My Mini was completed last Monday and now it is at the port of exit waiting to leave. The ship it is on is not scheduled to leave until the 24th of September. Then it does not get to the port of entry in California until the 15th of October. I just watched the Italian Job again to try and calm me down, but that just got me even more anxious. What have you done to help pass the time and not feel as though you are going to burst if you wait any longer? I know a lot of you know what I am talking about, so hopefully I can get some help. I need a Mini psychiatrist. :smile:

well if ur name suits you right

i would say goo drive your m3 :grin:

good luck

Go to any Mini dealership withing reasonable driving distance and tgest drive as many as you can. :wink:

I am excited because I am getting a MCS. I can afford it, I am just debating if I should get it. I was thinking that maybe a MC would be sufficient for me, but I am sure once I drive my own MCS that I won't want to let it go. I am trying to juggle all of this information and make a well educated decision.

In the mean time I would drive an M3 if I had one. I sold my 95 M3 a few months ago for lots of different reasons. I use the name M3ster because I will have another M3 and that is what people know me by on different boards. Luckily, every once in a while I get to drive my dad's M5. That usually helps calm my nerves.

I am 99% sure I will keep my MCS when I get it, unless an oppourtunity came up to sell it for a few more $$$ than I got it for.

I appreciate your help. I have been at the Mini boards for some time now and have learned a lot. I used to frequent the BMW boards, but since I ordered my Mini I only glance over the BMW boards once a week or so.

I have been to the dealership close to me a few different times and driven an MCS, which has helped. I would go to other dealerships but I am in Utah and the only dealership here is in SLC. I would have to go to Colorado or California to find another dealer.

Thanks again, I appreciate the responses.

your very welcome :smile:

now that i know your story, i can better advice you :smile:

:grin: :grin:

m5>all kinds of minis..DOH :grin:
