Grub - You must be glad that your car is here! Do you appreciate it more than any other car that you have owned (and has the wait contributed to that in any way? ;-)

Yes I am glad it is finally here but the wait was fun too. Tracking the order always gave me something related to the MINI to do - and you get really good at typing in the 17 digits - after a while it is burned into your memory. (My dealer said I was the first customer she had that knew their 17 digit VIN off by heart.)

I sold my old car today - had it 14 years (Mazda 121 bubble) which was really sad. It was a great little car and in some ways very similar to the MINI - but of course the MINI is heaps better - handles so well, it feels much more solid - and has lots of electric automatic bits which are a bit of a novelty... I am really chuffed with the MINI so far.

Have fun tracking your order - the wait will be over before you know it!!
