I'd like to start off by saying... Welcome.

Just got financing approved today and will hopefully will have finalized my order by this weekend. Still deciding on exterior color and rims. I test drove one the other day for about 10 minutes and had a grin on my face the rest of the day.

 

Awesome. Keep us posted on what you end up ordering.

BTW, the grin doesn't wear off.

 

Good luck with your order, color is always a tough call to make, but it is important so take your time. Wheels?

 

Great news!

 

I second that!

Every time see her, the whole time I'm driving her, and whenever I walk away from her, and turn for another look, I'm grinning ear-to-ear!!!

I love it!

 

I'm pretty stuck on the web spoke 17" in black. I want black hood stripes, debating between red, white, or green exterior.... I really wish they had the heliport roof for the sunroof.

I've been driving a mini(van) since 05, so it'll be nice to get back to driving something a bit more sporting. Once the break-in period is over I'm sure I'll have a big grin every time I exit the autobahn.

 

Red exterior with black hood stripes are killer

Please don't get GREEN, unless it's the VW's Sricocco Green like this one.

But it does start to hurt after a while.

 

but it is one of those pleasurable pains that you get used to until the next mod comes along and the grin gets even bigger and hurts a little more.

 

Make sure you get that key fob that allows you to change colors each time you get into your car to drive it. Because one color is not enough, this is the only way to satisfy your color cravings....

 

How about a Mini that talks to you?

Driver :"Hello Camden, Let's Motor!"
Camden: "No, Screw you!"

I'm right there with you! My order was officially placed yesterday!!

 

I go to finalize the loan and the bank changed the APR and tacked on an additional 12 months to the loan..... looks like I may be the proud owner of a 2011 mini and not a 2010.

 

were you going to finance through Mini Financial or another bank?

 

Different bank. I'm stationed overseas in Germany.

 

Might be good to wait for the model refresh in the 2011.

 

Just put in my order for a 2010 Chili Red Cooper S, Black roof and stripes. Sport, Premium, Convenience and Cold Weather Packages with the Black web spokes and rear fog lamps.

 

I test drove and began the financing process a few weeks ago, had a perma-grin as well, but ended up not getting financed :(
