I've ordered a Cool Blue Metallic Sport Convertible with Black Bonnet stripes, black convertible top, chrome line exterior and interior, 17 inch web spokes, illuminated door sills, black Panther leather, and packages include Cold Weather, Convenience Package, Sport Package, and Premium Packages. I also added the Mini alarm system, and the shopping bag holder. My gracious MA offered to throw in the floor mats after I tried to negotiate a better price (knowing I wouldn't get one, but hey, it never hurts to try). I went totally crazy the first 5 weeks just waiting for the status to change from "On Order", and now I know it should be done any day now, and ready to head to the docks to get put on a ship!
date of 4-9 today is 5-23 (unless you are in a different day zone) and no word??
Like to hear how you like it.

Just pulled the trigger on buying MCS. Luckily enough I found the car with 95% similar optional in the dealer lot. Sadly enough I can NOT drive out the car since I'm leaving for a vacation. Mine is electric blue with white roof and mirror, anthricite interior, sports package, armrest and heated seats.

Soon to be new owner
I finally purchased a Mini. Pick it up tomorrow in Indianapolis, IN. Hope that I can sleep tonight! I am closer to age 70 that 60 and decided that if I was going to buy, now is the time. My kids think that is cool, mother-in-law thinks I'm Nuts!! Will probably have some questions in the future.
Great site

Welcome to NAM, littlebvan! Picking your MINI up tomorrow?!?!?!?! Nope, no sleep for you.....way too exciting. Have a blast motoring in your new MINI! What color/model are you getting??
I remember driving out of the dealer parking lot the first time in my Cooper...I had only driven a MINI once, and that was during my test drive almost three months earlier (yes, that was the wait time in late '02). Needless to say, we got acquainted right away...I was grinnin' from ear to ear by the end of the block and haven't stopped.

Got My Mini And It's Rollin'
Hi Gang! I got my Mini and it's rollin' down the road at a high rate of speed. It came from the nice people at Classic Mini-Brian and Mike K were extra helpful. It's finished in Astro Black, with a white top, 15" wheels, automatic, and black and tan (sounds like beer!) leather sport seat interior, and the premium package. A really pleasant (pleasant?? Heck, it's FUN!) car to drive, wih a lot of extra features, and with the price of gas constantly going skyward, I'm smiling even more. Dave Stewart introduced me to this websitte, and I have to thank him for that. I look forward to meeting other "Mini-philes" and picking up good info from this site. By the way, did anyone see the pictures of the proposed Mini with a longer wheelbase for more legroom? It was in our Cleveland Plain Dealer, so it probably was everywhere else. It looked a little strange, but I'd almost have to see it in person to evaluate it. Of course, if it made the rear seat more usable, that's a plus; just so it stays cute, and handles like it does. Well, I gotta drive....Mike

Soon I'll be in the market for a 2005/06 MCS, so I'll be spending a lot of time here trying to absorb & learn as much as possible from all of you.
I've been a long time Porsche guy, and currently have a '96 993 C4S. I've loved the newer Minis ever since they first came out, but haven't been in a market for a daily driver up until now. I'm still not sure when I'll get one, but it will probably be in the next couple of months. Glad to be a part of this forum.

Not new, but have never really been around
Howdy to all fellow MINI owners,
I've had my MCC 04 for a year and 4 months now and, 36500 miles plus, I have enjoyed every minute of it!!
My MINI is named "Finaly" (yes, I know about the misspelling) and is an IB/W with IB/W checkered roof. Finaly has all sorts of options, way too many to list quickly here, and has had a few mods as well.
I am fairly active with the MetroplexMINI group here in Dallas, and have been a "lurker" here on NAM for a while. Why I thought that I had posted before, I was informed today that I had indeed not posted and needed to in order to keep my acount active.
So, here it is, my first NAM post. Sorry that it took so long, but I'm sure it's the first of many to come.
Now, back to my lurking. . .
