It's almost time to say farewell to L.Mini's Silver Cooper.
 
Hey everyone!!! Meet my new baby...
I ordered today on my lunch break!!

https://pic3.picturetrail.com:80/VOL...9/96445543.jpg

Pepper white/pepper white MCSa, premium package, fogs, anthracite interior, space cloth seats, 16" V-spokes. I dont' have my EDD yet because the computers at MINI of Towson are down today, but after a phone consultation with my partner in crime (I will have loads of help on this project car!! :thumbsup:) I dropped all the information and my deposit with my MA, who is actually one of my friends and the person I ordered my Cooper from in 2002. Ahhh the beauty of a great MINI Motorer/Motoring Advisor relationship. :lol: Hopefully the computers will be back up this afternoon so I can go after work and sign some stuff...if not, Benn will take care of everything for me and I will sign my life away when I get back from California. :grin: :grin:

OMG! I totally forgot what it was like to wait for a MINI!!!!
I am SO excited to do it again!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I just wish their computers were up and running so I would have more of an idea of when I could expect to get the car. The dealership told me that it could possibly be ready by my lease end (which is essentially the beginning of August)...so I'll be keeping my fingers crossed. I'd really like to avoid asking for an extension. :thumbsup:

Pfft, it's right there in black and white (er, black and light gray actually :lol: )!

"I will have to give you a ride when I get it!"

It's gotten to the point where I can breeze through '1337 5p34k' as if it were text in the Wall Street Journal. I think that is actually kinda scary. :eek: :sly: :confused: :lol:

An appropriate answer would look something like this:

Very cool upgrade.
I think you will luv your new MCSa. It's so smooth shifting (I wanna cry!):cry:

Vanwall May 13, 2005 07:57 PM

Great color choice! My choice after BRG, o'course. Way to go! The MCSA owners I know love 'em!


BCNU,
Rob in Dago

Congrats L. From someone who also went from an MC to an MCS, I can tell you, you will love it and never look back.

Krut May 13, 2005 08:48 PM

Holy Crap!
 
I was wondering when you were going to surface! Awesome spec! PepperWhite Rules! But aren't automatics for chicks? Oh yeah.. you're a chick!

TMGRobyn May 13, 2005 09:19 PM

Whoa! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: :thumbsup: Nice choice L! What a nice combo. You'll look great tooling around SB in that! It's the perfect California color! Yay Yay! Lauren's got a new MINI on its way! Yay!:grin::grin::grin::grin::grin:

Samtrak May 13, 2005 10:25 PM

Congratulations Miss Lauren. Welcome to the world of forced induction.

This will be one of the hottest MINIs on the show circuit, mark my words.

Thank you for involving me and i look forward to creating another bitchin twisty-worthy sculpture. Lauren and I will be modding this car together, and I am looking forward to creating a brother (or sister?) for RSR.

You can expect another sick modded MINI to be gracing the pages of NAM.

chrisneal May 13, 2005 10:58 PM

Awesome, L, congrats! :thumbsup: (I think I'm ordering a new Cooper tomorrow!)

YYC May 14, 2005 06:42 AM

All these nice replies and not a single thought for your reliable, long-serving PS/B MC companion!

Max might be looking for a friend! :smile:

I hope your Cooper will be well looked after!

Congratulations on the new addition.

Thanks so much everyone! I'm getting more and more excited every day.
Lots of discussion has been going on as to plans for the new ride. Stay tuned...:smile:

And yes...I will be ISO a new home for my Cooper...it's a great car and has served me well for 3 years. If anyone knows of anyone who might want to purchase my baby, let me know. She's been VERY well taken care of. :thumbsup:

I can't wait to see the two of them next to each other. :cool: So hot.
Seriously though...I'm fortunate to have such a brilliant mind to collaborate with. :smile:
