Ordered: 2006 Mini Cooper S

2006 Pepper White w/ Black top and Black Bonnet Stripes
Black Leatherette interior
Anthricite interior Trim
Sport Package
LSD
Rear Fog Light
Multi-function steering wheel
Aero Package (I got a deal, tried to get the special advertised on Motoringfile matched - got 1700 installed and I only have to drive 2.5 hrs rather than 8 to pick up my mini.)

I may add the Cold weather package too for $300 but we will see.

Anyway, just wanted to share the excitement!

The wait will be long, especially since my wife is out a car at the moment(The MINI will be hers but I will steal it from time to time) The dealership told me it should come in early March.

We looked into preowned MINI's, but none were equiped the way we wanted them and they were near the cost of a new one due to the high values they are holding

Already scheduled for production, only a week after ordering. Damn, I must have gotten in at the perfect time. I even have a VIN # now.

Very nice look

lady picked one up the same day i picked up my Royal Grey. I have never been partial to white cars but the PW with the black roof and bonnett stripes was gorgeous.
