Excellent !! Brings back memories.

I had the urge to make the hour and a half drive the night before and camp out just to make sure I didn't get stuck in traffic or anything. And that was to pick up my Fiance's PW MC. Mine came in 10 days later and had to fight the urge all over again.

Wait until you get within about 5 miles of the dealership... your heart will start racing and you'll feel like you could pick the MINI up (literally).

Cool - I just called in and found mine will be ready Friday - unfortunately I won't be able to pick it up until Monday as we're going out of town. Oh well, what's 3 more days after 8 or 9 weeks....

141 hours to go.... :-)

I agree with ChrisW, you will be busy smartlikestick, but do you really think its going to help with the wait?

I just got the news yesterday too. It could be here between today and Saturday, and I am having a hard time thinking about anything else.

Congrats hd05. I got mine before you though. Got it last night. It sounds like you had a better experience then I did. Here is the mess that I am going though.

117 Hours left to go....

You're right. Waiting does suck no matter what you're doing. Can't think of many things worse to have to wait for....only think I can think of maybe is the 3rd date....

Congrats. I do not know that feeling as I was lucky enough to buy mine right off the dealers lot. Didn't have to wait at all? Actually all three MINI's I've had were purchased right off the dealers lot.
