Dont worry Vic, you get to hear that from me now for another 2 and a half months

If I were you Daniel, Id probably be camped out from of your dealer in a tent with a little campfire all ready to go

poki · Apr 15th, 2004, 04:31 PM

Between you and Scotty you have both inspired me to work out how long I spent waiting for my baby. Check out the new sig

I actually enjoyed the whole waiting game, although I was pretty much a lurker here at the time I still managed to drive everyone around me crazy with the order tracking. Meanwhile, I was having a ball.

Have a great MINI day! Expect to have to deal with a sore face cause there is nothing that will wipe the permanent grin from it!

Smurfn · Apr 15th, 2004, 08:50 PM

What? Not awake yet? Or are you down at the dealers already?

Good luck and enjoy today.

enzothemaddog · Apr 15th, 2004, 10:45 PM

Take a towel when you go pick it up, you'll probably have huge anxiety and sweats right before you 2 meet!......then all your woes will be forgotten.
Have fun mate!

Your making this sound like a farwell, you can't possibly drive for 24 hours a day ( although I know your going to try) so you will be back on the boards. Have you heard the saying "There's no such thing as a free lunch" well pay back time

We all know you have spent the biggest part of the last 17 weeks glued to the Site, so that makes you something of an expert. So now we will call on you as the "Knower of all things MINI" for our personal technical questions to be answered. I'd like to start the ball rolling by asking for a blow by blow account of how to wash and detail my MINI.

Just kidding mate, what a fantastic day for you. It will probably be about a week before you read this, if your not driving it you'll be cleaning it or staring at it.

PS get your self some "Deep Heat" and rub it in your jaw line, it eases the pain on the GRIN MUSCLES enjoy

play fife · Apr 15th, 2004, 11:59 PM

Thanks guys, i just woke up from a great 8 hour sleep.

Going down to the dealers around 11am.........only 3 hours until i lay eyes on him.

Nah guys, ill be back on the boards, im on mini2.com EVERY single day, no matter if i have a MINI or not, its my life now. lol

Daniel

Ps: I hope that grin doesnt hurt me.

I'll update this theard with some photos later today, after i have a longgg drive.

Damn the 2000k run-in period, no reving over 4500.

lol

maybe a few times hey. lol

ScottyB · Apr 16th, 2004, 12:14 AM

You actually slept! And 8 hours! I havent had that much in years

gazah · Apr 16th, 2004, 12:33 AM

i remember i was a little late picking up my S as the late-80s pintara [with broken petrol guage] i was trading ran out of petrol half-way along the M2!

only a 10 minute delay though, thanks to those helpful motorway patrol crews!

damn I must have just missed you - I went down at about 10am to pick up my car from it's "fortnightly warranty work visit" and saw your car out the back, ready to toll and waiting for you

I was thinking "what's the story here?! I'd be down here at bloody 8am picking that thing up!" hahahaha

Anyway, you're probably doing the paperwork as I type this. Enjoy mate, the car looked brill

minigolf · Apr 16th, 2004, 04:09 AM

Damn the 2000km run in period ... won't that be over by Monday?

I'll be disappointed if I haven't knocked up 1500km after my first weekend.

Enjoy Daniel ... lucky bugger!

Cheers Liam
