Finally picked ours up today, a week later than planned as had the wrong interior trims fitted at the factory.

Despite this loving it so far.

D/S, black roof/mirrors
Chilli
Climate
Nav/TV
Bluetooth
R108's
CD Changer
Dark glass
Heated leather
Park distance

and a few more things probably forgotten.

Will get round to posting pictures eventually.

Is MINI crazy for making me wait this long to take delivery??? Well, no matter. I placed my deposit back in October of '06, and today, I finally picked it up

. After six months of waiting impatiently and frantically tracking, the day has come. My MA, Rich Tran at Herb Chambers MINI in Boston, was the best! Since the beginning, he had been very patient with all the additions to my options list, helpful with inside info, and enthusiastic about the whole thing. Because of him and Kerry, the manager, my purchase experience has been very fun and pleasant. If you're in New England, I highly recommend them . Now, on to my MINI.

I was one of the few that was in the first batch of Sat Navs in the US. Many of the issues that were brought up by Europeans on other forums have been solved, such as split screen now showing map and arrow directions simultaneously. There is no British accent, but there is both a man and woman's voice, depending on what you're doing. The voice control is soo convenient! There were many times when I got frustrated with using the joystick to do things that I just used voice control for it instead. So far, I've found the voice control to control the functions of the Sat Nav, radio, cd, basically everything in entertainment. The manual that the Sat Nav comes with is very VERY basic in instructions, so you will have to just play around with it. It's actually fairly easy to get the hang of it, but the hard part is finding where every function is. There needs to be a site map of some kind! I took a 5 min. video of the Nav and voice control in use, and as soon as I edit it down to a postable size, will provide the link here.

So my specs, again, are as follows:
-Pepper White/Black roof/Black Bonnet Stripes
-Premium Package
-Sport Package
-Cold Weather Package
-Sat Nav
-White Turn Signals
-Rear Fog Lamps
-Chromeline Exterior
-Piano Black dash
-Cream Colorline
And soon to come - Driving Lamps, tinted windows, custom roof graphics!

My first day impressions were Wow this thing’s fast! I was going 80 before I knew it. The seats were very comfortable, and the headrest was the perfect height. I liked my secret compartment! The NOISELESS sunroof was so big, I felt like I was in a convertible! There was no turbo lag! *breathless* Just a joy to drive !

Enough typing – here are some pics. And stay tuned tomorrow for pics AND VIDEOS of the Sat Nav and lights at night !!!
