How I got my Mini

I would like to thank all the contributors to this forum for the tons of valuable information that I have gleaned over the last few months.
I ordered a 2006 MCS from South Coast Mini in late August. It was BRG/white with bonnet stripes, s-lites, performance run flats, premium package, sport package, leather, and HK sound. The folks at South Coast Mini were a delight, and aside from the anticipation of a long wait, the process was very satisfying.
A couple of days later, I was driving through the parking lot at work, and saw a 2005 MCS with a for sale sign. This one had everything on it that I had ordered except for the leather seats! And it only had 4,000 miles! One other thing... it was Purple Haze. Didn't know if I wanted that color.
Oh well, to make a long story short, I would up buying the 2005 for an embarrassingly low price, and regrettably cancelled the order for the 2006.
I have grown to love the color... and would order it again if they only offered the PH/BEP.

Congrat's my wife like the PH color as well, she was sorry to see it go as an option. Sorry that you have left the BRG crowd, but sounds like you got a great deal on a great Mini. Like to see some pic soon.
Have a good time motoring around, while I wait in agony for mine to get here.

Nice!
Love the white roof and the white stripes on your PH MINI!

Welcome to NAM. By the way, have you checked the Obsessive Compulsive MINI Owners Thread yet? You probably should in order to get you better prepared for ownership.
