Can't stop obsessing!! (and don't even have it yet)

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has done this and from reading the forum I'm sure A LOT of you are in the same boat, but here is my story.

I put a deposit on the Countryman after a few days of obsessing like crazy I call the dealer and have them order me stripes, JCW aero kit, JCW caps/vents and JCW exhaust. I've already ordered (and got) my badge, stubby antenna, Plasti-Dip and the black strip-tape kit for the window chrome strip. Friday can't come soon enough!

It's kind of crazy. I've always been a Jeep guy and have done this with the couple Jeeps I've had before but NEVER thought there would ever be a car that I would have just as much fun obsessing over and ordering stuff and really customizing it the way I want. I'm already looking forward to changing strip colors, working on other cosmetic changes as well as some engine enhancement mods as well.

Anyway, thanks for a great community and can't wait to see what comes down the line for the Countryman!!

I'm in the same boat and I have 5 weeks (at least) to go! I might need to block this site until August.

It is hard to beat the character of a MINI and the community here is awesome! My wait was less than 2 weeks...I can't imagine anything longer than that Hopefully Friday arrives quickly for you. Enjoy!

Oh, and hit me up if you ever decide to sell any of your JCW bits
