Well its been a long wait but finally the mini arrived at the dealership on Monday, given reg number and organised insurance.....wettin meself with anticipation by now...arranged to pick it up on Friday for my long weekend off....Money in bank and ready to go ....

Feelin good about life I thought I'd take up badminton again after about a 20 year break.....

Warmed up, won the first point and after 15 mins ... O U C H ! ! ! !
Somethin went in the Calf ....Hospital....torn muscle...no drivin for you chummy, not for 2 weeks...how do I feel right now ??? can't walk too well, ice pack constantly..

Missus is stoked though, she gets a new car to play with and a cripple as a passenger....

Still, the suns shining, no work for 2 weeks, and if she wants that car she'll be workin hard for it....get me fetch me style....

Hope you all have a super weekend....

Just gotta say, Jeb, you've got a great attitude!

swamos · Mar 20th, 2003, 11:26 AM

What can I say, GET WELL SOON BEFORE THE MISSUS WEARS YOUR CAR OUT!!!

Or worse, she refuses to give it back

Make lemonade out of those lemons!

While your wife is driving you around, you can peruse the manual and play with all the fun features of your new car!

Mini Mims · Mar 21st, 2003, 12:16 AM

I soooo feel for you. A couple years back, I ordered a Gary Fisher Sugar 1 mountainbike. I had to order it because dealers just don't carry bikes in size small. I took me almost 3 months to get it. Two days before my bike comes in, I go out for a last ride on the old one and broke 2 ribs. My brand-new, shiney Sugar sat in my living room for almost five months before I could ride it. I just had to look at it every day knowing I couldn't ride.

So, look on the bright side. It could have been months instead of weeks.

Jeb33 · Mar 21st, 2003, 12:29 AM

Thanks for all your thoughts and ideas......

Leg loads better but she that will drive the car first insists I shouldn't chance it til I'm truely better in case I have to stab the brake hard in an emergency etc...

Will continue to enslave her services if she insists I don't drive...

Will get aquainted with A/C, Stereo and will use interior mirror to see if it really does auto dip....she don't use it anyway...but it would mean letting her out in the dark..hmmm maybe not..

Will select my tunes for the off....but she has overall control on that dam MFSW...who thought that would have been a pain...

Have seen the car today...all covered in delivery goo...but ooooo so nice....blasted leg of mine...

Can't think of a better tonic though to help me get well, that new car smell....just hope shes up to the job and it don't turn to the smell of fear...

Thanks again all

If you have all this time on your hands and your wife fancies a drive, why don't you hook up with 90 other MINI's this weekend on the heartbeat run

Hehe I play badminton (did yesterday) Just hope I dont do the same as you b4 I get mine!

I sprained my wrist 20mins b4 I was due to go a bowling alley once tho!

LuckyRVA · Mar 21st, 2003, 06:58 AM

Forget that! I'd learn how to drive with only one foot/leg if it came to that

Pebbles · Mar 21st, 2003, 08:12 AM

Ha,Ha,Ha! I can only say that if a lady drives a car everyday for a week, she'll start calling it "her" car!! You should start planning on buying yourself another!

MiniMan7 · Mar 21st, 2003, 08:18 AM

Ouch! Thats gotta hurt... not being able to drive the Mini for two weeks that is!

Just kidding, hope you get better quickly.

I never knew badminton was such a rough sport!?

Smurfn · Mar 21st, 2003, 01:48 PM

BUGGER.

I think you summed it up well.

BRGreenie · Mar 21st, 2003, 04:00 PM

Sorry to hear that JEB.

My MINI coming in May - right no squash or anything for mr for 2 months...

Having said that I'll probally trip on my way to the Bathroom...

Bells · Mar 21st, 2003, 05:28 PM

Sorry to hear and hope you have a speedy recovery.

Mind how you go over the next couple of weeks, very easy to re-injure that sort of injury when you think it's getting better. Especially when you have a temptation like that awaiting you... (you may also want to check out your insurance situation?).

Had knee surgery earlier this year (3rd surgery in 10 months), couldn't drive for six weeks. Feels real good to drive again, regardless of the car, independance rocks.

Get well soon

IgorTheHunchback · Mar 21st, 2003, 05:36 PM

Igor would like to say this is a "Blessing" for two reasons.

Reason 1 - Home Harmony
Igor thinks there will be no arguments on "who will drive mini today"

Reason 2 - Mini Broken In
Igor also thinks be time you get to drive mini it will be nicely broken in

Igor

Jeb33 · Mar 22nd, 2003, 07:52 AM

H U R R A Y ! ! !

At last its here, leg well enough to hobble and strong enough to punch them peddles.....nerves not strong enuff for workin out cruise control...

Have been able to drive the baby after all....What a treat, never owned a car this good before...and the service at the dealership has been A1....Will big up Rydale Sutton on the dealership section.

Shes buggered off out and left me with the car, bliss.

Already been out with the window cleaner for the door windows, awfully greasey, but I like gettin intimate early on and a gentle rub and caress never hurt anyone.

Thank god for this site and all its info...

I was given 2 fancy keyrings, some window stickers, and the backpack with cleaning kit...didn't expect anything so am well chuffed with the little extras.

Off to save up for botox now, the mini grin is bound to leave wrinkles.

cheers
