Thanks, guys! I had been seriously coveting other people's Minis since 2002, when someone I knew got one, haha. I waited for years to get one myself (felt like forever!), and I've never been happier!

 

So, last week I ordered a SS\W MCS. Standard interior, Sport package with white bonnet stripes and white wheels, and comfort access. It's my second MINI -I'm getting out of a cabrio- and the wait isn't any better or less stressful that the last order five years ago.

I intend to very quickly have the windows tinted, lower the car and add driving lights. The Sport package has xenons, but I am going to add the lights more for aesthetic reasons than anything else.

 

itsasecret, sounds like a great car! Keep us posted and we will need pictures!!!

 

itsasecret - great color choices!

 

Itsa-

I would have to agree with T8r and beedee: GREAT choice! (although I prefer the black ).

 

I have a VIN!!

 

Awww, how sweet! It's almost like the photo from a sonogram!

 

Okay, so how many of my fellow SS owners are going to AMVIV this year?

 

I'm going. Arrive on Friday around three in the afternoon.

 

How about the Dragon?

 

That's too far away for us. About a week after AMVIV, we'll be driving up to the Portland, OR area, so we'll be racking up the miles as it is. Maybe someday we'll get to the Dragon....

 

It's on the water; VDC ETA 3\22!!

 

Where are you? 5 days on the water isn't bad at all!

 

I’m on the East Coast, it’s been on the water for a few days, it shipped via the K-Line and the K-Line is a little slow to update.

 

has anyone created a R57 SS Cabrio badge yet?

 

Just a couple of items:

• I'm here at AMVIV! So if you see a guy wearing a gray "Sparkling Silver Owners' Club" shirt, a green " I (heart) my MINI" shirt, a red "F=MCS" shirt, or a black/gray shirt with "MINI" in white, that just might be me.

• Itsa- Is it here yet?

• Mickey- I looked for one and didn't see it anywhere. You might try posting to this thread and see if someone there can help.

That is all for now. Maybe I'll see some of you here in Vegas!

 

New pics of mine:






I love the color, had the back painted from pure silver to black and I gots new wheels and a few other mods.

 

Proud owner of a SS, approximately 1 month old. Got my black bonnet stripes last Saturday. No pics yet but will take some soon.

 

Warnen-

Very nice pics! I'd have to say that our fabulous color looks great in parking garages/structures.

Minnie-

Can't wait to see the pics. I'm sure it is an incredibly awesome car.

I talked to a fellow SS owner at the In-N-Out meet/greet/eat here at AMVIV. Of course he was highly intelligent and super nice. Yay for us!

 

Thanks for asking. It is on USA soil and the status is "released to the carrier" it's possible I could pick it up as early as tomorrow and I should know later today if I can get it tomorrow, otherwise it will be early next week.

Have fun at AMVIV!

 

Took these today. She'll have a new look by the EOD today (window tinting --yay!). Will post pics with tinted windows soon!

 

The tinting does make a great looking car even better.

Now, to get you into some black aftermarket wheels.....

 

whoa, thats really creepy.....i just got my windows tinted today as well...

2009 MCS Cabrio SS....Black Webspoke wheels...Lets post our tint jobs together!

 

I thought I'd post a couple pics of my car from 2 of the AMVIV runs we did today. I think my car still looks pretty good, even when it is dirty!

 

some nice photos going on here!
Sorry I haven't been catching up on this thread- but all is looking good!
hey MCwill!
