    Congratulations! The same thing happened to me. They had one on the lot with more options than the one I designed and was also cheaper.

    It feels good driving it home the same day, rather than waiting for it to come in on a ship, doesn't it?

    Thanks for all the thumbs up! I am still coming to terms with the fact that I finally own a MINI. This was 6 months in the planing. I still crack a smile when I approach it in the parking garage at work. :)

    Now I have to stop driving it long enough to start planning the initial mods. My Platypus front plate mount is on it's way. Then on to stripes (wide rally I'm thinking)...tinting...Gauges... Can't forget the performance...

    My wife thinks that now that I have my MINI this process is done. :D
