two more sleeps to get my Mini!

After many years admiring/being in love with Mini Coopers I ordered one and will pick it up after the weekend!
It is a midnight black with white racing stripes (anyone has this color? Just hope its not metallic but blackblack!) Anyways, it is a Mini, anything should be good on it
Can't hardly sleep and think of anything else. Am I crazy?

No, you are not crazy.
You have been bitten by the MINI bug.
This occurs to anyone who purchases a new or used MINI.
Welcome to the club!

Lucky!! Congratulations! I'm still waiting on mine to get here! It should arrive at the port any day now! I think I'm starting to go crazy. I think it's just going to get worse, the closer it gets! I ordered a Midnight Black too and am also hoping it's really black. Post pictures once you get it! I'd love to see it!

Thanks!
I always called everyone else "lucky" who drives a Cooper. Still can't believe I get my own! I sure will post a picture. TWO MORE SLEEPS! Nice you get a Midnight Black too !

I got it, I got it!! I am soooo happy. Was not sure about the colour, it is not deep black especially in the showroom but once the Mini went outside in nice sunshine, it was shining black with chrome!! Love it. One disappointment today, all of a sudden my Bluetooth is gone. The "Phone" on the display just is gone....:-(
Now I have to take it back on my next day off. Oh well, I enjoy the ride. No regrets at all!

My dream!

Here is my dream! I probably will have tinted windows later too. Other than that, it looks and runs great. Eight years waiting...a dream came true

Congrats! 8 years...damn you are a much patient person than I.

Re: the bluetooth, mine had issues after a few months as well. I took mine into the dealership and they ended up replacing the bluetooth module and now it always works. Good luck.

You're right. I took it to the dealership today and they are going to order a bluetooth module. Will miss the Mini for two days but then it'll be working again :-))

Looks great and you'll love the black. Nothing looks better than a well kept black car. Tip: Only use micro fiber towels.
