The saga of waiting begins again ...

Only kidding

I ordered a MCS in Astro Black with White Roof yesterday - could only get into a standard S, not that that's a bad thing.

Traded XMINIX in - didn't get much.

So the waiting begins. It looks like an October build with December/January delivery.

Oh yes, the search for mods is about to begin again.

Cheers
Chris

PS: Anyone interested in a set of XMINIX custom Vic plates?

Ha ha cool

If you like teckie stuff, Jan delivery would be better (or January compliance to be more correct) as that will mean OBD II will be enabled so you can plug in a reader and see all the cool real time engine management info like water temp, manifold pressure, calculated load, fuel trim etc etc You'll need an OBD II reader though

Doesn't sound silly. Sounds a perfectly rational and measured decision (As is anything MINI)

Congratulations Chris

Thought you were up to something Chris

Congrats mate you know my car, so you can have an "evaluation" of my mods if you'd like?

The new S will be in wife's name, and we have a set of personal plates for her SLC-72.

Thanks all for you kind words.

My only problem is that I cannot do any mods until the new one arrives.

Congrats Chris, Astro black is the slightly bluish metallic yeah?

You and Mark can form a little black & white club

So how does it end up in your wifes name? That aint cool! Means you will have to fight her for it.

XMINIX has to stay in your family... it is your trademark!

What will we call you then you're XMINIX!?! And everyone will know you have upgraded

I take it you went to DMG? Or did you go to Motorline again?

Sometimes it's easier that way - we have decided to reduce number of cars way pay registration for each year, so it's her daily.

No way, my wife does not like Autos - our ex-4WD was a manual by her request.

Haha, cool, I could have that plate.

S for MCS
LC for my initials
72 for my year of birth

Cool - so now you have to sit back and wait for it...

Did you get any options on it?
