Your dealer sent you a picture of your car that you can't get until the end of the month?

That's just cruel. Bad dealer! Bad! It's not nice to tease!

Send him a picture of your empty driveway. Maybe have a sad-faced small child staring forlornly at the empty parking spot...

Maybe he'll feel bad and let you take delivery early. Worth a shot...

Good lookin' car! My car sat at the dealer for over a week while they took their time "filling out paperwork."

Is there that small space between the bonnet stripes and the grille on all Coopers? It looks sort of unfinished IMO.

Yes, Thats actually the reason I didn't get those stripes, even though they came free with the sport package.

Here's a pic of mine, which is sitting at the dealer as well until the cash for clunkers program kicks in!

Arg!

Meh! It won't let me upload the pic because I've already posted it in another thread. Anyway, it's an DS / W MCS & I can't wait to drive it!!!

I never noticed that, I wonder why that is. I'm still not really a fan of the angle those stripes sit on the bonnet and the hatch anyways.

I had to do the same thing. I had to only wait about 2 weeks for the bonus check. The next bonus check is going to be some new wheels.

Probably works for a bank.

Congratulations. Your car really gets around. I saw it yesterday taking prime position in the show room of MINI of Mountain View (California).

No, not a banker... happily! Just a hard-working sap who earned a little extra over the past 7 months....

Robin Casady, glad to see my transporter is still working... that Mountain View dealer asked if they could borrow the hottest looking MINI around, and I was able to just beam it over to them... Captain Kirk, eat your heart out!

I hope you waxed it well. There was a man and two kids (probably his sons) standing next to it, and the kids were drooling all over it. Perhaps your transporter will leave the drool behind.
