Picking it up today
R56 MCS CR/W

I got to take some pre-pre-delivery pics yesterday

A few things;
The new exhaust is HUGE = awesome
The burshed aluminium interior has a really nice texture to it, well worth the extra $$
I love the little touches, like the MINI logo in the rear indicators, LOL
Today is going so slowly though, I have to wait till 4pm to pick it up *sigh*

p.s. I love the "DON'T OPEN" sticker

mamba · Apr 12th, 2007, 11:57 PM

All the best for the delivery! It is Friday the 13th you know

poki · Apr 13th, 2007, 12:05 AM

Happy MINI Day Mil

Can't wait to meet it, whats its name?

Paul_T · Apr 13th, 2007, 12:15 AM

bugiz · Apr 13th, 2007, 01:14 AM

Keep us up to date, and it goes without saying.. more pics!!! =D

Looks great! Hope you have a great wknd running it in (restraining yourself)

!!!

AndrewH · Apr 13th, 2007, 02:51 AM

Good stuff

Michael · Apr 13th, 2007, 03:18 AM

Congrats, good to have someone else in a '56 around here.
She looks great, I'm jealous of your chrome no. plate strip, I still aint got mine!

As for the exhaust, I've had a few people ask me what I've got. They are surprised to hear that it is the standard system.

Black Lounge Leather seats too....verrry nice.

Thanks all
It looks like the finance company are going to be absolute *$%&(#'s and not finalise the details today.....which they assured me they would.

So I won't be picking it up today. (What was that about friday the 13th?)

The lounge seats are so comfortable, I sat in it for a while before getting back in my car and I felt like I was sitting on a milk crate. Ok, that was an exageration, but you get the idea.
Chrome line looks great too, I can't imaging a CR without it honestly.

Don't worry about the pics, there will be plenty to come, and hopefully some video.
As soon as the pricks from finance finalise *sob*

Michael · Apr 13th, 2007, 05:37 AM

What a pain in the asre! It's gonna be one looong weekend now.

bugiz · Apr 13th, 2007, 06:11 AM

All the best mate with the finance ****s (male reproductive organ). hehe
Oh, you could see a Sparkling Silver in the reflection of your car window. That got me excited.

Yeah, there was a silver cooper S ready for pre-delivery there as well.
I'm pretty sure it was dark silver though

Basically Esanda put the enging no. as the rego number. SO now I have to wait at least till monday to get it. f#%$ing useless *******s

85NIXMIN · Apr 13th, 2007, 08:16 AM

Grrr that would be very annoying!

ALD0 · Apr 13th, 2007, 08:34 AM

Car looks excellent, shame about the financing messing up, still summit to look forward to

MiniMiL · Apr 15th, 2007, 10:52 AM

OK, so they worked things out and I got a call on saturday morning that I could pick him up!!

I've spend most of the weekend cruising around and I couldn't be happier with it. We'll maybe if I could push it harder....

More pics and thoughts to come, stay tuned
