Just had the chance to visit Pippa at the dealership! I'm in love!!!!

They'll be prepping her soon, so I'll be able to pick her up at 5:00. So excited, I can barely contain myself.

I had to drive 80 miles west to find sun to enjoy Pippa properly (not that clouds and a little rain stopped me from putting the top down) and my cheeks still hurt from smiling so much. I kept thinking of how horrified WinstonAllegheneyIII would have been for exposing her to a downpour so soon. At one point it was raining so hard I did, reluctantly, put the top up.

After the long wait, was finally about to pick up my mcs saturday. Automatic white silver with black roof, black bonnet stripes, jcw package, hk audio, bluetooth, and all black/anthracite interior.

The wait was a little longer than a standard order, but the extra wait time was for the dealership to open up, and they were kind enough to custom order my car as part of their initial inventory. I am extremely happy to have waited and purchase from Mini of Camarillo and support the local business rather than using one of the nearby mini dealers. And its even better that my house is literally 2.9 miles from the dealership.

I absolutely love the car so far and can't wait for the break in period to be over already!

Will get some better quality pictures, they were taken using my iphone after purchasing it and later on outside a store that night.

Picked up Deuce on Saturday and put 70 miles on it this weekend. Man, these cars are really nice. For a while I was a little bummed that I couldn't make the S happen, but I have zero regrets after finally owning a MINI.

Sorry that some of the pics are sideways.

I think that would be best. Early bonding is very important part of the development process...

Very nice, congrats Card. I'll be on the lookout for you and Pippa. I too keep thinking how horrified WinstonAllegheneyIII would be for exposing Purrl, keeping Purrl parked outside and not in the garage and getting pine needles all over her and still I have not washed Purrl yet.
