I will give the written report but I can't help with the pictures.
I'm going to take my time and maybe even my recorder so I can record my thoughts as I am going through the test drive. I'm really looking forward to it! 40% chance of rain on Saturday. I'm hoping it will be dry when I drive it and trust me I will DRIVE it. I am not afraid to GET ON IT and will do so. Lets face it that is the only way to ensure that he car is everything that it should be.
So the drive is scheduled for 12:00 on Saturday. By the time the drive is over and the wife and I go eat a late breakfast I anticipate I will be home by 3 pm or so. I'll get my thoughts together and put them in writing on this channel.
This should be fun.
I don't expect it to be like my GTO in terms of acceleration but I do have some pretty high expectations of this car. So I will try and be very objective.
I'll make the comparison against my MCS.

Well I'm finally catching up!!
Body Shop on Wednesday - Paint Shop today!
So much for getting that order in right away!
I just hope when they painted it they put a silver roof on it. If they did, and the MINI USA configuration only allows white silver with black - it could be a one of a kind! Now I guess THAT is worth waiting for! I hope to be on a boat next week and here in time for a long weekend wedding in New Hampshire. Man will it be fun up there on the twisties!!

I'm attending a huge MINI meet this weekend and there will be a guy with an MCS Coupe who just bought it and won't officially own it until the 1st. I'm glad for him but it will suck seeing someone else with a Coupe who bought off the lot when I've been waiting for months since they announced the launch date.

Ask him "Hey did your build pretty much have everything you wanted?"
When he replies back with "Pretty much but I wish it had.. XXXX" You rub it in his face that you are getting it :P
I'm evil..

Wow! they really know how to churn cars out!
Well I'm quite surprised! When I called ASK-MINI this morning, my car is now finished and being transported to port of exit. I'm hopeful I can get on the Elektra that sails October 2. I'm amazed and impressed at how quickly the process goes once you actually hit production. I feel for everyone still waiting, and know we will all be having the time of our life once we get behind the wheel!
