Just Picked Her up on Saturday

Hello Everyone! I just picked up my 08 MCS DS/B on Saturday morning. Ordered 3/2, delivered to dealer 3/29, and picked up 4/5. I was so proud when I went to the dealership and I saw a kid and his father looking at it on the lot, but I wanted them to get away. Hopefully the sun will start shining here on the east coast so I can enjoy "insert name here"'s good looks and phenomenal driving capabilities.

Cheers,

DB

Congrats!! Outstanding color choice!!

I had a similar experience at the dealership when I went to pick mine up. The dealer put mine in the showroom and there was a customer sitting in it when I first saw it. At first I was a bit miffed but then I figured, if he liked it enough to check it out...it's OK by me.

Wow! That's a fast delivery time! I ordered mine DS/B on 3/1 and it's not supposed to reach VDC until 4/18 and then it'll be at least another week or more till I get it.

Waaah! I'm jealous! I want my car!

Ugh! I would be a little upset about someone sitting in MY MINI!!

But then I'd probably saunter up to it and ask them if they liked my new car....

My MA was a bit put out that someone left it unlocked but she quickly let the guy know it was sold!! I could tell he had MINI-envy

I split my time between Long Island and Baltimore (soon to be Annapolis).

I will try to post some pictures as soon as I can get them. With the long drive from NY to Baltimore, the car is very dirty, so I will have to give it a nice cleaning.

I believe the faster shipping times are partially due too your location/dealer location. The VDC is located in North Carolina so it is obviously a quicker shipping time to the east coast then to CA or anywhere in the west...

(Just thought i'd share a little fun fact )

I'm so jealous. Mine is still waiting for transport according to 1-866-ASK-MINI. Have fun and enjoy your new ride!
