I just phoned/emailed my order in to Motor City MINI for my first MINI!

Here are the specs on my soon to be new 2008 MINI Cooper S Convertible:

• Sparkling Silver w/ Black Roof
• Chrome Line Exterior, Mirror Caps & Hinges
• Sidewalk Package
• Cold Weather Package
• Rear Fog Lamp
• Limited Slip Differential
• 6-Speed Getrag Manual
• Cockpit Chrono Pack
• Sport Stripes - Black
• Ipod Adapter
• Wind Deflector

I should get the build number tomorrow!

Now, how long do I have to wait???

 

^ Wow -- sounds great. You even got the LSD. Congrats. Hope to see pics from you soon.

 

Sounds nice! I really like that color.

Have you discovered michiganmini.org yet? There's a bunch of us in Michigan that do stuff all the time. Good local source for information...lots of Motor City customers. Check it out!


Edit to add: I see you did find us!

 

Welcome to the madness! There are a lot of post on the first gear thread, you can join up with your fellow owners-to-be as you track the progress of your baby from production number through birth and delivery - it's great fun! Sounds like a wonderful car!

 

Trust me - the wait is tooooo long!

Congrats & welcome!

Wow! We'll be twins except for the stripes! We ordered on 01/24 and just finished production yesterday 02/07. Now as yet unnamed MINI is sitting on the dock of the bay, awaiting a ship.

I'm thinking of the aftermarket windscreen made by Brownflyer.

Congratulations and good luck on the wait. Hopefully it'll go by fast.

 

Welcome - and congratulations on a fine choice...

 

Thanks everyone! I'll definitely post pictures once he/she's delivered (we're still working on a name...).

 

Great choice on the color. You'll love it! Looks like you thought of everything!

 

Congrats again! I'm sure you saw that there's a new dealer opening in GR - that'll be even better for you! They should be open long before you need any service.

 

Nice. Very Nice.
