I'm new

Just a quick note, my husband and I ordered our Mini Cooper S JCWs March 23. It was built actually on my birthday, I like to think my husband got it for me for my birthday, 4/10. It's been in transit since oh, 4/21. Was suppose to hit Charelston on 4/30, no luck, suppose to be there tomorrow. I'm trying to be patient but it is getting tough, I know some how I'll survive. Here is our baby:

Space Blue
silver top
black bonette stripes
english black panther leather
conv. pkg
prem. pkg
sport pkg
cold weather pkg.
cockpit chron pkg
harmon kardon
and few other extras...

Well, I'll look forward to reading others here! Thanks! Waiting patiently in Ann Arbor, MI.

Hi from another Space Blue Michigander, hopefully I'll have mine mid July!
The wait is tough!

The word is, it's sitting in SC. I talked to our MA today and she says she will check back with us on Monday, but, no longer than two weeks! What do they do with it at the distribution center?! I know, patience is a virtue...

Congrats on your MINI. The wait is probably the hardest part. I just ordered mine last week.

Friday! 5/12, we pick it up from Motor City MINI! It is getting the strut brace Ipod connector and black bonnet stripes put on! We are so excited! What a Mother's Day gift - kidding!

Happy motoring to all!
