My Justacooper's replacement!

Just put in an order to replace my lemon 08 MC:

09 DS/W MCS
Cold Weather Package
Navi
Sirius
Xenons
Auto Wipers/Lights
HiFi Upgrade
Auto A/C
Comfort Bluetooth
Smartphone Prep
Bridge Spokes (to be replaced with my SLites)
Anthracite Headliner
Fluid Silver Dash
White Signals

Just barely missed the $30k mark with a no-nonsense build.

Now we wait. Placed the order today for a Dec build, at 112 status right now.

..The wait begins.

(had to share my excitement)

The fluid silver refers to the type/style of the interior trim.

Congrats on your on-order Mini!!

I'm thinking everyone will make it.

I'm sure they have extra production capacity. 600 cars a day they should be able to squeeze you in.

The Lord willing and the creek don't rise you should make it!!
