The wait is finally over. I lost sleep last night thinking about it.
Here's the bummer: I have a research paper due tomorrow and I haven't even started it yet!!! I tried to get some of it done last week while I was in London but to no avail. Can we all say PROCRASTINATION! Oh well, at least after tomorrow, I will have all the time to motor on.

I have to say while I was in London, I saw so many cool cars. I wish the states would realize the practicality of driving smaller cars.

 

Download a reasearch paper....drive the Mini. Good Luck!!!!

Congrats! That's great news! Here's to MINIs and procrastination (when I was in college I was the reigning queen of it)! And also here here to smaller cars. I was next to a huge white Escalade this morning on my way to work.....it makes you wonder why cars have to be SO HUGE.

 

They're making up for a shortcomming somewhere else.

 

I have a confession to make. I used to drive a full size Chevy Blazer. Now that I've converted to the Church of MINI, I have their headlights right in my rear view mirror! Bend, Oregon seems to have a lot of jacked up trucks (rednecks) and the new Hummer H2's (ugly brick with wheels) so I feel pretty small in the world! Here's to feeling small!!

Now I'll go say my 15 Hail MINI's while driving around the block...

 

Congrats skrutzen!

Tell the teacher your MINI ate your homework!!!

 

BTW: While in London last week, I saw a Lamborghini get a parking ticket!!!! That was one of the highlights of the trip only because living in SoCal, too many people think they are above that sort of thing because of the car they drive.

Come on L. they get them to go places you can't in your Mini.

 

My first trip to London back in '89 I actually took a picture of a Mini, who would of thunk that would end up with me getting MINI ME?



200th Post!!! Now only about 900 or so more to catch LMini.

I'm in SoCal. Arcadia to be exact. I'm sorry that your car is still waiting to meet you. Hopefully you'll get your car really soon!

The car drives so well. I can't wait for the break-in period to be over. I have no gripes with the dealer. They did a great job and my salesman was very accomodating. The only thing is that I don't have my Nav CD yet but when I got home this evening, I already had a confirmation email telling me it had been ordered and it was sent Fed Ex 2nd day. I thought that was really cool. I got a t-shirt as well. #137 although, I was not really 137 probably somewhere between 250-270.

Ok...I really have to start that paper!!!!!!!!!

 

Congrats!!!!
BRG what a cooool color.
If your Mini does in fact arrive on time, Please drive it on down to San Diego for the meet on Sat. Time and place are in the regional forums.
Motor On!!!

 

Get in that S and join us for the San Diego Scenic Drive Run! Check out the details in the Southern California Regional Forum here on MCO! Party with your MINI-mates!

A great big Cheers!
