Official Mini Owner

Hey everyone,

Today is the big day. I went to my local Mini dealership, and ordered the car! I am so happy right now. I decided to lease the car, and get all the options i want, and maybe once the lease is over I will buy the car. But I still have two years to think about it.

The car is in British Racing Green with a white roof. I got two packages, the sport and cold weather packages, among some other options. I just can't wait for it to arrive!

I am paying approximately 175/month. I'm putting some money upfront to make the payments a little easier.

Congrats on the order....that is a very exciting occasion!!! Don't worry if you get a bit dingy while you wait...it's perfectly normal. In fact, since this may be inevitable anyway you might as well enjoy it and go full bonkers hanging out here and learning to track your car. Great stuff....and a fond memory in retrospect.

Congratulations!

Congratulations MedicMan55. I also went to the dealer about 2 weeks ago and put down my order for a MCS. Mine is going to be Hyper Blue with white roof and bonnet lines. I also added all all the options except the cold weather package (I don't think I will needed where I live ) Can not wait to get my hands on it

I just had to go with the British Racing Green and White roof because it looked amazing and it was getting back to the true Mini roots. I just can't wait until it comes...its just gonna take a while!
