I can't wait!

Good Morning all!

Just wanted to introduce myself! I am waiting on a 07 MC, Pure silver...and the wait is killing me! I should get my new baby in late feb, early march. According to the website...my MC is waiting to be loaded onto the ship.

I knew the wait would be hard, but my lord, this is unbearable. :impatient

This is my first MC...and I am waaaaayyyyyyy too excited!

Excellent - welcome

New myself - I should get my MCS 1st week of March, as long as US has had their 07 launch , if not I have to wait until launched - even if she is here...

Hi!

Ya know...I was never a 'car person' (i know....shoot me) until the MC. I saw a few around town...became interested, but then, I drove it. Oh my...never experienced anything like it. Now, I'm obsessed. Seriously. I can't get my hands on enough Mini stuff...there has to be a name for this. "MINI-ITIS" , perhaps.

Anyone have any ideas to preoccupy the time?

I'm also having a hell of a hard time coming up with a name for her.

Pure silver 07' baby!!!!!!

use the "User CP" to the left under Main Menu, and go to edit signature, then just put pics in like you would in a post

Hi dpmini! Welcome aboard! My new Mini is also at the port waiting for a ride to the US. My MA estimates that it will arrive here around Feb 25th. Cant wait!

07PepperS - Theyre making Germany wait until the US launch? Thats hardly fair

I too am experiencing the excrutiating "awaiting transport" wait. So I'm with you on that. I am addicted to owner's lounge and ask mini.

Naming MINIs; I've read here many people wait until they have thiers before naming him/her. Many have said don't rush it -- your MINI will tell you what it's name is.
I am waiting as well -- it's tough.
I was racking my brain for a name too untill I read a few threads here about naming and decided he/she would reveal it's name to me. So now I'm focusing on personalized plates. I always hated vanity plates but it seems so right for a MINi to have a cool plate.

Hmmm...

"The naming of MINIs is a difficult matter..."

Nah, it'd be too cheesy.
