Welcome.

I too ordered Orange with the orange/blue interior (but only a MCC no S). We only got the Sport and Cold packages along with the computer and MFSW. The one good thing is I don't have to wait 13 weeks .. :smile: Mine should be here in about 2 (It's on a boat now).

What color stripes (if you're planning to get them?) I'm having trouble deciding...

Hope your delivery and build go smoothly.

Did you get the H/K upgrade? I hear that that is an issue right now because of a factory fire.

First off, CONGRATS!!!

Second, ITS THE LONGEST WAIT EVER!!! I have about 2-3 more weeks before my new LY MCSC gets in ... and the waiting sucks! But, it is fun tracking, reading, investigating, and having ASK MINI & my production # memorized. :smile:

Yes waiting sucks I remember the days like it was yesterday... Well not really.


Congrats to all you guys for your new MINIs to come. Nothing like the excitement and glow you see in a new parent-to-be's eyes.

BTW I would also like to offer my services for custom graphics if you are in the market for it.

Cheers

i'm skipping the stripes for now. i don't really like the black or white stripes, but maybe i'll find some aftermarket ones later on.

I did a set of Chrome stripes on an orange convertable in AMVIV this year and they came out sweet.

i really like the red and white stripes on the red car with the white top. i think i prefer the stripes like that instead of one on either half of the hood.

Congrats on the Mini. Yours is almost like mine. You got LSD though. I'm jealous!

Congrats on your Mini. For me the excitment of waiting was almost as good as getting it! Enjoy the process!
