Wow!! Everyone's babies are so beautiful!! This is the definition of Eye Candy for me! There have been too many posts from new parents since I was last on here to reply individually! Thank you all for posting pics of your darlings! You must be so proud!!

GG! You only have an hour and a half to go! Believe me, I was craning my neck to see if I could catch a glimpse of Little GG this morning on my way to work! I can't wait for pics of her!!!
My husband laughs every time we're on the 55 and I holler if any cars obstruct my view of the MINIs on the parking structure roof of Crevier.

My MA emailed yesterday to tell me my girl was on a boat. I acted ignorant and excited, failing to mention that I had known that since the 25th. I asked him how long it would take to do all my installs and he said only a day! Looks like I'll hopefully be riding in style by the 25th or so!! 24 more days!!

CONGRATS again to all of you that are at or near the end of this wait from hell! ENJOY!!!
Kim

Beautiful MINI's Everyone/Nice hat GG
Alright GG!
Now, when you get in your car and they go over all the bells and whistles, Pair your phone (Bluetooth) and hook the cable up to it (its in the glovebox) and turn you loose, go have some fun but pay attention to the road, don't hit no potholes or get distracted and scratch that baby. oh, you do have your music on your phone that your going to be listening to don't you? after you get home in a few days you can play with all the buttons and gadgets in the driveway or garage and get them all figured out then. Remember, under 4000 RPM and don't hold a steady speed for any extended periods so gas it every once in a while and go through them gears.
Have Fun

WOW! Look at them side scuttles.

Really, really looks nice. My new Lil Guy is Pepper White too, but with two less seats. Enjoy, that's what they're for.

Least you get to use the Mini Owners Lounge to see updates on your vehicle. I can't since I am taking delivery in Germany. It's only for cars sold in the US Dealerships.

That's pretty much what will happen with mine.

Just kidding she looks very nice but I need REAL PHOTOS and I am pretty sure a lot of Mini NAMers wanted top down...or was that topless...

Yeah it is 3:50 here...sounds close enough to 5:30 to me
...just wish it was 5 PM as 30 minutes is all drive time during rush hour to my dealer. My MA called me today and I think he was actually more excited then I was, which made me feel better as his tracking skills for my Mini obviously are just a lack of exp so maybe I will help him out a bit.

0.9% financing ?

It's a new month, and we don't have our Mini yet, so I looked at special offers on the Mini USA web site. Clicked the "See all offers" button on the home page, typed in my ZIP when prompted, and lo and behold: 0.9% on purchase of all models, all trims.

That got me exicited, but then figured out it's only for 36 month term. Don't even want to figure out what that would be for the JCW Coupe I have on order.

Only the Roadster had 0.9% APR financing for up to 60 months on all 2013 MINI Roadster models, plus a $1,000 You-ification Credit towards any factory option. So if you have a Roadster coming in while it's active you are golden.

Good news is my MINI is finally at the port waiting on a ship.

Sorry, Martin! I should have included the fine print.

Congrats on being at the port.

I was just told that my Eclipse Gray Clubman S now has a VIN!!!
I am so excited, everything seems to be moving forward at a good clip. I ordered the car on Sunday the 24th, got a production number before I
left the dealer and now a VIN!
Can't wait!
