Hi - noob here :)

Just introducing myself - I've been lurking around for a couple of weeks now and thought it about time I jumped in and got my feet wet!

I am waiting for my Mini and it cannot come quick enough. My husband thinks I'm loopy, but I really can't wait for it to get here! It is due to arrive at the dealer on Wednesday..... it's so close I can also feel it

Anyway, thought I'd drop by and say hi and see you around!

Tracey (aka Queenie)

Thanks for the welcome

'Ria' is a pepper white/black MC,
convenience/cold weather package,
english leather sport seats,
multi-function steering wheel
On board computer
heated seats (like my comfort )

I almost went for the red with the Union Jack roof (homage to the show 'Butterflies' - always loved the mini in that), but got talked out of it - next one though.....

Welcome, Tracey/Trace/Queenie... there for a while, you had more names than posts !

Sounds like a good-looking MINI you've ordered ! You can't go wrong with PW. CR would have been even better, but hey, if everyone had one, what kind of fun would that be ?

So, did you order it with bonnet stripes ? What color are the mirror caps ?

Welcome to NAM. When you let your husband motor in your new MINI he will understand and be reformed. That is all iy yook for my wife.
Sounds like you got yourself a great MINI. Keep your mind busy while waiting.

Welcome to NAM. Once your Mini gets here the madness only gets worse.

In the future all your friends will begin to get the glazed over deer-in-the-headlights look as you tell them yet another another AMAZING Mini story or about how you managed to spend 5 hours polishing & waxing the Mini to the perfect shine or about how cute your Mini looked as you photographed it against the sunset

If he does, maybe you'll become another of NAM's two-MINI couples!

Welcome! I just got my new MINI a week ago, and I can tell you it's worth the wait. You will be so happy when it arrives! Meanwhile, keep yourself busy. Order some detailing products. Check your camera batteries. Figure out how you want your locks programmed. Hook up your garden hose so it's ready for the first wash. Wednesday will be here soon!

Congratulations Tracey! Don't let the wait get you down, a week after you are united, you will forget it ever happened. Good luck, and let's see some pics!

Welcome.... and remember you can always add the union Jack later, and start down the expensive and very slippery slope of modding.
