Your long wait is almost over! She's beautiful! So shiny! Love the mirror caps!

Good luck getting to sleep tonight :-)

Is yours a JCW Hardtop?
Colors, options?
Greg

Ps. Yes, I'll post plenty if pics. Are you expecting mine to be a bit lower?
Yep JCW Hardtop reef blue w/white top/mirrors/stripes 6spd tech w/nav JCW seats, auto air, arm rest, back up sensors, xenons, white turn signals, hhmmm.. I can't remember everything since I ordered so long ago!

I do expect yours to arrive lower w/the JCW suspension. We are planning a 1" drop. First thing we are doing Saturday is putting on new tires.

Thanks,
She is shiny and get this, the reason I couldn't get her tonight, they are detailing her for me in the morning. Doesn't look like she could get any shinier.

What is expected, like 1/2" lower? I have no clue.

Yours should be 1" lower than mine. Probably won't be too noticeable but it is supposed to make a difference in handling.

The memo didn't come out until the 16th, so I think those of us still waiting but had early priority 1 orders are out of luck.

My deposit is refundable. As hard as it will be, if after getting promised the$750 they don't deliver I'll walk. It will make me cry but I'll do it.

I think he knew we were in it no matter what! After all this, I don't think I could walk away.

transfered, but yes, I could have gotten new plates the same day. new plates would have cost more and I would loss my plate number, which I have had for 20 years.

Hooray for 2013 support group!

Got everything finalized today with my MA here in SoCal and he will be ordering it first thing tomorrow(today was his off day)...

I pray that my MINI gets delivered before 3 January... Anybody else recently just ordered their MINI?

WooHoo! I'm right behind you. We see our MA at noon. It feels better than Christmas morning!
