Hi, I've been drooling over this site for a while now ever since I ordered my s. I said I'd hold off the posting until I got the car...

Well guess what...

She's just arrived in fresh off the transporter 2 hours ago! So now I'm gonna make this place my new home when I'm not cruising and paying some tlc of my own to the mini!

Any Irish on here know of any other Laser Blues in the south east yet?

Had such a long wait... ordered in mid November. Collecting it on Friday from Bolands Waterford. I absolutley cannot wait, fit to burst... can't wait to set those heads turning!

I got the half lether pacific blue on the seats, I thought I was getting the interior trim to match but hey standard silver is the job.

What do you guys think?

These are the dealers pics... I'll get the Canon EOS 350D out and take some nice pice and post them then....

Welcome to MINI2, your new car looks great

simonkin · Jan 24th, 2007, 04:45 PM

Thanks,

Tonight and tomorrow are never gonna end...

I want it now!

I'm tempted to sneak into the compound with my sleeping bag and sleep with her tonight! - Only messin!

Whats the jealousy factor like on the laser blue? How many acts of vandalism am I likely to incur? Broken windows etc...

Its my biggest fear... well apart from the drive into town in the mornings, out in the middle of nowhere, pothole country and muck laden country roads.. damn farmers...

Ah well, my Sundays are goin to be tied up cleaning her and keeping here pristine... Is there any need for the toothbrush on the engine bay?!

That looks brilliant!! Not meaning to rub it in, but the last few days really are the very worst. But, when you see it all ready and prep'd, its a great feeling!!!

I ordered in August... and I just got a production number on the 2nd of January. No build week scheduled as of yet.

The FIRST of the North American cars won't be getting in until late February. I'm assuming mine will be March or ealy April! And you're antsy after a 2 month wait!?!

Yes, I'm just a bit jelous...
