Anyone else just days away from taking delivery?

These last few days seem to be dragging even more than the last 2 months have!!

My black & white Cooper will be at the dealership tomorrow....I might have to go and peek at it I'm not taking delivery until Monday though because I already had a trip away planned for the weekend and my train tickets are already booked.

The last few days are driving me mad - I want to get my hands on it!

Pauline,

Know exactly what you mean, my Cooper arrived at the dealer this morning I'm so excited, I ordered it in January and it's been a VERY long wait.

I will pick it up Saturday but I'm off for a peak tonight Can't stop smiling - the next few days are really going to drag.

How I'm going to be of any use to anyone or get anything done over the next couple I days I don't know!

Fantastic! Let me know how it goes! The dealer said my Mini would be all dirty tomorrow so not to expect it to look gleaming when I go for a peek but I don't care - I just want to see it

Well, I went to see mine at the dealers last night and it was...... FANTASTIC!

The car had its personal plate on so I quickly spotted it - there it was, all new and waiting for me. I had a peek inside and it immediately felt like mine.

The dealer warned me it still had to be cleaned and was I sure I wanted to see it but I'm so pleased I did. I really feel my MINI adventure has begun.

Pauline, I hope you're as happy with your new baby as me.

United-Kingdom Ordered in November

Had an original delivery of September. Complained a lot and got a July 21st delivery date, this has now been brought forward to next Friday!!! Only down side, next weekend I am at a festival and will be too drunk to drive, the weekend after I am going to Stockholm so will be loaning the car out to friends. The weekend after that however when it returns to me already broken in...

I spent my money on beer, women and fast cars. The rest I just wasted - George Best

I saw my Cooper today!! He was all the dealership - a little dusty and grimy from his trip down from Oxford but looking fantastic all the same!

Roll on Monday morning

The only thing that's keeping me going over the weekend is that I'm seeing the Charlatans on Saturday night in Manchester!

Yep I am getting mine next week! I have only had to wait about 3/4 weeks - the original date was week beginning 21st but I am told it should be in the dealership next week.

I am a bit disappointed, sorry to hark on about this, but cos between myself and the dealer we left off the ASC. I also downgraded a couple of extras at the last minute, namely Visibility Pack, Boost and Xenons. I mean what is another £650 in the scheme of things eh?

Frustratingly though looks like I wont be able to pick the car up for another week cos I am away on business. D'Oh!! I feel a sickie coming on!

I wonder what production number yours was Pauline. Perhaps we have twins!!

When I visited my dealer yesterday he told me that the production date has been bumped up by 2 weeks. So instead of an late august/early september delivery it becomes a mid august delivery. YEAH BABY!

He told me I can't change anything on my specs, since it's going to be build next week
