R60 2012 Countryman on order!
Picked up car, immediately swapped to snow tires, and headed north in a brewing snow storm. The car is un-nerving just how rock-solid it is - and I come from a background of AWD cars!
BUT. The stock wipers have got to go. Iced up fast and hard pretty quickly. Easy fix, but still a bit frustrating on a new car.
Hoping to get the pics uploaded this weekend. I knew I liked the car okay. I just wanted a bigger mini. But dang if it isn't actually a lot of fun, especially with the sport suspension.

My MA confirmed yesterday that our CM is at VDC in Pt. Hueneme and they expect it to be ready for delivery late next week. This last week will be tough...

My CMS is FINALLY on a boat, though I have no idea which one. If I were to guess, I'd guess a K-Line, because she's still not showing up on the WW site.
Our MA hasn't been the best at keeping in contact with us and from what I hear, everyone has different experiences with their MA's.

I called my MA yesterday and he said once it arrives at the dealer he will try his best to get it ready it me (depends on the service dept schedule).
The good thing is that since I am getting the car this month, I can take advantage of their 0.9% financing promotion.
The wait is killing me too!
