Already sold to a private buyer the economy here in Calgary and Canada in gereral is booming so we don't have simular problems that you guys are going through States side

Mine is CR/B like my sig. It got to the DC on the 25th for the JCW Aero Kit install, but just like everyone's been told, no release til the 14th. Sucks for me because my company relocated me to Vegas, but I ordered my baby in Orlando. So I have to fly back and decide if I want to drive her back or have her shipped. I am pushing the envelope with being away from the office for that many days during week days.

But I feel it is neccessary at this time.

I like the JCW owners club badge. Any chance we can get that for our signatures?

Oh and to get it into your sig click on the link under the main menu for sig-o-matic and you can choose the picture to place in your sig. Once you get to the signature edit page make sure you click on "insert signature picture".

Congrats. Now put it all out of your mind. Its a very long and tiresome wait. For a bunch of us here, we'll have to wait an extra week just for the "Official" unveiling on Monday July 14th.

I am still kind of surprised that MINI has not had a pre-release available for the press to do some drives in. I would love to hear some reviews.

You might want to reconsider on the JCW Alcantara Steering Wheel! The quality of the Alcantara is really bad. I currently have one on my R53 and would not recommend it to anyone. I am going with the leather instead. Just a heads up!
BTW: Planning to meet with Steve at WC, Mini next week!!

I totally agree with you. I guess I'm going on the idea that it is just a better MCS, how can it be bad?
