Hi, all,

I, too, would like to join, although my baby won't be here for another month or so. On order and scheduled for production week 12.

OB/W, premium package, bonnet stripes, fog lights, leatherette.

New to posting, too. Need to figure out how do download the images to the signature space at the bottom. Any tips would be helpful. Back to 1st Gear to learn more ...

Thanks, gokartride!

Hmmm. Not sure I'm following you. I checked the FAQ page, loaded an image--a badge. BUT, I can't figure out how to get to "User CP>Edit" to load the image or a thumbnail. "Bumfuzzled" as the expression goes ...

Eternity is an understatement gokartride...I'm going through every piece of paper I have making sure all is ordered as DESIRED!!
I will be calling AskMINI again today and maybe my MA as well to Double Check my preferences.
OCD and ANXIOUS!!!

Very nice!!! Are you going to put graphics on it like your Pepper White? I've thought several times that I would like to have a hibiscus in O2 Blue on Blue Belle's roof.

I saw a classic Mini once that had sky and puffy clouds on the roof of their (close to OB) Mini....a variation of OB/W.

I like that idea! You could even add an airplane to the sky.

Don't like this speculation either. I was hoping to get an '09 50th anniversary (whatever they do for it) OB MC. If they discontinue the color my '06 R50 maybe getting a paint job.

Hi, gokartride,

I figured out how to add the stuff into the signature. Missed it earlier, but at the top left menu list, you'll see "User CP," "My Gallery" and "Sig-o-Matic." I pulled the badge into the signature, through User CP (hopefully, it will appear below). Will check out Photbucket, too, to compare.

Thanks!

Congrats, Phil! I know you're thrilled. I like sbaker's idea for the roof, too.

Enjoy! I'm envious, but will have my "MINI fix" before May, I hope.

Just an Update!! Molly is scheduled to be completed tomorrow (3/05). The wait has been Killing Me, but I can FINALLY see the 'Light at the End of the Tunnel'. I'm hoping and praying that she gets aboard Trianon on 3/10 for her 3 Week Cruise to Port Hueneme, CA and an Early April Delivery.

I agree! Waiting for our babies is tough. Molly's a great name. I've been thinking of names for my baby. Many thougths, but nothing confirmed, yet.

Maybe "Skye" for the color. To those from across the pond, I thought of this one last night. "OB One Kenobi" ...

I started a week 12 support group in the 1st Gear forum, for any of you OB buyers--or any other Mini buyers-- who fall into this group. Will track our babies' homecomings there.

'Night all, and good "MINI" dreams (I look forward to sleeping, again, later this spring).

I know this wait is going to kill me. I haven't been this excited since I bought my first house ...

It's this Web site, I'm tellin' ya. It's made for obsessive/compuslives ... Ya think? I so fit the bill ...

Good question! Everyone is asking us that. At the moment we think we may have a Norwegian theme = Trolls. Specifically Moomins. They like the color blue.

Check this site out. http://www.cafepress.com/minibee/4335491

Oxygen Blue Owners Count Down....
I've had this thought, how many of US there actually are and since there are 31 pages to this thread I was NOT going to sit here and count everyone who has posted at least once.
So...I was wondering if we could all count down to get an accurat count of how many of us there are. Just add a # to the list and your name if you would like, City & State would be COOL too. K??

That's OK! I think you have to use the "Quote" button (Lower Right). Thanks for adding yourself.
I just checked on Molly she is in the paint shop scheduled to be completed today or tomorrow!! Hopefully will be able to board the Trianon on Monday 3/10 for 3 week cruise across the Pond.

Good Luck with your new Baby, the wait will be a killer, but it will be TOTALLY worth it.
