Welcome Back to my desktop, NAM!

Not much news to report from Lake Wobegone here.... Oh wait...

I put my DEPOSIT down today! One more CR/B "S" will hit the Chicago streets in January '05!

Spec? Glaaaa-aad you asked! I have been looking forward to this post for a good long time:

2005 Cooper S, CR/B
Sunroof (does this option really HAVE to cost so much?)
16" V-spokes (let's see how these work out - I'm keepin' an open mind)
All fog lamps (me toggle bank shall be full)
Body-color interior (luv it)
Black Leatherette (is there anything else?)
MFSW (no-brainer #1)
HK (now my friends will think I'm an audiophile and buy me music for xmas)
Cold Weather Pkg (did i mention Chicago?)
1 pretty darn cool MA (thank you Kevin)

This community has proved very valuable indeed (and fun), over the past year or so, and I continue to appreciate that a ton,

Happy Tatt

Did someone say desktop?

Here's the one I did for MotoringFile



That's a nice spec you have there.

When's you build date if you're expecting to be motoring in January? It's got to be just around the corner.

Congrats

Thanks very much, for the shared enthusiasm and well-wishes... an "inspired build" - now that's a nice turn of phrase.

Dave - Regarding production date, that'd be "Week 50", mid-December? If that holds up then yeah, that counts as "just around the corner" (!!!!!).

I still have much homework to do. I guess it can take a few days before the Owner's Lounge reflects perfectly correct spec information. Presently, my status = "On Order", but OL thinks my production number is for a silver S ...

New Mantra: "trust your MA, trust your MA..."
Reason for New Mantra: He JUST now re-confirmed end of January arrival.

Grinning and bearing it,
Tatt
