OK, I was a little slow to post because...

I have been driving around in my new car all weekend!!!

When I went by Saturday to "see" my car before they completed the dealer installed options, my MA surprised me with my car. It is amazing!

Congrats MINI_Widow - shoot us some pics soon. Picking up mine tomorrow and, believe it or not, there is a 0% chance of rain!

Also, got to say that I love Minzila. Pretty close to mine except I did black instead of white and left off the premium pkg. Can't wait to see what mods you do. I assume you're going to autocross this one too?

Thanks. I'm going to try and restrain myself in the mod dept. Aftermarket LTW 17" wheels when the stock RFTs wear out, and perhaps Vishnu (or other) software. The M3 is my auto-x car (BMW dealer sponsorship) for the rest of this season, then sell it and wait for a new 135i in the late spring.

Oooh, shiny! Looks great - love the bonnet and boot stripes! And the white piping on the leather is sharp! Congratulations again.

The sport stripes and upholstery look sweet. Nice looking ride. Check out www.minidriving.com Phil Wicks will be in Oklahoma in October. Mixed reviews, but a good time to get out on the track with several other MINIs.

Week #23 ol' timer over here. My MCS finally made it to my local dealership and guess what? My MA is out for training. :(
Anyhow, I managed to check out my car from the outside and boy, I CAN'T wait to drive it! Here are some snaps of my new ride:

Haha thanks! I guess the extra 2 grand for the JCW aero kit has been the best investment so far!

Woo Hoo!

Just got back from the dealer with my new Little Wonder! I'm so glad it finally arrived. The car rides like a dream. It was a bit of an emotional rollercoaster at the dealer though, as there are a few flaws that I've got to take it back in for - there was a small dent on the left front panel, a puncture mark in the leather on the passenger seat, and a defect in the passenger mirror chrome cap. I was not happy, but they're all fixable/replacable.

I'm still so excited that it's here, it's real, and it's mine. Let the adventures begin! See you on the road!

MINIGolfer1 was kind enough to let me sit in her driver's seat to check out her window tint while she was taking delivery. Thank you and be seeing you at another meeting!
