I'm feeling antsy (its going to be a looooong 2 months ) so I shall post Grimace's spec:

2006 PH/PH MCS (we already knew that much)
6spd manual
Space Cloth interior (woooohooo!)
Anthracite Trim
Premium Package
Cold Weather Package
Front & Rear fogs
Auto Dimming rearview mirror (LOVE this feature)
Xenons
DCS
LSD
NAV system (!! )

Hmmm.. I think thats about it

And yes, MINI NEO should throw delivery parties! If nothing else, we could always at least meet up for a food & drink kinda thing.

I always thought NAV was useless until I had access to it in the Armada. I use it all the time now. I hate how it moves the speedo over, but ohhh well. I think its worth it.

I definately hate them when they're blinding me on the highway.

I like the look of the 05+ ones though and figured I'd give them a try.

And just what is this term "nav person"? Are we confused--lost--requiring special attention?
Actually, the nice English lady keeps me company while driving at night. I did start to suspect something, however, on returning from the Dragon and driving down the freeway in a metropolitan area-- I went over a large bump-- and she said "please make a u-turn when possible" Maybe she's out for my insurance.

haha! I asked myself the same question then realized I didnt care if I was a "NAV person"

I just moved to a new area and 9 tunes out of 10 when I go somewhere, its to new place that requires directions. NAV is one of those things that is silly until you have it, then once you have it, you can't live without it.

I do HATE the rectangle in the circle thought.

Congrats, Stef!!! I love the PH/PH choice!

You know, you can get a Garmin or TomTom portable NAV and preserve the center speedo. I love my Garmin! And for all the hard-core map-readers, try traveling 6-8 weeks cross-country every spring (as I do) and trying to read tiny little text on maps or needing print-outs from Mapquest to read on the fly. NAV is awesome! Of course, I still carry a US map with me, but I love knowing that with the various options available on the Nav, I can locate the nearest gas station when I am in unfamiliar territory!

I'm 99% sure thats what it is. And I assume that means I'm getting a later production date and will get the car even later.

Grimace doesn't even have a production date yet and I've already been buying him presents.

Just purchased 18" OZ Superlegerras, PH aero side skirts, aero grille, and PH painted trim ...plus theres my current shorty antenna, euro shelf w/ aux input, GBO and Whalen... AND I got a leather shift boot from my brothers for Christmas... which will all be waiting for him upon delivery :impatient
