Just thought I'd rant about how I envy all of you who have your mini. It will be a long while til I can afford mine

Save up all of your pennies , they amount to dollars ultimately. Takes time and patience, some day you will have one. .Thats how most of us got ours.!

I, on the other hand, married someone with money.

Well - you are not the only one. There are some owners in the same boat who waited a LONG time to get their first MINI too... But Welcome to NAM. You'll have fun in here while you wait...

Envy... it's one of the 7 deadly sins, but it's okay in this case.

Seriously... 14 months ago, I didn't have any MINIs either. See how fast things can happen ?

Ditto!

I'm still waiting. It was released to a transportation truck Thursday or Friday of last week. Still no sign of it at the dealership. Waiting sucks!!!

You're definitely not alone, Brontobuffy.... I'm still saving every little bit of extra cash that comes my way... hoping to finally get one some time in the next year

I've wanted one for four years, and finally pulled the trigger last month.

Actually, since ordering and knowing it is coming, and knowing they booked mine on one boat over the pond but loaded it on a different (later, slower) boat, these four weeks of waiting have been more painful than the previous four years, so the stage you're at Brontobuffy, you're OK!

Roll on Aug 15th-17th!!
