Shows you what I know!
I thought I saw MCS on the apron for sale off the lot...must have been a mirage -or more likely - lack of understanding on my part.

Peter,
I have cloth seats in the Miata-only problem is when it rains they get REAL wet. Many of my Miata friends have leather & basically have had no problems. Animals wear their hide in the rain:smile: Although the leather does get pretty hot if let out in the summer in 98 degree St Louis heat. I had some misgivings about ordering the Cordoba beige leather seats but they looked so sharp on the BRG spec I saw I couldn't pass them up. Plus I've read that they have improved the quality of the leather seats since the original MINIs. BTW, I'm Lois, my MINI is Louie. I'm a girl Just a baby boomer who won't grow up:smile:

Lois- thank you :smile:. I am really jealous that you have a mini meanwhile, to get you through the wait. My Honda Civic is not much consolation . If I read correctly, your current Cooper S is CR, right? What would be your thoughts of having the red tartan cloth seats with my CR MC? I ordered leatherette, but now that I can't order a body-colored dash ( ) I am wondering if I should spice it up with the seats.
Also, am already considering accessories to go with the car (mental note- must look at red handbags..... )
TGIF!!

Old cars... My volvo is about to die I think. it has plenty of miles on it, and my little brothers treated it like it was a brand new sports car. oh well. It still runs but im going to donate it to the kidney foundation. I will be without a car until my mini arrives. not a major problem, but once school starts, it will be more difficult. i will need to arrange rides until i have it.
I have a nice RED accessory for my PW / B mini!! its my Parking Permit for CAmpus! hot item 'round these parts...

That's the same week as mine. Well, I just called ask-mini, and mine is still
scheduled for week 36. Stinks.

merikk,
I have the cloth tartan red seats in Louie I think they are absolutely beautiful. With the CR is looks fantastic. You also get red on the door panels when you order tartan red. At least you did on the 03's You may want to configure a 04 MINI on MINIUSA. If you pick the tartan red it will show you what the interior looks like along with the red door panels. Good luck & happy weekend.

8/13 Update
Well, I broke down and phoned ASK-MINI myself for an up-date on my 749xxx/Week 37 "On Order" MCS and learned that it will likely move to "Scheduled for Production" next week, during Week 34. Not long after that I should receive my VIN. I was told that On Order cars usually move to Scheduled for Production status 3 weeks ahead of the specified (production) Week Number.

Hey folks, thought I should drop by and say hello. My MCS is already finished with production and on its way to Charleston. It docks August 21 however I won't see it for at least a few weeks after that, as it lands in South Carolina, then has to make its way to Ohio, and from there my dealer (Classic MINI) will have to get it shipped out to me in CA. Hopefully early to mid September - hence, I can't wait for September. Classes start up again on September 27 so my ultimate goal is to have it at the latest by Sept 20, so I can have a week to enjoy and baby it before I am inundated with work.
For the record, my production number was 74740xx, and I was a week 32 build, finished Aug 3, but took a week to get on a ship.
Nice to meet all of you and look forward to tracking all your progress.

Hey Mike, congrats on your Mini. You should have it in no time at all. What can you tell me about the AutoDim mirror and Universal Garage Door Opener. I ordered that for my MCS but I haven't been able to find out if the garage door buttons are on the mirror or separate. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Well everyone,
I've become MINI-less (sort of). We sold the Maxima today Which means we are down to the Miata(weekend car) & my Louie. Since hubby is becoming Louie's driver & needs more room for hauling work related things, the bottom line is I'm back to driving the Miata. Now I'm not complaining, but driving the Miata is not the same as driving the MINI. 6 weeks really seems like a long time now. C'mon October

Withdrawal
Sorry to hear about your withdrawal problem. Perhaps you could schedule a few test drives with your MA while you are waiting.
I have finally gotten started on my new MINI. I only need a few more parts and I should be on the road. So far I have 4 R90 wheels and the performance tires. Now if I just had something to attach them to.
Those who wait also serve.
Regards
Phil
