You've all heard me whinning for the last 2 months about getting my MINI but I have to show you my first born MINI. This is Louie. Just as handsome & reliable as the day I got him almost 2 years ago.

My MCS HB/HB is riding along with the two of you. Once it hits Charleston I have to wait for it to make its way to Jacksonville. The dealer is telling me around the 15th of the month. I am not very good at this hurry up and wait Also my OL states mine is still awaiting transport.

Coming Soon!

My Mini is should be at Classic in Ohio tomorrow. The K-Line ship must have arrived early. It was suppose to have arrived last Tuesday, but when I called Julie on Thursday she said it had been released from the VPC in SC and is scheduled to arrive at her place on Monday, Sept 27

So, I just have to wait for her to put it on a truck to San Diego. She's expecting two more Minis soon that will go to Los Angeles, so mine will be going with them.

MCS, CR/W, bonnet stripes, and all the other good stuff.

Just talked to my MA at Dreyer & Reinbold MINI in Indianapolis. She's telling me it looks like I'll be able to pick up my "Mia" on Tuesday, 10/5 or Thursday, 10/7. I was really hoping to have her before this weekend but doesn't look like that will be the case.

I hope I can survive this weekend. Last weekend was brutal. Waiting seems to get harder and harder every day!

Ack! How priorities change! 2 months ago when I ordered my MCS, I was very excited to receive it, but now I am not so sure. We just put an offer on a house (about 6 months before we agreed to even buy one) and I am second guessing my MINI purchase . To top it off, no one is even looking to buy my MC right now. I have it priced quite low and still no bites .

Whew! Folks, I got approved, at about 6% interest rate, which is not half bad considering my new credit. *checking pulse*. OK, I am still alive, and breathing. Had different horror scenerios running through my head while my MA put me on hold today..... Thank God its all ok... Whew!!

Now all I have left to worry about it: should I have the dealer install stripes, or should I do it?

LESS THAN 5 DAYS LEFT!!!

Noa

PS- sorry Drew about the yo-yo games . That just plain sucks.

Cause we live in CA - we ordered from Sterling MINI in VA - where we used to live and where we ordered our first MCS from. And now it's coming via an enclosed carrier - who by the way - has been totally AWESOME!!:smile: Door to door service - can't get much better than that - well - unless we were able to drive it back...

Chow!

Stripe dilemma:

Here is one version that I like:


My other consideration would be white stripes with black pinstipes:

How do you guys think that would look on a CR/W Cooper??

noa-
I like both stripes, but with the white top im leaning toward the all white, congrats on the loan, whoo hooo

drew-
man that is unecessary torture, i feel for you, to be so close and to keep having the rug pulled out, argh

iamwiz-
where do you live? if not in california, I would post your add on site that will go nation wide, i know i looked for awhile for used minis and almost bought one back east, then at last second went for a new one! Even the used mini market in california is nuts!! Either way good luck!!!

I also just got an offer to get free airfare to pick up my car!! from friend who works for an airline, that is as long as he gets a test drive as I drive through on the way home!! So now as long as I can squeeze a whirlwind roadtrip into my school schedule, I am going to pick up my car in person!!

I like this one best. Just a touch different from the factory ones. Makes yours look different from everyone elses.

Congratulations to all the soon to be motors! As a member of the disbanded 2003 CWFO club it brings back great memories to read about your new MC and MCS and especially about Lois' MCSC or whatever they're called.

Lois I saw your MINI at the dealer out in in So Cal. It was the only MINI they had at it was BRG Convertable with the Cordoba Beige leather and Anthricite. It looked very,very,very,very nice!

Enjoy

Thanks so much, sbgobig

I have a check in hand for one MINI Cabrio Now if she just arrives by this weekend. Reservations at the Memphis Hilton are made. I'm waiting to hear from my MA. He said he would know 48 hrs ahead of arrival. I'm off to pray to the MINI gods.
