funny Rachael, I have a few friends that have them (minis) but i hadn't driven one either and after i ordered it my girlfriend said, "shouldn't you take it for a test drive?", so i did and it was great, but I probably wouldn't have had she not said anything.... More recently my friend let me take his JCW for a spin, it had after market light wheels and sticky tires and boy was that fun.... hope everyone is having a great day.

 

thanks for the kind words everyone! I may not sleep tonight, but that's okay... I've got some work to get done so that I can motor freely tomorrow.

rachael - i'm going to try the Aux Input first and then maybe add the OEM iPod adapter later.... i do like that you can control the iPod from the MFSW, though. Apparently the Denison DICE unit displays track names on the head unit but may be a bit more complicated to install.

I can't believe you and PSB never test drove one! that's so funny. I test drove several and I know how fun it is, so it must be a blast for you both.

 

I got the AUX port, and plugged my iPod Nano in and it played great through the radio. I use a MicroFlex from xtrememac.com, so can see the iPod's screen just fine without too much trouble. See: http://www.xtrememac.com/chargers/microflex_car.php
It works with first gen ipod Nanos, not second gen. Sounds great!! Temps in the 90's here to day, so sunroof has been open. You can (sort of) see the MicroFlex in this photo.

 

I hope for the dealership to see my car either tomorrow, Monday at the latest! Hope to be driving it by the week of Nov. 6.
