YES!

I saw my baby today! She's (Jessica) is still nicely wrapped up. I'm waiting until next Tuesday to take delivery by my choosing.

It's SWEET!

FlynHawaiian, damn you beat me to it! I was so proud that I had finally found the Tosca and came over here to post right away and what do I find? You beat me to the punch--and here I thought I had the scoop. Oh well...

Well, how cool, the Tosca is in the Pacific! SAIL FASTER!!!

Oops, I see what you mean, the Tosca's not in the Pacific yet. I just checked the tracking site and it's still wait in line to go through.

I finally decided on a name for my MINI MCSC/JCW. Jessica! Named of course after Jessica Rabit. She was drawn bad, and my Jessica is truly bad ***!

I did all the paper work today. I'll pick her up on Tuesday after the weekend. To much going on here to take it before hand. I still haven't driven her yet but she's here and technically I think she's already mine since I'm paying insurance for her now!

Congrats!! I'm so happy for you! 635 is just tons of fun these days, isn't it? I've found ways to avoid 75 and 635 all together. Since I work close to downtown Dallas and live north of the loop, I usually drive out by White Rock lake and play on all the curvy/twisty roads.

How do you like Bing? How did you come up with the name????

I know that dealership, too I picked mine up Tuesday and they were stacking them deep in the showroom and said they had a lot of deliveries scheduled. Rec'd something like 30 cars in a week

Anyway - I'm curious about the questions PJ asked, too. I'm in Plano. My MA was Jeff Miller, and I will probably join the metroplexmini group soon.

OH! I almost forgot! nice car!

WOW. You're really preparing ahead of time. I was almost thinking of getting one but can't decide on a design or if I really need it. I think I do need it, but I'm going to hold off for just a little while longer.

I can't believe it took the Tosca so long to clear out of Panama. It needs sail on turbo now.

Well with all the superchargers in our minis she should be sailing fast now .

The sad part is I have the following mods sitting and awaiting to be put on as soon as I get her.

Whalden Shift Machine (GOD ITS AMAZING!)
Alta CAI with blue silicon hoze
Perforated black shift boot and e brake boot.
S2K Antenna
Auto Up Window
Custom Plastic Licence Plate
CG-LOCK! (Have one in every car YAH BABY!)

I will say this, anyone thinking about driving a stick shift should have a whalden. If you don't you are missing one of the greatest things ever built. WOW I MEAN WOW WOW WOW. I need to take a picture for you guys! DOUG YOUR GOD!
