Brand new Mini...haven't even seen it yet.
Hi all,
I ordered a 2005 MCS back in January. Jet Black, sport/premium packages, heated seats, H/K stereo, and a list of other toys. Well, my wife picked it up a week ago and the only problem is.........I CAN'T EVEN TOUCH THE THING!!! I'm in the Army currently on my second tour to Iraq. My wife is in Germany (where I'm originally stationed) having a blast in her new car and I'm sitting in the desert heat breathing in sand. Does that seem fair to anyone?

Yeah, I know what you mean. Back in '76 the Eagles came to Munich and my wife went to see them while I was on REFORGER. Stinks. Tell your bud's theres alot of people over here thinking of and praying for you guys. Keep your heads down and your spirits up. Can't thank you enough for what your doing.

Coming from a military background, I would like to express my sincere "Thank You" for all you and your fellow service men/women do for us back in the good old USA....we wish you a very safe return...:smile:

And yes, kiss the wife without looking over here shoulder to see if you can see your MINI in the parking lot.

This is a great thread. A U.S. Serviceman in hell, looking forward to COMING HOME TO HIS MINI, and then his wife.

Update!!!!!
Well all, I finally went on leave back to Germany and FINALLY got to drive my Mini. So fun...so so fun. I got a few minor complaints, but nothing that's worth writing about. Took it out on the Autobahn and had a nice little 125-130 mph cruise. I took a few pics and I'll post them to my gallery as soon as I get a chance. I want to thank all of you for your well-wishes.
