I show up most often as a Guest to avoid the extra half minute to log in.

No MINI to show you all... yet. I'll be ordering mine in May. It's been a long time coming, but I know the next couple of months will fly by compared to the time between ordering and taking delivery!

Welcome to you too Aminiman

What spec are you thinking of ordering?

Hej på dig

You've been spying on me/us?

Actually I just happen to live in Stockholm. I'm from the UK.

Have you personally have seen the "Get Away in Stockholm" movies? They are fantastic! Better yet, get your MINI in there and personally send me the vid.

Yeah, I saw that when looking at your profile - should have done that first, but I'm not used to posing at all, so it'll take a while to get used to things.

Only two more days to go.... tic toc

le_knut · Mar 17th, 2006, 05:11 PM

just a thought - some of the guests may not be humans, but web crawlers. Or are they filtered?

But all human guests should definitely join, it's fun, even if you don't post very often (I don't...)

tom2005 · Mar 17th, 2006, 09:03 PM

I have been browsing through these forums for ages now!
Hello!

Test driving an S next month, if all goes well - ordering beginning of May

I have been in a couple now... I WANT ONE!

Hello tom & le knut

littlegreenthing · Mar 17th, 2006, 09:44 PM

Hello, all you happy Mini-motorists!
I've read your useful and friendly posts for several months now, and this thread has politely shamed me into actually registering.

I've admired Minis for over 10 years, since I saw my first one in Cornwall when on holiday. Only recently did I realise they'd been re-made for sale, and I started searching for one "just to test-drive" - I said.

Yeah - right - you can't just test-drive these things - they have to come home with you.

So, fortunately my very tall husband can fit into the car and happily drive it, otherwise I would have had a hard time talking him into it. Plus, it was a good deal, being only a year old.

So - we have a 2003 Silk Green Mini Cooper, Black roof - with sunroof, and several other odd bits of gadgetry I've not worked out yet. Everyone who sees it asks about where we got it and if we like it. I've seen about 6 different Minis around my part of town so far, so they are catching on. - - - - - however, not everybody here gets the concept of the "Mini wave". It's fun when they do, though.

No, I haven't named my car - or figured out a gender. But it is still loved.

Hello ex-guests, welcome to MINI2.

Welcome tom2005 and littlegreenthing

Thanks for coming out of the closet

Hey, another one... welcome littlegreenthing

Bese1983 · Mar 18th, 2006, 01:30 PM

Hello Everyone!

Just registered.

I've been looking around here for a few months now.
After years of whaiting, I got my dark silver/white MCS about a month and a half ago (2005 built, bought it as 9months old with 28000km in it). Will post specs and pic later.

I too usually use the stealth method of viewing as a guest but no more; I'm out now and will log in every time. xx

Hi to all the new members

Aminiman · Mar 19th, 2006, 01:57 AM

KPKalle

Here's the spec I'm thinking of:
Cooper S
Space Blue
Checkmate Package (DSC, 17" Flame Spoke Wheels, Anthracite Headliner, Silver Roof & Mirror Caps, Front & Rear Foglights, Checkmate Interior)
Premium Package (Chrome Line Interior, Sunroof, Auto Dimming Mirror, Rain Sensing Wipers, Heated Seats)
HK Stereo Package
MFSW, Xenons, heated windhield washers, heated mirrors are standard in Canada

And **Maybe** JCW. I'm on the fence with that one. I like the fact that it'd be under warranty, and there's almost no chance that I'd do any after market mods after the initial purchase.

Oh! And I'll need an iPod adaptor as well.

insane*mini · Mar 19th, 2006, 02:47 AM

That sounds like my car I was wishing to purchase! Good luck, and I bet you'll love it!

-Cody

Aminiman · Mar 19th, 2006, 07:24 PM

Was wishing to purchase? Why didn't you, if you don't mind me asking?

I'm 100% positive I'll love it. It's the waiting that's hard!
