I've been enjoying reading all the posts about the GPs, I've been waiting since June for this Monday.... to pick up GP 0696. I've enjoyed my 02 Cooper for over four years and 76k smiles and am ready to add my new baby to the family!

5 miles

Picked her up this afternoon! Only 5 miles on the odo, and I'm ready to go and put some more on! It is really cool to join the elite club of being a multiple Mini family.

we got some good pics, as soon as I figure out how to put them in my gallery I'll be happy to share them. I will be a little slow as you can tell I'm a newbie. Hey GPowner did your GP make it in?

I just got word that my GP arrived at port, and should be ready for delivery in 1 to 1 1/2 weeks--been on order since 8/11--less than 3 months, but it has seemed much longer!

#1636 is at the port in New Jersey now, also....should be here by the end of the week or early next week! This is the toughest waiting period! But, I waited for my 02 for 2 years, so what the heck - the wait is almost over !
Get the mods all lined up for installation and any accessories - tell the dealer to install them before you get your car!

Good pic. No number on the roof? Is this something the dealer applies?

No, Bertone applies the number. Its just that the roof is really bright in the picture so the number doesn't show up. Notice how the whole roof (except the front) looks white rather than silver.

Got it!

Got mine today. Of course, it's started raining today for the first time this year. Will be raining for at least 10 more days straight.

Oh well. Very bad *** car, though.
