Countryman All4 on the way!

Man, I told myself I would not track my car this time around.... I ordered 1/3 and have held off checking the Owners Lounge. I caved.... But, my car is much further along than I thought it would be! It is on the ship and will arrive at VDC in NYC on the 9th. Hopefully I can pick up by the 15th-17th!
I use to own a 2004 MCS. BRG/Black roof. LOVED that car. I sold it last year when I moved and got a Honda Fit.... Ugh... Yeah, it is a well built car, but not. fun. at. all.
The Countryman I ordered:
Oxford Green/Black roof.
Manual
All4
Sport package
Sport suspension
Connected/Nav
And I ordered winter tires/wheels from tirerack to help with Vermont winters!

Can't wait!

I got 18 inch Michelin X-Ice Xi2 XL tires and Sport Edition CX Silver wheels. Tirerack doesn't have wheels for the countryman All4 listed yet, but from reports I hear the wheels I ordered will fit the tires and All4 just fine. I will definitely post pictures the day I get the car!

We saw an Ox Green at the dealership today and they are very sexy. Congrats!!!! You showed much more will power than I was able to muster.
I was bugging my MA and checking my status 2 days after I ordered . I
feel very lucky to join you as a couple of the few who somehow get ahead
of schedule.... It's still tough to wait, but takes a little of the edge off. Matthew

Oh, believe me. I wanted to check every 2 seconds, but to protect my sanity I had to put it off as long as possible. When I ordered my first Mini, I was checking every couple hours.

Congradulations!!! I have an All4 here in Texas for the beach. It is manual with no COLD package and I didn't get connected (no Iphone so I didn't see the point). My pictures are in my gallery.

Thumbs up Nice

I can't wait to get your impressions on the Michelin X-Ice as that's the top of my list! (I won't take delivery until April most likely so may try and pick these up at end of season cheap).

Great price and great design Sport Edition wheel...has the similar design split spoke occurring with the oem wheel. There are sooo many more tire options on 18's I found.

The X-Ice are great! That's what I have on my 18's at the moment. Very quiet in the highway but honestly I can't wait to take em off so I can switch to my 19's.

04Mcs-11mcms...nice combination and ditto on the color. I also viewed the
Oxford Green this past weekend. Looks great and so much better than the those panels you get to those from...or at least that's all I had.
This is my 3rd Cooper and I think this has been the worse as far as having no will power to stay off the screen. It's a double edge sword, we're one of the few lucky ones who have the opportunity to experience such a ride!
So as we (CT) gets ready for another foot or so of snow followed by Ice, the Faust has left Halifax and on it's way to NY/NJ Port for off load on the
2nd. Hope the storm doesn't cause to much havoc.
Good Luck!
