Checking in
Hey gang, haven't piped up in a while, but I've been following along and enjoying every minute of it. Thanks for being such a lively production week, glad I could watch along on all the fun and see the Centaurus Leader pics and everything!
Just got the word from my MA that the car arrived today, two days before the original estimated delivery date, one day after the revised estimated delivery date on the OL. Having quite a few things installed, so probably won't be picking him up until next week, but a part of me is really hoping I'll be out motoring this weekend! I've been without my own car since mid-March when I totalled my truck going up to go snowboarding. I'd always had my eye on a Mini and after driving one I knew it was meant to be, and I'd just have to deal with 3 months of no vehicle to get him just the way I want.
I'll post some pics just as soon as I am united with my car, but like a lot of you I'm tempted to go down to the dealership early and just give him a big old hug. Anyway, thanks again for the fun thread everyone!

Just rolled 300 miles during my motoring to work this morning. Also, she was getting thirsty so she got her first refill: about 12 gallons. A few other random observations:
- I really dislike bugs that commit hari kari on my windshield. A kind word to all my flying, six legged friends: Please choose a different method of suicide, or at least find someone else's windshield.
- When putting the key in the ignition, I prefer to do so with the MINI logo facing down. That way, when the car is started, the MINI logo is facing me.
- The seat heaters really work. Motored top down this morning, so I was wearing a light windbreaker and had the heater and seats on. My backside was quite toasty. And I was using the low setting. My wife is gonna love these since her idea of tepid is about when I start thinking Chernobyl.
- The drive over Pigeon Pass (Hwy 84 in Livermore, CA) followed by a jaunt up Pleasanton Sunol Rd is a very nice drive. A few good twisties, and lots of beautiful vistas. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...,0.135956&om=1

ROFL . You guys are killin' me!! You gotta remember English is my second language, I have no first!
No, I found myself visualizing what you were describing. I think I have an old sitcom remake running through my head. 'Lost In Mini'
I'm driving to central Oregon Friday and have spent quite a bit of time finding the best MINI route.
Fear Factor horror, No MINI for 21 hours .
