lucky(?) newbie

Some of you are going to hate this, especially those on waiting lists...
I decided two days ago to buy a mini convertible. I called a couple of dealers within a 200 mile radius & found the exact car I wanted - in stock!!!!
2005 MCS convertible, cool blue with navy soft top. Cool blue dash, combo blue leather & orange cloth. Premium & cold weather packages, chrome line exterior / interior, xenon lamps, HK stereo etc... Just about everything except the sport package.
Taking delivery possibly as early as next week, though she will remain under wraps 'till Christmas eve - gift to the wife, you know.
Man, I'm about to get very lucky...
Happy thanksgiving to all.

Thanks for the welcome. Digging the "Live Strong" signature. A cyclist perhaps in addition to a Mini lover?

Oh No! I am getting e-mails notifying me of a reply to my original post! If my wife sees these the gig is up - surprise ruined.

Help please? Can I stop the e-mails?
Thanks

I sent you an e-mail too.

After seeing your message I also edited your profile. You had it selected so that you recieved instant e-mail notifications from any thread you posted into. That's been changed now so that you won't be automatically subscribed if you post to another thread.

Yeah, I raced road bikes collegiately and mountain bike now. :smile: What about yourself? We have a rather loyal cycling group that discusses things in Off Topic. There was a 7 or 8 page thread for the 2004 Tour de France and we already started one for the 2005 edition when the route was announced.

Again, welcome.

Dave

Congrats on finding the car you wanted. Your wife is one lucky lady... I can already see the excitement on her face when you present her with her topless beauty.... I know when I set eyes on mine for the first time, I could hardly stand myself...

Chow!
