First ever mini - kinda stoked to be getting one finally

Not exactly mine, its a gift for the wife, but today i got the VIN from the dealer so its on the way.
A 2013 Cooper S, Spice Orange with white roof & stripes, Auto, Nav, Sport pkg, Rear park distance control & rear fog light. & thats about it.

Really looking forward to it. Unlike my current car (08 STI) i dont plan to mod this one much, just planning to fit the driving lights, union jack on roof, and probably some white OZ leggendas to replace the stock infinite stream rims.
So far this site has been real useful for info, so i figured it was time to register & check in.

Congrats and good luck with the wait. It feels excruciatingly long but NAM helps pass the time until she arrives.

Not much, i swear. Wife will keep me honest to that
Just ordered the wheels, not currently in stock at tirerack but hoping "Special Order" won't mean a big delay.
