I ordered today!! :)



Yay! I finally have it 'offically' in the system... man, that feels good

I didn't get a production # yet though but I guess that will be something good to wait for

Here are my FINAL specs!

Mini Cooper
Chili Red
Black Roof and Mirrors
Black Bonnet Stripes
Panther Black Leatherette
Anthracite Interior
Sport Seats
Auto AC
MFSW
Rear Fog
15" 5-star rockets

...and a whooooole lotta cool...

Proposed name: Chili Onyx

Production is slated for 1st week of August, so I can take delivery mid-September... Ugh, the wait is going to KILL me, but it's by my own doing, so I guess I can't complain :impatient

Bring on the production number!!! Woohooo!!

Yes, it will, but your MINI sounds absolutely super (nice, but not over-done) so it'll be well worth the wait. I remember the day I placed my order. Clouds parted, birds sang...the works!!! It was just as exciting as the day I took delivery.

Make sure you join the "Not Quite Owner's Club"!!

Aw the wait is great fun....

And tracking your ship across the Atlantic and through its ports of call (mine went to Halifax before coming to New York)....

I kinda miss those days - but it is much nicer to have the MINI here and available, to tell the truth.

Sounds like a killer of a car - and I love that color choice!! Best wishes for many safe miles !!

Bill

Congrats on the order. I ordered mine a month ago. Just finished production on the 8th, and now should be on a boat on the way to the mainland.

The anticipation is strangely enjoyable. I ordered my Mini back in April and right now it is somewhere on the Atlantic ocean. I really like your color choices, almost got that combination myself.

The anticipation is enjoyable. So I was taken aback when they said the "slot" they had available would start production 4 days later. I had a "112" from day one.

It also helps that we have an 03 MCS to wait in. What color did you get?

regards,
Red
