Ordered Tonight

After only 2 months of planning , testing, weighing , agonizing , suffering , brain racking , hair greying, and second guessing :impatient I ordered Tobi Namedlater a few hours ago . When all was said and done, she came out like this:

MCSC Pepper White
Sport Package
Cold Weather Package
Cruise Control Wheel
Chrome Interior
Arm Rest
LSD
Dash Surface Color
Chrono Pack

Aftermarket yet to come:
Amp/speakers
Clear Bra
Window Tint
Windscreen

I haven't been this excited since my wife was pregnant. Then again, I don't remember getting a production number back then.

I imagine getting her pregnant was exciting too (heh heh...)

That chrono pack---now that's an item I've not heard too many get and I really like the extra info those provide.

Pardon me, Scoopmama, but google Cab Calloway and look for his "Minnie the Moocher" performance...he was THE MAN!

VERRRRYYYY Cool!!! Maybe that's why Laurie and Frye are actors and Calloway was the singer!

Now MINIclo~ Google Hugh Laurie Moocher on YouTube. It's the one I was orig. thinking of! You'll get a kick out of it, even though it's not the same as Cab!!

And if you want to see as well as hear Cab's performance, it's in the movie "The Blues Brothers".

I still have a couple months (not that I'm counting) and it's not a done deal yet, but "Cab" is now the front runner for its name. You just got to love the conversation flow of these forums. Hmmmm. Flo. another possibility....

Dash surface color?

Do you mean the dash is painted the same color as the car? I think that is one of the coolest options Mini offers. I have it in Cool Blue and with the chrome interior it really rocks. You'll love it. Just my $.02 cents.
