I got the cashier's check from my bank today (dealer won't accept personal checks, go figure), and dealt with replacing my Probe with the MINI on the insurance and EZ Pass (a great, great service - if you do even a little driving on toll roads that use it, GET IT, it will save you lifetimes of sitting in lines at toll booths). Also getting ready for our trip to the beach this weekend, which helps take my mind off it, but once we're there I'll probably end up driving everybody else nuts.

Thanks! I bought a stubby weeks ago. I also got WeatherTech floor liners front and rear, passenger side visor to replace the OH SH*T handle, license plate frame, strut tower dust covers and lots of other little tidbits. They've all been waiting patiently in the garage.

I'm currently waiting for the truck to deliver my car to the dealer and am hoping to get a few pics from my MA before the day is out.

Well boys and girls, I picked mine up last night. A day behind irondawg (you dog!). And oh my, it's RED!! This morning on the way in to work an amazing thing happened. Where I-95 and I-495 merged, two other red/black minis merged with me! One was an S hardtop (like mine) and the other a Clubman, but still, three red minis in a row in the middle lane! Got/gave my first thumbs up too!

Will try to post some pics tonight. Can't wait to see everyone else's soon!

Don't you just LOVE when things like that happen? I'd be grinning from ear to ear! Mine's red too....looking forward to seeing pics. My MA said she'd send pics when it came in. Perhaps it came in after she left for the day or didn't come in yesterday as planned. wwwwwaaaaiiiiitttinggg!!!!!!!!!

Owner's Lounge finally updated, I have an estimated delivery of 7/4! I bet my dealer will be closed for the holiday.

My MINI dealer is supposed to have the car a day or two more to put on the final items (JCW strut brace, JCW sport gauges, JCW drilled brake rotors, bonnet stripes).

Either way it looks like next week I will finally get my MINI!

At least you finally have a date! I know I felt like a load was taken off my shoulders when I saw that delivery date posted in the OL. Good luck!

I know what you mean. The uncertainty was killing me.

No name yet...letting the wifey come up with one since she bought it as present for my b-day.

OK....I know you must love her dearly but if you ever have second thoughts I'll gladly take her off your hands!

Looks good! Are those the conical spoke rims? That's what I got on my MINI.
