hmmm don't know if you will feel the same pleasure as us...see teh more you wait the more you get to know MINI..and understand it's inner workings...we here who have waited understand the very fabrc of MINI...
so when we finally get it its like a big pleasurable sigh...(to not say something else)
i liek delaying pleasure it makes the moment that much better...

Here, this will make you all feel better:

Placed a deposit during the first week of August. Finalized the specs during the first week of January. Went into production during week 5 (first week of February). Shipped out the first week of March. Picked up in Seattle April 5th.

Sooo... from deposit to delivery: 8 months.

From final specs to delivery: 13 weeks.

All in all... it was worth the wait!!!

I'm in Portland, OR. Ordered my cooper s at the beginning of May...I HAVE A 4 MONTH LONG WAIT!!!! But it will be worth it. I just returned from San Francisco today, there seem to be a lot more mini's on the road than here in Portland.
