MA thinks roadster will arrive tonight or tomorrow .... Let's assume tomorrow.... I would think Wed afternoon might be a possibility ...
Living on the East coast does have advantages!

You're so right there. Guess having Winter weather for four months has its advantages. But still will have a 60 degree limit on the top going down. Ok, so I'm a softy

Just checked on OLMini and it is NOW showing that Lil Raggi is indeed, FINALLY at the dealers. Getting so close, and now if only Saturday will hurry up. Do you believe that this will be the longest week of the process?

As I was taking delivery, I had to drive 50 miles, sign some registration stuff because I was buying in one state and registering in another, see the car sat outside 99% ready, GO HOME WITHOUT IT, and go back a couple of days later for actual delivery. That made it double-unbearable!

Hi Bill,

I was at Patrick this a.m., I believe I saw your Roadster as I was pulling out the back of service...Pepper White with viper stripes? I wish I had seen this earlier...I would have snapped you a pic on my iPhone. You're so close

Thanks guy, I needed that????? Just kidding, but it is great to know for sure that our Lil Raggi is there.

Interesting to know that they put the stripes on, as it was suppose to be stripe delete and custom red stripes are to be added off site. Much more aggressive.
Bill

Spiney,

I 'm buying in NH.... They told me the only thing I must do is have the car inspected when I get back to Mass. ( I'll do it on the way home .. Same day )... Mini will reimburse me for the inspection .

PS: JUST RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 135i.... MY LUCK THE CAR WILL BLOW UP ON MY WAY TO MINI....

I got mine in RI, but I didn't have MA plates to put on it as I'd already sold the old car and returned the plates a month or two before, so they had to get new ones. I guess that's why I needed the extra visit, can't remember exactly now, it all faded away once I started driving the car. It's the anniversary of my car's delivery to me on Wednesday, by the way, you're almost exactly a year behind me!

Makes me jealous guy. So much like Lil Raggi except for we have the JCW trim. You're gonna like him!
