Hi Jim & Puck.

Maryann--Yeah, I like the idea of knowing my car hasn't been test driven.

Hi Shane!

Little depressed tonight. Thinking an S would make me feel better.

It'll come soon enough.

I wouldn't worry about other people driving it, it's a tough little car.

I must say, though, I enjoyed speccin' my own car and the anticipation was exciting. Mini2 helped with the waiting time.

Also, I know the facelift may not be everyone's cup of tea, (or coffee), but MINI have been listening to feedback and are making continuous improvements to bodywork, electronics, mechanicals, etc. Mine is a 03 and with just a quick glance over 04's, I have seen some subtle but welcome improvements.

Whatever you decide, enjoy the MCS purchasing experience.

Does anyone have any more info on when exactly the facelifted tin tops are out? We are seriously thinking of an S for Sandra and TBH I would prefer a non face lift..... Unless there is a black red leather seat option coz in that case I would wait...
