R56 I can't believe it...
LT, She'll get a wash, a clay, a wax, a facial, and a mani/pedi before the big date.
I see Church and LT cuddled together talking outside each night. They understand their time together is drawing to a close and they are making the most of it. The entire situation remains emotional and bittersweet.
As for Deacon's circumcision...it will occur shortly after delivery. He'll be a big boy with a custom exhaust soon enough. We haven't told him of this procedure yet as we don't want him shiveled up and scared to death prior to delivery.

Hummmm, very masculine image being painted around exhaust parts and tender procedures.
Does this mean Deacon is going JCW Stage 1 or the Alta cat-back/turbo back? I would love to know what is planned.Churchill will find a nice home in the resale market I'm sure. You will probably find him all buff and mod at some SD MINI event in the next few months. If he goes to auction, he might wind up in Colorado or AZ enjoying the dry heat, mountain and desert twisties.

Deacon called this morning. 
He's seriously pissed off at being on dry land; apparently having been told that he's on U.S. soil, and that his Dad is nowhere to be found.
Deacon is confused - strange people are washing off his cosmoline, steaming him (he doesn't really like the sauna he says), touching him in his personal places...AND he heard a rumor that he'll be undergoing surgery late this week/early next to have pieces removed and new pieces installed. He asked for general anesthesia and inquired about the recovery time from these procedures.
He's also been informed that there is a Plushie impersonating him, sleeping with his Dad in his bed, and getting the attention that is rightfully his.
Mike's going to have some explaining to do!

I have multiple personalities. I can assure you...no one could reconcile the "professional me" to the "personal/private me".

I think you're going to LOVE the '07. I just got back from MITM too ~3K miles. What a great car! Had a new rear sway H-Sport 25.5 installed-really helped. I had a chance to hear/see the Alta turbo-back. So tempting.
I haven't made it through all the missed pages... so many of them... Is there a pool going on delivery date? Or are you planning a sneak attack and liberating directly from the VDC tonight?

Sorry gang, woks been heck lately.
Well yeah Deacon is at the VDC. It's exciting and sad at the same time just because Church broght so much to my life, it's still hard to think of letting go. As far as liberating from the VDC... I think I'll wait till he's at the dealership and ready. I really thought about bugging a friend to take me up there but too much going on this weekend.
I can wait a couple more weeks, besides... I have a lot still to do on Church in order to get him ready too.

What is this?!?! Mike sounding like a sane person. 
Maybe it's for the best if you relax a little and pick up Deacon when he (and you and Tigs) are ready. If that means waiting 'til after the 1st so all the $ and paperwork is in order, so be it. I know that sounds crazy, but you'll survive. I did. Stacy arrived a few weeks ahead of schedule and sat at the dealer waiting for me.

Once Deacon is at Brecht (should it be before the 1st when $$ and paperwork are in order), we'll call you and arrange for Mike to pick up a key. 
The insanity you've witnessed in this thread and in real life are going to have NOTHING on what Mike becomes when Deacon is in town...and oh sooooo close, but not yet within reach.

Sure, Mike can stay at my place. I don't live there anymore anyway. And since it's like 40 miles from Brecht, he won't be quite as tempted to drop by every hour.

Doubtful, could just be buyer's remorse -- feeling a bit melancholy about saying good bye to Chruch.

Church, Deacon, both religion related. Is this a MINI religion, or are we talking Church of England?
BTW Emily, I hear your **** is in the mail.

Y'all are way too profound for a Friday afternoon!
Sorry, just catching up on the thread and stuff. Getting caught up at work has been the priority for the last 3 days. Then real life crap encroached and had to be dealt with.
Thank God it's the weekend. I need some alcohol. A bottle of Frozen Muddslide mix is definitely in my future.
Enjoy your MINI's this weekend!!

Buying Deacon is the cause of getting rid of Church. Therefore regret over Church and remorse over Deacon are closely tied.

Well, MINI does seem to be a "religion" unto itself, at least for us POOM's.
Cool, looking forward to ditching the stock piece of cr@p.
Hmmmm, people are talking about me... going to make me paranoid
Hummm, good eve. Emily is getting her ****? Robin, did you take a picture for posting or does Emily have that planned?
Tigs, go relax with one of those 'mudslides'? Sounds really something!
Hope you all have a great weekend. Waiting for updates on Deacon has taken a very slow turn due to the VDC which is like MINI's Area 51.
Guess I will take a drive in the morning, we are getting daily afternoon thunderstorms, today was our areas day for rain, nice on the yard.
I saw that the Las Vegas Event has started a thread with a rsvp. number. Anyone planning on the trip, I know a bit early.

Hey Don. Actually, I ended up ordering a Whalen (brushed finish) since I thought it would be a great fit with my brushed aluminum dash trim. My paranoia is kicking in wondering how Robin knew that it was shipped.
MMMmmmm mudslide, sounds yummy, enjoy it (err them) Tigs
I'll have to look into Las Vegas, never been there.
Happy Motoring/Good Weekend Everybody.
