I have ordered a cooper s in pepper white with black roof and stripes, and the english panther leather, sport package, LSD, chrono pack, H.K. stereo, chromeline interior, driving lights, blah blah blah!

I am so excited! It will be a long wait, November delivery, and i have sold my car so it will be two months+ biking and walking.... i think it will make the car all that much sweeter!

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend.

PSB

 

Welcome to NAM. The car sounds great...but I am a little partial to pepper white.

 

Oo english panther eh?

yeah that is the one thing I can't swing on my car that I would think would be worth it.

 

Welcome to the MINI culture. I think you'll enjoy your stay, and hopefully it will be a long one.

 

Welcome to NAM, psb! Your PW/B sounds great! Hang out here and the time will fly by!

 

Lies! All Lies! I got both of my MINIs from the lot, one used and the other new and the hours I had to wait at work to go to the dealer after they called to tell me that we were aproved and we could pick it up today were the longest ever. impatient:impatient I couldnt imagine waiting weeks or even months.

But seriously welcome to NAM and Good color! Have you joined the Peerage of the Pepper White

 

thanks for all of the replies, and i am trying to wait with grace, but those nice autumn/late summer days just call out to me to go for a drive... it will be nice when the day arrives...

 

yeh it is alot of money, but i figured two months plus without a car payment and a minimal innsurance bill, just enough to keep the policy open 'till the new car gets here will help cover the costs.... oh yes and i skipped the sun roof as the added weight up high wont be missed and that also helps with the seats.

now it is a waiting game

 

PSB, I just placed the call to my dealer in OKC on Thursday to order my JCW AB/W Seven, ChLine, w/Sunroof & webspokes. I am still waiting on my production number but I should get a call or email within the next day or 2.

After much debate on whether I could affort to get the JCW, I finally decided that I have waited a long time to order this car, and am finally rewarding myself with a Mini after having achieved some personal goals this year including training for a half marathon, and raising over 3K for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Team In Training.

So I am with you, the wait is on....:impatient

 

psb...
Well, there's no doubt in my mind that you made the correct color choice! But panther leather? WOW! That is going to be one hell of a car! Congratulations!

Chuck

 

chuck,

yeah, the leather was not even going to happen, then i said after hearing from so many people that leather was a must have what the h@ll why not just go all the way!

I am thrilled with the features i chose as i am sure you all are when you go back to "build your own" and review your saved choices, doesnt everybody do that?!

I am trying to savor the wait, as things this good are rare and the path to my mini is just another great journey.


oh i almost forgot, thanks for the congrats!

 

Nice job raising all that for a great reason/cause! I am jealouse of the JCW package, and i hope you enjoy it! Perhaps we will be in the same production week and can get through this with confidence knowing a great driving expierience is around the corner!

 

Awesome color... you're gonna love it!
May I make one suggestion... if you can still change your order... consider adding the piano black(I believe it's called "seven") interior trim. I have seen it and it would look terrific in a pepper white/ black Cooper.

 

<~super jealous... congrats

 

welcome to NAM! and congrats on your order, nice color choice!

 

Welcome to the community! I had a hard time choosing between pepper white and the cool blue (the blue won) - I should have my mini by the end of October (fingers crossed - it is in production now .

 

Welcome to NAM! I can't tell you how many times I sniffed the brochure until I got my baby. It has a lovely new car smell.

 

I may just do that, thanks for the suggestion, it is a geat looking color (I saw it at the dealer) and the circles are cool also!

 

I put together a PW/B with piano dash and the red/black seats with the chromeline on MINIUSA... and maybe it's just me, but it looked amazing!

 

Welcome to the club and great color choice btw!

 

Ya the Pepper White is a great color...I was very close to choosing that for myself but went with Astro Black as it suites me much better...I just love the classic look of Black and White. So I guess I won't be joining the Pepper White Peerage, but I am sure there are plenty of AB clubs out there that will have me.

I finally have my production number back from my dealer and was really excited to login to the OL for the first time! Now I guess we must wait for the production date.

Stay Tuned, more to come in the saga of "Waiting for our Production Week Assignments"

 

I second this... I tested a Pepper White on Friday and it had the Piano Black dash and it looked amazing. If the car had had the premium package (i want the sunroof and multifunction steering wheel) I would have bought it right then.

Congrats on your order. Good luck with the waiting! It is hard!
