Yippee! Zippeee!'s here!
Finally, after 9 weeks of waiting, there's a new MINI in my driveway! She's Chili Red with White, and white stripes. I've always wanted a red car--we'll see how much of a ticket magnet she is! 
Zippeee! has the sport, premium, and cold weather packages, plus a few other goodies. Driving her is a dream--this is the second '07 I've driven (the other one was a MCa), and I love the MINI experience.
A plug for my MA--Art Bernhardt at MoTW did a fine job nursing me through my pregnancy, and and even better job explaining the features and controls of my new baby. Even though I was already familiar with the controls MINIs share with BMWs, there's always lots to learn about, and he was most patient.
I'll post photos as soon as I take them!

Congrats! With regards to your color choice (I've also chosen CR/W), I was trying to describe it to a coworker today, but couldn't think of anything else to say except "It's the perfect red". 
Looking forward to lots of pics!

Spykdpunch--you're absolutely right--couldn't be a better red!
I've got to take a ride into the country tomorrow--maybe I'll get a chance to get some pics. I promise them by the weekend, even if it takes me a couple of days to get the right background (and figure out how to upload them!).

Thanks, guys--seems a bunch of us with Week 3 production are finally getting our cars this week--except for our East Coast friends. Hopefully they will get theirs in another few days.
Forgot to mention Zippeee! is an MCS--lotta power!

Hoorah and Congratulations daffodildeb on your new MCS!
Welcome to the MINI family!
Wow, nine weeks is a VERY LONG time and I'll bet your glad the waiting is over with!
Now that Zippeee's is home with her new family you need to introduce her to your NAM brothers and sisters!
The way to do this is to get those pics posted. Grab that camera and start shooting!
We will be waiting for those pics... :impatient
You and Zippeee watch yourselves while motoring... RED = Ticket Magnet (or so I've been told)
