Theta, have you heard of any JCW All4s making it to St. Louis Mini yet?
Cheers

Nope. I had the first allocation, and frankly I'd be pretty pissed if there was one that showed up.
I don't know what the issue was with MINI STL, but I ordered in early Nov. and we're still waiting. All the other dealers have delivered, and I'm just sitting here. It just got on a boat, though.
Honestly, until they fix the pop/burble, I'm kind of ambivalent. Can't really go back to serious modding until they get that fixed first.

Yeah the lounge leather was a must have for me...always loved the look, feel and comfort of them...my favorite MINI seat ever. But when they offered the Red trim Championship leather...that was definitely a no brainer. Looks incredible.

I will have waited 3 months when mine arrives, but I'm not sure that's normal.

Wow!
What a tough decision that was. I ended up going with absolute black with a white top. I like the look with tinted windows.

Ah, congrats!
My MINI took 7 weeks but technically 6.5 as she landed at the dealer TODAY but I have to wait until Saturday to get her.
I can't wait to post pics for you all (I got a couple from my MA today but want to wait to post my own... But in my opinion she is beautiful!!)

Thanks! I wish I'd ordered the eyes earlier so they'd be in before Saturday. It just won't be the same without them!
I'll post lots of pictures when I get her... and when her eyes come... and when I get my personalized license plate... LOL
