Our 3rd MINI!!!

So now it's official. I've just ordered my MINI and it's our 3RD!! Ordered our 1st ('04 MCS CR/W) in Nov '03, "Audrey" arrived Feb 11, 2004. Specc'ed out as our then 14 yr old wanted as it would be hers when she started driving. In April 2004 we ordered our 2nd for hubby ('04 MCS JB/JB) "Bagheera" arrived July 16 2004.

Now the teenager is driving Audrey and I need a car. Can't drive Bagheera cuz he's all fitted up as USTCC #58 and barely street legal. So what do I get? Another MINI of course. I can't imagine driving anything else. Don't have a name for sure yet but here are her speccs:

'06 MCS
Purple Haze/White
White S-lites
White bonnet stripes
Black/grey leatherette (I wanted space cloth, but it's disc )
Alloy Patina dash
6 speed manual
LSD
Sport Pkg
Harmon Kardon


That's about it. Not too fancy. I know what bits I wanted and what I didn't, so it was easy. The tough part was the color.

So the waiting begins. I can't believe I'm putting myself through this madness for the 3rd time, but at the same time I'm thrilled.

Ordered through Classic in Ohio and I got their last April production slot. So I guess I'm looking at May/June delivery.

C'mon all you other April production folks...I know you're out there. Let's hear from you.

Moderator: We need other colors on the icons. What about the 05 and 06 colors out there???? Pleeeeaase.
