Hi, all. I am a new member from Atlanta, GA. I heard about this site from a guy at Hank Aaron BMW just south of Atlanta, GA. If anyone is looking for a MINI at STICKER PRICE, these are the guys to see. I visited them this past Wednesday (July 3rd) and spoke with a very enthusiastic and knowledgable guy (I believe his name was James or John). I let him know that I wasn't prepared to put down a deposit for an order, but I wanted to know the process and how long the wait was. He explained that they require only a $1,000 deposit to get on the "list" and then once a production number comes up for assignment, I could come in and "spec" my yet-to-be-born baby. From that point, I could check the progress online! NEAT! Anyway, he explained that because they had the showroom ready early and because they have such a good reputation, that they get extra cars sometimes! However, I was there less than two weeks before my last visit and they had about 20 cars; the other day, they had less than 10. They sell a lot! Basically, if you live anywhere near Atlanta, go see the guys at Hank Aaron BMW! I haven't even ordered my MINI yet, but I highly recommend them.

Oh, by the way- in the fashion of other posts I've seen...my new MINI Cooper S (SooperCooper) will be DS/BLK roof w/blk bonnet stripes, driving lights, premium pkg, sport pkg and those awesome BBS wheels!

Thanks,
Tim Allen

Welcome to the site Soopercooper.
I'll have to thank the guys at HA for sending you are way.
The guys down there are good guys. There have been several people here who have made purchases from them. They have a very good rep. here on the site. I think you will be very happy with them.
The color combo sounds nice. I am still decideing between that and the Pure Silver with a black roof. errrrr. Too many decisions! You may also consider the Aero kit as well..... It looks rather sharp IMO. You can take a look in the "Member MINIs" Gallery, there is one Cooper S with the kit (currently on the last page).
Happy Motoring.

Thanks, SW. Glad to be here. Been looking a lot at the galleries, of course...agonizing! HA! The aero kit is definitely cool. I forgot to mention that as one of my options to get. I saw a DS Cooper S at HA Mini with the aero kit and the rally lights and the black bonnet stripes! Man, it was sharp! Glad to see that the guys at HA Mini are getting props on this site.
Motor on,
Tim

Yep - we push MCO all the time when we are down at Hank Aaron - We also like what Mark is doing to this site, so we will always be pushing this site.

We also have 2 Minis on order at Hank Aaron that has just hit US soil last Friday.

Hey Blue Potato (Peter?),
I'm down here in Peachtree City area and I just noticed your site, "R-Speed Mini". NICE! I also noticed you are in Marietta! Cool! I'll probably come visit this week!

Tim - yes, please do. We have tons of chrome for the Mini as well as waiting on all the Moss goodies, etc.

We have a show room and service bay - plus it is a blast to hang out. We'd also love to see your Mini as we are having withdrawls

-Peter/Rspeed
