My christmas suprise....

Along with some very nice non-MINI stuff, I got the alta intake, autometer boost & oil pressure gauges, and an Aero grill. This stuff was all on my list, and I had not even ordered the car yet...the plan was to order in the new year.

However, taped to the Aero Grill (my last present) was my production sheet! My wife had ordered my MINI right after thanksgiving, and i should take delivery next week! Complete Black Ops on her part, she worked directly with our MA to make sure that it was ordered exactly how I wanted it.

Based on the production sheet, the car should land in NY on 12/29. Thankfully, we fly out to San Diego for a little New Years Vacation, my mind *should* be off of the MINI while it makes it's trek down to Ottos. Should be ready for me sometime next week!!!!

Yes, my wife rocks, and no, her sister is already married!
