Thanks, guys. It's the anticipation resulting from so many weeks of waiting. You can't tell I'm excited, can you?

 

Um...nope....not at all!

 

Dudes, I get excited every time I look at, sit in or drive mine. I'm excited for you to enjoy yours man. Pics! No matter what kind or what shape it's in!

 

What a sight I'll be tomorrow. It's Sunday, so the dealership is closed. There I'll be, all alone, staring at this Roadster all wrapped up in protective white sheets, filthy dirty, sitting in the back lot. And I couldn't be happier.

 

I just pictured this whole scenario. It made me laugh. Make sure you take photos of your expressions also haha :D

I can't imagine the stupid grin on my face. Well, maybe I can...

 

Dealership was closed today (Sunday), but I went to see my new Roadster anyway. Still wearing delivery wrap and slightly dirty, he still looked great! Delivery tomorrow! Not a very good picture, but meet John Bull:

 

Great news and John Bull's a beauty. Now the question remains - will you be driving it to Florida on your holiday?

 

Southwest Airlines flights already booked. John Bull will sit idly in the garage next to my wife's Jaguar XF.

 

i dunno tampadave. looks a little like a spy photo. are you suuuuure that's your new ride?!

 

he does have a point, you know.

 

We're having rain right now, but I can take one of the Roadster in my garage. Give me a little time here.

 

Here we go: John Bull in his new home.

 

Soooooo, do you love it?

 

Like a kid in a candy store, only better. I know I'm 57 years-old, though young in attitude, physical conditioning, and health-wise, but it felt really cool driving my Roadster. I felt really cool. I can't wait to drive with the top down. I'll feel even cooler. Did I sum it up well? The Roadster is magnificent!

 

Did the picture show up by itself? I tried to copy and paste versus using thumbnails.

 

yep the picture showed up! he's a beaut!!

 

Thank you! Great day to take a picture - garbage day in the neighborhood.

 

Gorgeous!

 

minted-rose and Beachnmini,

Thanks for the compliments! I actually had people from the MINI dealership cast a few admiring comments my way at delivery. From my mind to the configurator to the reality of John Bull, I couldn't be happier.

 

Didn't even notice the garbage 'til you mentioned it. John Bull's a looker, that's for certain.

And you should feel really cool. Cuz you are! Enjoy the ride, tampadave - it's only just begun...

 

It's hard to notice trash in the background when there's an awesome *** car as the focal point.

I'll second that!!!

 

Thanks, guys. I really appreciate the compliments. I'm leaving for Florida this Saturday, so John Bull is going to chill out awhile. Time for some fun in the sun with my wife!
