Well I did it

Nobody probably recognizes me, 'cause I'm a board lurker by nature, but...

I ordered a 2011 MINI Cooper S on Monday, so I'm excited about that.

British Racing Green II Black Roof, Mirrors and 16" Split Six-Spoke Wheels (All-Seasons, figure they're runflats, I'll need serious rubber eventually anyway... these can be my three-seasons) Auto Air Armrest Anthracite Headliner Heated Mirrors and Washer Nozzles Bluetooth and USB/iPod

Anyway, pretty excited. Trying to stay calm while I wait the interminable 6-8 weeks. The dealer was able to modify a previously allocated Justa, so maybe it'll get here a little sooner? First new car I've ever bought, so... the grand adventure begins.

Congrats! I drove the Sis-in-law's S a few years back. Fun ride.

I see you have a Fiat, congrats on the addition of fun with the Mini

Congrats - They're nice cars with a unique driving experience. A breath of fresh air in todays NVH insulated market.

Coolio! Keep us posted. Sounds like a peach.

Be sure to post a picture when she arrives. Sounds pretty.

I thought I was going to be cool and not start obsessing while I waited... well, that's lasted about 48 hours. Its the workday that gets me. Get just a little bored, then BOOM -- MINI thoughts!

Argh, its status is only "ON ORDER". This is going to a challenge.
