Hello, all!
Just joined NAM and my wife is about to place the order for our (HER) first MINI.
Looking forward to posting more on the various forums once the process begins to move forward!
Looks like there is a ton of great information on here.

Welcome and congratulations on a GREAT decision! Do you know what you're ordering yet?

 

Hi gojogo! It will be a 2010 Cooper S, Dark Silver with body color roof, Sport Pkg, H/K audio, Racing Lights, 17" Breyton GTS-R MINI wheels, and custom painted Racing Stripes down the hood, roof and trunk lid. :>

 

Yum - Breyton GTS-R's! Congrats on the new ride. My wife got hers in February and a month later I cracked and bought my own. Looking forward to seeing pics of it. I don't see too many DS/DS - I think that's a really nice color choice.

 

Sounds beautiful!

 

gojogo, I see that you just got yours! :> Congrats! Also, noticing that you got the H/K upgrade. I know there are some separate topics just for the stereo discussions but can you provide me with a line or two about what you think? I went to our dealer the other day and our very helpful MA let me test both the stock and H/K systems. I could FOR SURE tell the difference and think it's the right way to go.

 

Welcome to the forum, get your order in soon so you will have all summer to play with the new MINI.

 

MandB, Thank you! I am having a ton of fun. We love the H/K sound. I think it makes a difference especially if you are getting a convertible. We were on our first rally yesterday (for convertibles - tons of fun!) and had a hardtop passenger. Her car does not have upgraded sound and she said that our H/K sounded so much better than her non upgraded sound. Bottom line for me is that I would go for the H/K upgrade. I'm loving the sound and it sounds like (from other people) it's a great improvement. Hope that helps.

 

Sweet! The order is complete and, at the last moment, my wife switched from Dark Silver to Chili Red! :>
I think it will be awesome. Final list is below. We have the production # so let the "tracking" begin! Ordered on 4/30/2010 from Midwestern MINI, Dublin, OH.

Nice specs!!!

 

Great choices all!! Do you know if they overrode a current order they had already placed? If they did, it could all happen sooner than later!!

I'm an Ohioan, too - but Way north of you in Akron. Ordered from Classic.

The CR/CR combo will look SWEET. You see a lot of CR (soon to be mine as well!), but not CR/CR.

 

Alllllllllllmost here! Got on the Wallenius Willhelmsen "PATRIOT" and was able to use the AIS system online to watch it pull into Southampton, load and depart on its way to Baltimore.
Wondering how long the VDC phase will take.
NAM has been a great site to pass the time while waiting for the new baby to arrive.
