United-Kingdom I've ordered MCS for January!

Hello everyone, this is my first post!

On Saturday I ordered my MCS and was able to get delivery for January. I think it's a cancelled order, but is the exact spec I want:

Dark silver with black roof
Chili pack
Auto air-con
CD Player
Multi-function steering wheel

Can't wait!

Am I right in thinking that the multi-function wheel adds cruise control?

Welcome !


Nice car you have ordered. I tool delivery of a DS/DS MCS with same spec in October and still love driving the car....

You are correct - the MFS wheel does also include cruise control. Its nice to have on motorways but to be honest I hardly use it!
Have fun when the car arrives!

MFSW query: yes it certainly does... oh and welcome onboard to MIN2. i think your going to make quite a few people fairly envious by circumventing the waiting period, but then again good for you. most of the cancelled orders i saw i didnt like the colours so youre quite lucky in many respects.

The dealer has another MCS available for January delivery in Electric Blue with White roof. Rest of the spec was the same as mine. www.chandlersworthingmini.co.uk.

My wife was not keen on the EB so we went for the DS.

Another quick question:

I've never driven a car with Xenon's. How much better are they than normal Mini halogens?

Cheers!

Forget my last question - just used the search facility and found some useful comments on Xenons. Looks like they are pretty good!

We ordered our DS/B MCS on Oct 18 and got it Dec 5. I couldnt believe how quick Lloyds in Carlisle got the car. And that was ordering from scratch off the street, no cancelled orders.
I`m wondering if its to do with the size of the dealership, as apparently Lloyds MINI is the largest dealership/showroom in the country.
Anyway, enjoy it when it comes. Its worth the wait.

Dark Silver/Black MCS (Carlisle) - Now Stopped Drooling..............Now sitting in Lloyds MINI very cherished dept!!

Minnie Mouse is all that is left.......
