Waiting anxiously for arrival of my baby!

Hello, everyone! We ordered a 2006 MINI Cooper for me on Saturday, September 30th. Here are the specs:
  • Pepper White w/black roof, black/white bonnet stripes and checkerboard mirror caps
  • Sunroof
  • Auto AC
  • CVT automatic transmission (silver)
  • Navigation
  • Xenon lamps
  • 15" Delta spoke wheels
  • Panther Black cloth seats (it gets very hot here in Texas!)
  • Silver interior surface
  • On-board computer
  • Leather cruise/multifunction steering wheel
  • Center arm rest
  • Chrome sport exhaust
  • Checkered valve stem caps
We considered the 2007, but I really like the look of the 2006 better. I also wanted the checkerboard graphic for the roof, but was advised that it can be a problem with the sunroof (if the case is otherwise, don't tell me - I don't want to know!)

Chequers is scheduled to arrive in late November. I SIMPLY CANNOT WAIT to tool around the Dallas Metroplex in him/her (haven't decided which gender yet!)

Hello Chequers! Welcome to NAM!

You are not too far from my neck of the woods (OKC). I'm actually a Dallas, Texas native.

I read your options list and the car sounds fantastic! I couldn't agree more with your color choice!

I hope that your Mini gets to you ASAP. You're really going to love it.

Chuck

Welcome Chequers,
We are in OKC and are waiting for Minimae to get on a boat and head home. Hopefully we will have her by the end of October. After your car is out of production the waiting gets longer and longer. Hang in there and keep reading these forums. It makes the time go by faster
