Only 4 hours to go and my lovely new DS/B S is available for collections.

5 months of waiting and now she is mine...all mine!
(Laughs manically, strokes fluffy white cat on lap)

Very very very excited.

An early congratulations to you! Hang in there and please post some pics of your ride once you find the time!

Have a few trips planned and suddenly found that I have the 'must have' car amongst my friends. One wants to swap his brand new BMW M3 for a few days so he can think about getting an MCS as well..........

Totally steaming with excitement now - it's coming out of my ears. I'll post lots of pics of "Marmite" as soon as I can

Congratulations on your new arrival, and weclome to MINI2.

I'm interested to know if you have the revised pedals (metal) and steering wheel (thumb grips) on the car?

gave you my passport photo?
Where did you get it? Eh? Where?
I demand an immediate response otherwise I will be forced to fry Wigan with my giant orbital space laser.

DS/B V.NICE BUT WHAT OPTIONS DID YOU GO FOR?

A confidental informant gave it to me:

Here is one of his cohorts plotting to sabotage your MCS even before you take delivery!

Laughed my buttocks off........
In reply to the other post I went for:

Chili
White Lights
Headlamp washers
Sunroof
Xenon stuff (i think in Chili)
6 CD Multichanger
Tinted Windows (boy racer or male menopause - you decide)
DSC
Extra airbags
ermmmm, I think everything bar satnav.

Nearly went for the sideskirts and extra oil/battery guages but realised it would take me over £20K and that seemed mad.

Whatever I got it cost me £18,250, but worth every penny!

(One hour to go!

Hope you got your little beauty ok !

Good to see someone as excited as I am on getting their new 'S'
Sadly I've still got 2 months to wait

Let us all know just 'how' thrilling it is

You probably won't see this post till next year as you'll be too busy having MINI 'S' fun

P.S. If you've got an 'S' check out this months issue of CAR magazine as it came 4th out of 20 in their performance car of the year showdown
