So...after fretting about my MINI being at the VDC for sometime, I got a call yesterday that Serenity was not only no longer there, but about to be dropped off by truck at the dealership! Definitely the highlight of my day to hear that.

Pickup is scheduled for Friday. Of course, I can't wait until then to see it, so I dropped by last night and got a peek.

Here is Serenity, fresh off the truck, with some of her wrapping still stuck to her. Taken with my phone...better pics on the weekend. As a bonus, my Detailer's Paradise starter bundle showed up in the mail, along with a bottle of Black Wow I ordered from Show Car Detailing. This week has suddenly taken a turn for the best.



Edit: Ok, figured out how to upload the image.

 

Woohoo... what a great surprise! You're gonna have a heckuva a weekend...

 

Awesome! Serenity looks great!

 

Whoop!
I like the chrome mirrors. Nice touch.

Motor on.

 

DS/B is a great color combo!

btw, how does everyone get the pics into the body of the thread?

 

Thanks everyone. Looking forward to driving her this weekend... a lot.

FugitiveAI, what I did was upload the image to my gallery, and underneath the image is a text box with the url.

Just copy the url, paste it in the post, and put a [img] tag before the url, and a [/img] tag after it. What I am not sure how to do is post the thumbnails...

 

Hi Chris-

I remember when you first started asking general questions about ordering..
What an amazing feeling to see it come to life. Congratulations and hope to see you around sometime.

Mini to be picked on Friday / detailers package already in place= we know what Chris will be doing this weekend!

 

Congrats on your new ride!! You have excellent taste in color selection. Your new schedule will be... Detailing, Driving, Moding. Lots of driving!!

 

Ha...yes, that seems like a long time ago, even though it was, oh just a few weeks ago. Guess the waiting did that.

Likewise, I'll keep my eye out for PACMAN.

Slightly off topic, these Prima products smell good!

 

Great MCS, congrats. That is my favorite color for sure.
I am trying to get a new R56 to replace my 2005 MC, but so far just in the "thinking about it" stage! Enjoy your new ride!

 

funny, I figured out the thumbnails but not the direct image... I was using the old html external image reference code img src rather than just an img tag. Thanks for the help with that! For thumbnails, I just click on 'manage attachments', then select images to upload from my computer (haven't tried to grab them directly from the gallery this way), then save the results, and it automatically adds the thumbnails into the body of the thread.

Wait until you try them on the car... the best I have ever used.
Enjoy the upcoming weekend.

 

Wow that is a nice looking car! Grats on being able to pick it up this weekend. I can't wait to see mine, since I also got the chrome mirrors. They look awesome on your car.

 

Very nice!

 

Beauty!! LOVE that color!!!

 

Congrats on a BEAUTIFUL car. Those chrome accents really POP!

I so want my MINI!!!!

 

MCS looks great, I do love the DS MINIs.

Enjoy and have fun detailing and driving. Great capture photo of your MINI being delivered.

 

Thanks everyone for the kind words. It's going to be difficult to concentrate at work tomorrow! I'll be picking her up sometime late afternoon, and who knows, maybe we won't make it back home for a few hours.

 

Wooottt!! I know somebody that's going to have an AWESOME WEEKEND... Yayy!!!

Donna

 

Super! Does this mean you'll be joining us on the fun drive, 10/13? You'll be needing some break-in miles, after all.

Nice thing about MoTW is they give you a full tank of gas to go play with!

 

Congrats Chris! Hope everything goes smooth for your pickup today!

 

Chris, this is for you since you're picking up your MINI today. It's a tradition..
