Newbie - Finally Get MY MINI this Thursday

Well this is my first post after looking around for a couple months while I wait on my MCS to arrive.
:smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

I have LUSTED for a MINI since I first drove one in October 2002.

I live 250 miles from a dealer and wanted the car then, but would not buy a first year model living that far from the dealer. My wife got her dream vehicle instead. (F-250 crew cab diesel )

She is a country girl, what can I say!!!!!!!

Waiting this long has been painful, but I will soon be rewarded for my patience.

Ordered July 25

Build week 8-29-05,

Order sheet on car

MCS
Chili Red
White roof and mirrors
Bonnet stripes
Premium
Sport
Red Cloth and leather seats
Web spke wheels w/performance run flats
Cockpit chrono

Just wanted to say Hello and tell me what you think!

Minifool,

Welcome to NAM Great color choice

Where are you located?

Ppppsssstttt, hey buddy, over here, a word of advice: don't let the wife take your MINI and leave you with her truck.

Earl

Pppsssstttt!!!!!!

She won't take the MCS, she can drive the Kia Rio that I have suffered with for a while. But I don't think that will happen very often as she likes LARGE VEHICLES so she feels safe. HA HA!!

Hope she doesn't borrow the MINI, get used to the handling and try to drive her truck like it is the MINI.

Well, now that your wife has the F-250, you could probably put your new MINI in the truck bed and drive it to the dealership.

Nice specs!
