Hi Chris, Hey congrats on the MINI order. You will love your MINI. The MCO site is a good place to hang out until your MINI arrives.

Also congrats on this being YOUR first car to buy by yourself.

I've had my MINI about three months now, and it's the most fun car I have ever owned. Your MINI will be here before you know it. :smile:

Very good. I think that the blue is called Indi blue- at least that is what it says on my car in the engine compartment.

Let us know how you like your MINI once it arrives! Can't wait!

Congrats on ordering your MINI and welcome to MCO! You can help pass the time while you wait by ordering some "absolutely necessary" accessories for your new baby.

Oh yeah, excellent color choice if I might add!

2nds, 3rds, and 4ths to the above. Definitely help yourself while waiting by purusing accessories. Glovebox organizer, console insert, zaino products ready to apply when it comes...those were things that helped me through the wait. I even put the GBO (the one Alan Tate makes; see threads) on my dining room table and considered I at least had part of my Mini with me already.

Yup, welcome and you will enjoy, learn, and meet nice people on this site.

Hi 2perCooper, welcome to MCO! Hanging out here definitely is a good way to keep your sanity (...or lose it gracefully) while you're waiting. You'll want to study up on initial MINI acquisitions and detailing supplies for your baby, so have fun!!!!!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone :smile: :smile:

The wait is a bit hard at times, but i just picked up one of those micro r/c cars (mini cooper of course) from Toys R Us and i have been playing with it constantly

Also, i go to the Mini dealership every two weeks, just to ease the pain by driving around the demo car.

Next step, buy the "essential" accessories.

Thanks again for the welcome!

-Chris
