My new baby has arrived!!!

If anybody wants to see a Cool Blue Cabrio in person, mine was delivered to Sterling MINI on Saturday. It's the only Cool Blue so far. If all goes well, she'll be on her way to So Cal on Thursday - Yippee!!! I'm SO excited I can't stand it...:smile:

Just wanted to share the good news.......

Chow!

Donna/Mike,
Too Cool. Congrats!
Please post pictures in good daylight so we can really see the nice blue and please do write a MINI review of how you like your cabrio. You can compare it to your hardtop experience.
There are several potential cabrio owners that are waiting to hear about the new models. :smile:

I sat in a Cool Blue Cabrio last week. I must say that it is one sharp looking car. I think it is my new favorite color. It kinda changes depending on the light. May you have many enjoyable miles under the sun!!

minitothemax - Thanks! I can't WAIT to actually see the color in person. I've yet to see one but I'm sure we made the right choice for us....:smile: We had a total blast test driving one a few weeks ago. Now Mike wants one too!!!

Clo - I think we've decided on "Ariel". It has that "beachy" theme ya know - from the Little Mermaid movie - LOL!!! Mr. Money Bags is going to take care of getting us some pixs this weekend. He is actually taking delivery of the car for us as if it were his. Giving it the good once over, etc. etc. We received all the paperwork today via FedEx so I guess it's official - Yayyy!!!:smile: :smile: :smile:

We are awaiting the final call from the shipper for possible/probable pick up next Wednesday or Thursday which is almost 2 weeks before we originally thought we would have her......Dang I'm SO excited now nobody can stand to be around me - hehehehehe So when did you say you wanted us to motor up your way???

Chow!

Saw the car yesterday sitting on the lot. If you stand at the door to the dealership (with your back to the dealership) and look to your left and it's sitting in the row of cars facing the building. The sticker has been pulled from the window, but we didn't see a sold tag on the car either. Consequently there were people drooling on this windows when we were there! Honestly!

We did get some spy shots from John DaCrema with stickers/sold sign etc. - then we asked Shafaly to pull all the stickers off for safe keeping in all of our paperwork. :smile:

As soon as we have a definite ship date (hopefully Wednesday ) - Shafaly has promised to get all the drool off - LOL!! Thanks for the update...

Chow!
