After 24 hours with my Mini all I can say is it is worth the wait. What a fantastic little car. Everything is very tight and well put together. Ride is better than I remembered (16" Runflats). Crown Mini here in Richmond was very good to deal with; altogether a no-hassel buying experience. Space cloth is very good, although you cannot "slide" on it like leather. The only two things I might improve upon is the lack of an interior boot release, and the tight footwell on the driver's side. The "S" really wants to go fast. I will have problems keeping it low for the break-in period. To those who are waiting, just tighten your belts; it's worth the wait.

 

One more week for me! Your story makes my heart beat faster!
