Member in waiting....waiting on transport that is!

My 08 MCS Astro Black has been build and is awaiting transport. Any guesstimations on how much longer I will have to wait before I get the call from Mini Nashville that "BlackJack" has arrived? Loaded with everything except NAV and Leather. The break in period should be a cake walk compared to waiting for it to get here.

Just want to say hello as I am new AB Cooper S owner. My wife bought a HC Clubman a few weeks ago, and I never got to drive it. So I bought a Cooper S. We had been on-line under her signature "Hottie Chocolate" for awhile while her HC Clubman was on order, and have learned a great deal. We will post pictures soon.

i love the look of the car clean but my 2008 ab/w is 2 1/2 weeks old and im already getting sick of cleaning it. despite the amazing looks i think my next cooper will be any color but ab. the paint is soft as hell too. i have tons of scratches and i have it garaged. i have never taken it through a car wash either. mystique, wool mit and microfiber for me. soft paint dirt magnets are not popular long term. it is pretty when clean though!!!

Love the name of your car! In keeping with the "KUA" theme, I am naming my AB/W Cooper "Onslow". Should be here in a few weeks...was just "born" today!

Only a select few of us will know where our names originated! (would "Dishy-Vicar" or "Daddy" work better?????)

Blackjack arrived Monday. I love the Astro Black! Here's Blackjack!





Dust is a problem, but I have found a friend in the California Duster!
