Finally had a chance to sit down and post on NAM, I couldn't upload pics from my phone.
Here are a few from this last weekend of having her.

Yellow fogs and white city lights that you can't see because the fogs are so bright:

Picked her up today after an overnight clear bra treatment:

The wait is almost over for most of you! IT IS DEFINITELY WORTH THE WAIT.
I have a perma-grin every time I turn her on.
I've got NM springs and an H-Sport sway bar waiting in the garage, and need to set up a tint appointment for the rear 3 plus sunroof.
Thanks for the support this thread has offered.

Love the pepper white and all that JCW power under the hood.
Pumpkinhead only has 21 miles to go to get out of that 1200 mile break-in period. Of course you know those were all very slow to the store and back miles.

It's absolutely impossible to stay under 4500 rpm when out pleasure driving. I am doing a god job at staying below 5000 but I won't lie, it's gotten up near or above 6k once or so...

[QUOTE=Card;3539104]Do you know at what point will the Taipan be back on the radar?
I believe the Taipan is supposed to arrive at Port of Manzanillo Panama on 7/5 (if I remember correctly) … I’m guessing that it will reappear around the 7/2 … depending on it’s route…. or perhaps sooner … not sure if it goes in a straight line from Southampton or if it goes west to the US and then down the coast line... and lets hope that hurricane season is quiet till we get through ….

I'm excited to see all you "newbies" stalking your MINIs! What frustrates me is the fact that I seem to be the last one in my production date range still waiting!!! UGH! It's been a loooooooooong wait! My birthday present was picked out on April 24th and ordered on May 2nd. It was born on May 11th.
Well...the waiting will be over tomorrow! I have my pick up appointment set at 10am!!! Hip, hip!!!

I can't get over the way she sounds with all the pops and burbles!
Your's looks great, I like the PW/PW combo!
Any mods planned?
