I have been going to my dealer and driving a 2012 roadster every weekend. They call me a frequent flyer and have limited my test drives to 20 minutes. I just need my weekly fix. I think they are going to call an intervention soon.
We got a kick out of frequent flyer status! Can't wait to see pictures of your eclipse gray when she arrives. We could not be any happier with that color choice. The roadsters look great in every color we have seen thus far, but so glad we went with gray. No regrets here and hopefully you will feel the same!

update -

well she is now complete and says at port awaiting a shipping vessel. Now this is where I hear that I may be looking at 6-8 weeks or more according to my MA.
He is not happy with me because I decided to get my own financing. They said 2013 no incentives and dealer provided none. They are having wheels powder coated for $750 but that sounded a bit much.

Pictures to some soon.... I hope for now the wait continues... :(

Pippa is a pretty good looking roadster! Great meeting you at the SD breakfast last weekend. Look forward to seeing you again at MTTS in LA!

Happy Motoring!

HAHAHA. The waiting is the toughest part. I know the feeling. Unfortunately we do not have a ton of great pics, but here a couple for you. The First is a Picture of the first time we "abused her". We actually were trying to meet up with MINI Takes the States in Phoenix and we hit unexpected flash floods in the desert and when we stopped to get gas in Yuma we were shocked at how horrible she looked!

The second is just a rare shot with her top up. The openometer has cycled so many times that it is a rather worthless piece of equipment!

Here is hoping your Eclipse Gray comes soon!
