Driving the Fiat 500 is definitely fun, ugly or not!
I don't think I've noticed a MINI with body-colored fender arches added after the purchase. Be sure to post pictures. Regular paint or this plastidip stuff I keep hearing about? Additionally, I just searched your Oz Leggenda wheels - which ones are you getting?
Warning: I know nothing about vehicle mechanics or external modifications. I'm a simple lawyer.
As for the wheels...

If I could have configured my car, I would have gotten the JCW exterior package. I bought mine used and after a month of searching for the right one, the closest I got to it was my "Klaus". Certainly not disappointed though...just have to tweak him a bit to get him just right :-)

Peerage #310
I noticed that #310 is still available from your latest list. Can I reserve that number for Alfie who is still in pieces across the pond? That number holds sentimental value for us . . . okay, okay - it's my house number. But I figure that Alfie will always know where to go when he's tired of traversing the highways. Like that's ever going to happen!

I wish I had a completion date. I'm in the "scheduled for production - without a date" category. I keep thinking - soon, soon . . .
#362
Check with your MA or live ASK MINI rep for the most recent progress reports. I called ASK MINI reps almost daily without a trace of guilt. They're very patient and exceptionally friendly.

At least you have a MINI for your motoring adventures (sigh). Mine sits on the Torino in Santander, Spain, awaiting it's final voyage across the Atlantic. It's due in Baltimore on October 3rd. Until then, I'll plug along in my little Fiat 500 rental...vroooom, vroooom!

The good thing about yours is that it's brand spanking new. I bought mine at 5yrs of age and 39k miles already on it...and some small dog hair in the passenger foot area. It was garage`d majority of its life before I bought it but still...I didn't get to break it in.

Soon, my friend. Soon. And then, beep beep vroom vroom wave wave.

I'm glad my Roadster's new. I haven't bought a used car since my last MG in the mid-1970's. That's one advantage of being a lawyer, I guess. The funny thing? My favorite cars of all time were MG's, including a used '66 MGB and a used '71 MG Midget. My first new car was a '75 MG Midget I bought for about $3,500 when I started college (I'm 57 years-old).

MGBs are awesome little cars but I heard maintenance sucks for it unless you know how to work on them. I certainly do not. I'm a bit too young to have a favorite vehicle but so far so good, my MINI is my current favorite and was my "quarter century crisis" vehicle. (I'm old enough to be your daughter at 29yrs.)

is it crazy that i consider my dog-like cat to be my kid?
#375
Probably not. Kristen married her fraternity sweetheart (a lawyer) and they live near Birmingham, AL, so she's out of the area. Kelly just bought a BMW and has no interest in my Roadster. Best of all, neither one knows how to drive a 6 speed manual. I'm a dog guy 100%, but I understand the cat thing. My sister-n-law has no children, so her cat's treated like a child. She sends out greeting cards with regards from "Rocky" the cat. I question her sanity.
