Oh, and I have to sell my 2005 Honda Accord Coupe, but that's secondary :smile:[/QUOTE]
Well it's just an appliance anyway.

LMAO!! I wasn't even thinking Westerns - we didn't have westerns when I was a kid, we had Transformers.

I certainly hope it's image #1! If it's number 2, I reckon MINI or my dealership screwed up.

Hmmm... Will T.S. Irene tossle around FRANCONIA, or will she find safe harbor? Stay tuned!!

Even though we know my car has the water-wings option, I don't want her swimming in to Charleston harbor!

I'm beginning to doubt it. It was a 50/50 chance. They weren't sure whether the Aero kit would be back from the paint shop this morning. It's almost 5pm. I would of gotten a call by now if it was a go. I do know I'll be picking Bean up without the JCW brakes. They are on National Back Order. So Bean will have to back for that at some point. That's ok, I can live with waiting on that, easier than waiting on Bean.

News alert! I just got the call! I'm picking up Bean tomorrow!

I am so excited!

I've got my fingers crossed for your MINI. It can out swim any 7-Series cellmates!

Woo Hoo for me! The Charelston Harbor report updated this morning to show FRANCONIA arriving a day early... Tomorrow! (Beats out the nasty winds and high water...)

Now I have to get rental transport for another 10 days or so until the new one is ready.

I have it cut at the beginning of each semester, and at the end of Winter semester. It just so happens I was able to get an appointment in before the MINI . . . My coworker asked suspiciously, "Gee john, why'd ya get your hair cut?" Once I'm out of college (probably next summer ), I'll have a harder time gauging the time between cuts.

I am not OCD, just really really cheap - I try to maximize the money I pay to get my haircut. Same reason I got a MINI - try to maximize fun+cost, while retaining decent resale value, while having a good warranty.

I picked up Mean Mr. Bean v2.0 last night after store hours. I was welcomed with a surprise party with many of my friends there. It was awesome!

What a great looking MINI!
And how wonderful to have friends that made it so much more special. Really happy for you.

Is that a 'Mr. Bean' graphic I just make out in the rear window?

Congrats again... well worth the wait. Be kind during break-in.

Congrats! Nice MINI! how did all your friends know the MINI was coming ?

Also, did the dealership stay open just for you? That'd be amazing.
