Thumbs up What it is like to take delivery of a Custom JCW Coupe: HD Video

For those you who have already experienced the thrill of custom ordering your mini and then the excitement of finally picking it up at the dealer: my video is sure to bring back some fond memories.

For those of you who have cars on order: I hope my video amps up your anticipation until you can hardly stand it!

For those of you who are mini haters: I hope my video changes your mind

For those of you who love minis but have not gotten around to buying one: what are you waiting for? You can buy my gently used '04 MCS or take the plunge on a hot JCW Coupe like I did!

For all of you - I hope you enjoy my ~9 minute video

Once again, a shout out to Mini of Portland for being gracious enough to let me film to my hearts content!

Cheers,
GatorGreg

Did you accidentally miss copying part of the link? I'm getting an address invalid message when I try and open it.

Very cool

The link didn't work for me either, but I searched YouTube for "taking delivery of a JCW Coupe" and it came right up

I'll be repeating the process in two weeks!!!

Very nice. Looks like its loaded with options. But its very stock. What are you plans for modifications? You can't be a regular on NAM and NOT having the modding bug.

I really enjoyed your video, especially since my JCW coupe is so similar to yours. Mine is white silver instead of the pepper white, but everything else appears the same. Congratulations, and I hope you experience as much pleasure with it as I have with mine since taking delivery in January.

Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed....

As for the miss-spelled word - threw that in there to help keep you on your toes, especially you Pat


Speaking of keeping you on your toes - I am surprised that no one has called me out on that part of the video where I ask my wife if she wants to be the first one to drive the new car. She of course says "yes" and then the next scene shows me getting into the drivers side (aka the first one to drive the car) and driving away. The way I think of it is that I was just "asking" her, never said she could
