I keep this minimized on my tool bar while working for easy access and a quick "fix" whenever I need it until mine arrives (late May). If this has choppy picture/sound at first play, minimize it as it's downloading and return later to replay. The fun the driver has is infectious! ENJOY

Isn't it odd how the video states 4 airbags when the MCS has 6??
Also it states the CD stereo is extra, but the CD comes standard??

Is 6 airbags and the CD standard only in the USA?

Your recipe reminds me of a Glenn Tilbrook song, Sunday Breakfast Treat... and the way you sign off, "Cheers" - are you a relation?!!!

Fixin' for motorin' - got about a month's wait yet!! UGHHHHHHHHHH

That is the best video that I have ever seen. I like how at the end right before he goes from reverse to forward (right where the video stops) how he says that he prefers it over the Lotus elise.

Sorry, I do not know of this Glenn that you speak of.
The "Cheers" thing is maybe me just getting in touch with my Brit side, brought on Motoring in my MCS
The recipe/sig was just something I conjured up one day.
I'll have to look up that song now to see what you're refering to though.
Cheers,
and good things always comes to those who wait. Hang in there. Your MINI isn't too far away.

Glenn Tilbrook was lead singer of Squeeze. The lyrics of that song I am referring to are recipe for a fav dish of his - very much like what you thought up - BRILLIANT!!!

Thanks for your well wishes - I'm so excited! (overly so, says Hubby) :smile:
