I've done it, I've done it at last!!!

The time is now: after sometime reading the forums I have finaly commited to taking part in them and set up a profile. The reason? My mini cooper S is on track for delivery to me on the 1st March! This is my return to the mini world since I last sold my original cooper on a J plate some 8 years ago! And my third mini in total, the first being my first ever car after passing my test. I wonder how many people started their driving lives in a mini? Welcome back I may here you cry, so thank you. I have just got the courage to upgrade the car to JCW specification from delivery as well, so I am in serious limbo at the moment. I have to visit the BMW dealer regular just to get my next fix. Should mini's have health warnings? They seem as addictive as drugs? Lets hope that the next 7 weeks or so will not drag too much, well not as much as the last 8 weeks have anyway, over half way now. I cannot recall being this excited about anything in this world as much as:

1. When I still believed that Father Christmas visited us.
2. I lost my virginity
3. Found out that Father Christmas not existing was just a lie and in fact that he is alive and well and still visits!!!!!!

So I hope I will be able to share some positive things with the site in time, at the moment I am just playing the waiting game, but then I am sure that most of you have already been familiar with that game.

Thanks for a great site and keep up the good work.

Yours Ed, oldish but feeling younger by the day!

Congrats on the car, welcome to MINI2!

Nice to see another local join the ranks. You'll have to come on one of our lunch time runs when you've got your 'S' (or one of our rarer, but slightly better organised evening/weekend runs).

welcome back to the wonderful world of MINI

This time it is even better, I promise, as my mini history is pretty much the same as yours, got rid of my 'J' plate Cooper about 7 years ago, and it was my third mini.

No there is no cure, just enjoy the ride
