you (un)lucky people!

There's going to be so many shiny new Minis on the road this weekend. I'm going to have to get mine gleaming so i don't feel inferior.

Rich-UK · Feb 25th, 2003, 07:53 PM

I'm picking up my gleaming new IB/W MCS on Sat, getting a little excited now, having waited since June last year!

Martin L · Feb 25th, 2003, 08:23 PM

Nobody as it's going to be "03"

oldnell · Feb 25th, 2003, 08:34 PM

Nobody this Saturday, but on 1st of March 2013, you'll be able to pick up a 13 reg.

Brushy · Feb 25th, 2003, 08:43 PM

It sure as hell don't take long for people to realise a mistake.

Hat you should check your diary, are you sure your away for the Heartbeat Run?

Dropped my car off at the dealer this morning and had a look at the 03 plates all lined up ready and waiting. A very nice indy blue cooper works was there (although still not totally convinced by the Scottish Flag as it looks a slightly different colour). Only problem was they were filthy. I would have been a bit upset if I'd gone to look at my new car and it was dusty and had been attacked by those pesky seagulls

Oh well at least I'll mine clean tonight.

beleive me i was gutted when i realised i was going to be away. I have to be in Italy for monday morning which means flying out of manchester about lunchtime on sunday.

I was all set for this & reading all your exited posts about how many cars are now going isn't helping!

DartmoorCooperS · Feb 27th, 2003, 08:10 AM

Yep...03 MCS for me on Saturday...infact, I take delivery on Friday, and even get to drive it back from the dealers on their trade plates. Then I have to park it on my driveway and count the minutes 'til midnight. Probably spend most of the evening sitting in it making brrrrrm brrrrrm noises!

Hat · Feb 27th, 2003, 08:20 AM

what you need is to drive it to somewhere that has a rolling road, then you can have it run in ready at midnight!

freedee · Feb 27th, 2003, 08:20 AM

11am Saturday morning picking up silver/black cooper with silver/ black union jack and then driving around all day not sure where but who cares

DartmoorCooperS · Feb 27th, 2003, 08:29 AM

nice thought Hat - I figure that if I break it in with a long run undercover of darkness, it'll be foot to the floor by daybreak and I'll just be a blue blur

Prowse · Feb 27th, 2003, 08:37 AM

Picking up my black/black Cooper on Saturday - they're putting Cooper S side skirts on it for me in the morning, so it won't be ready until 12:00.

Bullett · Feb 27th, 2003, 10:15 AM

gah, don't get mine till July and I'm excited already.
Starting to get on the girlfriends nerves!

SoggyCornFlakes · Feb 27th, 2003, 12:52 PM

I'm jelous guys, it's only six months since I got mine and boy was it exciting seeing it parked on my drive. Must get a new one soon

Happy motoring and join us on some runs with your shiny new MINIs

Mini Martyn · Feb 27th, 2003, 01:01 PM

Yeeeee Haaaaa, i get mine on Saturday to at 9.30am, Silver, with black roof and tinted windows, mine wont be showing the "03" reg as my personal plate will be on it! I got a sneaky look at it on Tuesday when it eas getting the windows tinted looks amazing!! Roll on Saturday!!!

matt_s · Feb 27th, 2003, 03:02 PM

swines the lot of you! I am waiting until april to pick up my 03.

DartmoorCooperS - you getting yours from Ocean Plymouth? If so how did you find them?

DartmoorCooperS · Feb 27th, 2003, 04:04 PM

hi matt_s
Yes, Ocean Plymouth are supplying my Cooper S - interesting you ask how I find them...do you know something that I don't?

As a matter of fact, I'm reserving judgement on them. I've heard a view dodgy things about the BMW side - a friend of mine was so fed up with their service dept that she takes her 3 series convertible an extra 30 miles to Ocean in Torbay. Last time I was at the showroom - waiting for their business manager (who was half an hour late for my appointment....hmmm!) - there was a guy going absolutely ballistic about recurrent problems with his new 5 series. All a bit worrying.

That said, I'm presently so delighted that they are delivering the car to me a day early that I will forgive almost anything. Anyway, only time will tell...watch this space.

Bad luck about the wait until April. If it makes you feel any better, I ordered my MCS on the 10 June 02 (I was their first test driver). With hindsight I should have tried a few other dealers with a better allocation against their local demand. Anyway, I guess the anticipation is half the fun.

ZedsDed · Feb 27th, 2003, 04:16 PM

Pick up my sparkly silver/black Cooper at 8am Saturday, along with my friend who's picking up her blue/white Coop at the same time

Can't wait

matt_s · Feb 27th, 2003, 04:51 PM

hi dartmoor

I was only wondering because I haven't heard anything about them in the good/bad dealers section. I think I am probably just worrying in the wait

The service I had from them was great, they all were more than happy to help - I know it's their job but they seemed more down to earth than other car dealers I went to before testing the mini

Plus I have the record of the most to get off them on (which isn't that much!)

If they are crappy I am now living in Cheltenham so have Cotswold MINI which have had both very good and very poor comments about them!

Have fun with your new mini and don't forget to post some pics!
