YEAH!!!!!!! So are you excited yet? It's going to be AWESOME! I've put 600 miles on mine now. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I've been driving around aimlessly and taking the long way to work just to drive it more. The long way for me is about a 30 twisty road ride You'll do the same.

They're trying to get everything done on it for a delivery today. If I don't get it today I will get it tomorrow morning. *Crossing fingers for today*
Yes! But you're excused this one time.

LOL. Eddie, I know you must be giddie. If your experience at the dealer was like mine, you'll be in and out in no time. My dealer was no pressure and was so easy to deal with. They presented me with "options" and I declined and they didn't press. She just said ok, well let's sign some papers.
In all, I was in and out in about 1.5 hours. I had to wait on the finance person to finish with someone else or it would have been quicker.
My MA gave me a cool Mini bag, a Union Jack MINI throw pillow that I think I'm going to put in the backseat of my car, and a MINI water bottle.
You're going to love it!

TrueEddie has captured the feeling of my excitement in getting my MINI. I am a Production Week 26 (Ordered Week 23) 2012 R55 S, and it's currently at the VDC.
My MA has said that as long as it doesn't get held up, I should be able to pick it up between the 22nd and 26th. My birthday is the 26th, and I'm really really hoping that it doesn't get held up.

AWESOME!!!!
simplybao is right - you are going to LOVE IT!!!! It is pure joy to drive!!!
And our experience at the dealer was very much like his, too. In and out pretty quick, very little pressure (the finance guy did push some on the tire and wheel protection plan, which, for runflats, seems to make sense to me). They almost forgot about the check .
I want pictures!!!!!

Oh it's definitley a blast to drive, and I haven't even put it in sport mode yet. I got the JCW lateral G gauge put, so I took the car into a round-a-bout and was able to get the gauge to read just under 1 lateral G. That was fine, my MA was in the car with me, he had me put the car in 2nd gear and kept telling me to floor through the loop! Can't wait until I get more comfortable with the car and can push it harder.
I'm so glad I didn't jump ship. I would've regretted it.
My dealer didn't give me any swag though, I guess they don't all do that.

Those floors look great! How long did it take you? I really want to do my floors, but I'm just so lazy!
