    Just Ordered Mine as Well

    Aloha from Hawai‘i! I just ordered my FIRST MINI!! I have been sniffing around for years and finally took the plunge. I reserved a White Countryman with Black Bonnet stripes,Pan Sunroof, Black Wheels, and Nav system. Didn't need the Nav system (how far can you go on an island?) but since the car is already on a boat from California I decided to grab it. Should be here by Thanksgiving. BTW, my other car is a 1970 VW Beetle Convertible we restored before moving here. Now we have two fun and gloriously impractical cars.

    Fortunately my 21 year-old son moves to the mainland in June 2013 so only a few months of "Can I borrow your keys?

    It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas for Mr Jim!

    Now go out and talk nice to the Rover so she holds together for the last bit. :fingerscrossed:

    Light White, sport seats, xenons, sunroof, auto for the Mrs :) black alloy wheels, Bluetooth is standard on the 13's, Carbon black with Pure Red color line. Fogs, rear spoiler. Pretty much basic C-Man for what it will be used for, basically my DD winter vehicle to replace my Rover. Should go into production Monday.

    Congrats!! I love my black wheels. They don't show the brake dust as much and for me I wash it once a week so no big deal. Hopefully getting rid of my stocks for some Vossen 19's soon.

    Wonderful news indeed Mr. Jim, and pretty fast delivery. Hope it is a great fit for the household. We are nearly 100% acclimated to our CM and that didn't take long! Like your Rover, our 95 Previa is wondering what the retirement plan is....

    Jim, We can understand both your excitement and anxiety. Our twins (CM and Roadster) also arrived via Taiko in May. You will be elated when he/she arrives. Both its appearance and performance are awesome. Best wishes!
