Hi, I'm your wife.

I'm a MINI addict too.

What a convenient co-dependent addiction we share!

Now where's our new MINI?!

Mini S Pilot:
Might want to call your Advisor, they can usually get access to more up to date information. I've seen people have a "Scheduled for Production" message even though thier car was complete.

Hi! Add me to Week 29!

This is my 2nd custom built MINI, so I remember the agony of the wait!

I'm trading in my 2005 MCS for a PW MCSa.

Thanks for the welcome!!

I've had some foot issues, so I'm having to get away from the manual. Good excuse to buy a new MINI automatic, right?

Here are all the details on "Dusty":

Pepper White/Black MCSa
4 packages
Lounge Carbon Black leather
English Oak interior surface
Cream White color line
Anthracite headliner
White turn-signals
Web-spoke wheels
Driving lamps
HIFI

That's it!

Penny

Niiiice!! Sounds like a great color combo! Good choice on the packages too! I can't wait to be able to get in the car and start it without having to put a key in it and hit a button... Silly I know but still cool.

Illuminated door sills

My jaw almost hit the floor when the dealer quoted me the installation price of the door sills but they look SO COOL and I just had to have them.

Add me to the list for Week 29!

Put down my deposit since Feb 2007, but I delayed the production purposely because I will be out of town until late August.

I can't wait to pick her up.

Already have a new set of wheels waiting to be put on....and possible coilover soon.

Oh, of course!

I ordered a AstroBlack/AstroBlack Cooper S:

-Premium Package
-LSD
-Red Wood Leather Lounge
- Piano Black trim


Nothing too fancy, its a Canadian Spec car so there's quite a lot thats standard already. (ie. rear fog, xenons)

As for plans for the car.. quite a few, but we'll have to wait and see what Alta, M7 and others have to offer.

Yeah!

Aye, Mike is already dreaming about future yet-to-be-released mods. Our vendors need to get crackin'!

Welcome MX100

Sounds sweet! Black is a pretty color.

I'm keeping my wheels from my R53, They are white, light weight, and after loading up the new one I cant see Tigs letting me buy another set for 3,000.00 LOL
