Ordered

Well, we've done it again...
Ordered today a 2008 Mellow Yellow with white roof, base cooper. I still prefer the 2006 and earlier lines and interior, but much prefer the new powerplant, so... she'll be arriving mid to late April. Fingers are crossed for a perfect mini.
Greg

I'm told mid-April. I figure late March/early April at the earliest.

My husband ordered his in Jan. 2004 and it came in early March, about 1 1/2 week sooner than expected.

Nice combo, you will love it. My neighbor has an OB/W and gets some great gas mileage in his MC. My R56 S was his inspiration to get a MINI.

Pictures in a few weeks and your impressions.

All these new minis will probably be paddling across the pond together. Looking forward to its arrival so I don't have to covet my wife's 06 anymore...Greg

I'm sure the car will be wonderful, but I just don't know how you guys live with the non turbo cars.
