Girl Friend going to HK next month, try to see if she can buy some stuff for my MINI.

Where is a good place to shop for the MINI. what do they have, any Jap parts?

I have a 2004 MCS(USA), DS/W H/K stereo, GPS(NAV) All options. LHD.
Anyone recommand any places?? please help.

cliffywong · Sep 1st, 2003, 09:57 AM

Majority of the stuff we are getting are from the US or U.K. via internet . Japanese stuff there are bits and piece but really it would take alot of looking around. You can try Mongkok that's where you'll find all the auto accessories shops. If your girlfriend is staying in a hotel then she can ask the conciege.

No one has respond to any question posted. Next time i suggest that you ask politely again. Instead of being the rude Little @@@@!!! .

chrisfb1 · Sep 1st, 2003, 05:25 PM

i was try to be polite at the begining, nothing try to be rude!!
Just try to find somehelp from the fellows from HK, On the other hand, i'm a half Chinese too.(Korean the other 2/3)

Been living in china almost all my life. Almost been to HK,GF from there.she's going back there next month, so i was try to bump around to find something useful.

It seems to me that there are no one care to reply in this forum. it is not the way that the MINI owners should act. personaly i think MCO is better than MINI2. More active.

Just suggestion. no offense!
thank you for the info "Cliffywong".

Chris, we would appreciate if you lighten up with your attitude here. If you ask for politeness, it would be nice if you excercise a similar practice as well. Even though no one respond to your inquiry in a quick turnaround, it does not mean people are not willing to help out.

If you read back on previous discussions, you will find where other people purchase their parts, etc. And if you feel that the other messageboard is better, it's your choice.

The members here are generally very helpful and friendly, yield some patience and you shall receive the help you need.

chrisfb1 · Sep 1st, 2003, 11:33 PM

haa haa!
See now i'm getting attention now!!
I'm sorry for whatever i have done! I was not intended to do anything rude or bad! Please forgive me!! (i might need to take some anger management courses!!)

I am a very nice person(at least people always say that to me, may be i'm not!!

I have some problem on waiting things. I lose patience very fast. All these because i'm still waiting on my 04 MCS CONAN!

It has been more than 2 years since i first seem it in Geneva! It has been 11 months since i decided to buy it and it has been 3 months since i placed the order. After all these, there still a month and a half to go for me to see CONAN!!!!

I do not know about HK, but most CA onwers knows the pain since they have the longest waiting time in USA. This has been a on going issue in my life. haaahaaa!!!

I'm apologize for what i ** wrong. I can see there are nice people in this forum, i have been through all the post in here. I like the girlfriend in car sticker!!(real nice) and i like his personal site too! I'm really want to know some friends in here. I have never been to HK, i think i would when i go back to China.(wish i can take my CONAN).

Thanks for the info Cliffywong!

Just to share my experience. I saw the new Mini which had been placed on a lorry outside the BMW Kowloon Showroom. Five days later, I went to the 1st HK Mini Carshow held at Ocean Terminal. I had spent half an hour for consideration b4 I placed my order for the new MCS. After all, I had been waiting for 20 months for getting my LW/BT MCS. The 1st shipment of MCS was around 17 months after the order had been placed, but only the DS or EB MCSs provided(both aren't the color I want). ie for becoming a MCS owner, having patience is the most important. Recently, I think those new MCS owners still ve to spend 4 months for their babies after their orders ve been placed.

Hi all,

This situation seems much better now. I have ordered my MCS 2 weeks ago. The production date is Sep03 and the delivery date is around Mid-November. 10 weeks to go right now! But I think it depends on the color you order, right?

Expecting my MCS and really hope to join you guys soon!

Kenny

KarmanS · Sep 4th, 2003, 05:04 AM

Hi Kenny, congrats on the purchase of your MCS. Just wondering what color you ordered resulting in the 10 week wait time?

Thanks.

Kennyw · Sep 4th, 2003, 05:13 AM

EB/W. Actually I had considered either EB/W or DS/W. Both EB/W and DS/W also have to wait until mid-Nov, but there is a EB/B is on stock at that moment.

Is there any people had a experience on shipment delay?

Kenny

cliffywong · Sep 4th, 2003, 07:24 AM

When I picked up my car 4 months ago - there were around 7 MCS waiting for delviery all in DS or EB. It seems that majority of MCS in HK are these colors.

chrisfb1 · Sep 4th, 2003, 10:46 PM

haha! this is so funny!!

My other Asian friends like my DS/W and also the EB/W
My best choice is EB/W but i took DS/W due to low profile concern.

Is this a Asian theme??
It seems to me that people live in Asia(including me) has strong preference on DS and EB color!

It just my funny thoughts!
Peace!

cliffywong · Sep 5th, 2003, 01:11 AM

Then again it could be just because these are MCS special colors.

A few weeks ago, the newspaper reported that HK BMW had claimed that the most favor color for MC/MCs in HK was yellow body. Besides, there are plenty of bright color MCSs, such as yellow, red,silver, blue or even black running in HK. For me, my baby seems as my toy, so I chose the LW/B. Btw I think those guys who like posting threads here are comparatively elegant, so they would prefer their babies' body color in DS or EB.

cliffywong · Sep 5th, 2003, 04:50 AM

But Herman,

Over all there are more MCS in D/S and EB than any other color.

But I heard that the overall favorite color of the MC is black. ?

Kennyw · Sep 5th, 2003, 05:16 AM

By my observation on the street for MCS, DS is the most popular one, and then yellow. Actually, DS is really really cool! That's why many people chose.

I chose EB because it really looks like a toys! especially come w/ a white rims!

adampoon · Sep 5th, 2003, 06:06 AM

In Causeway Bay and Central area I find yellow, green, sliver and blue. I can hardly see DS (my colour) around. DS is too good for me, cause I'm too lazy to wash my car, only once in two weeks time.

hermanszeto · Sep 5th, 2003, 06:09 AM

Cliffy,

I only mention the MC/MCS in HK. It's really reported by the newspaper(should be appledaily). As we chatted overphone, only a minority part of MC/MCS owners came out for parades or meetings. Maybe many lady or youngster owners like the bright color such as yellow or red. Actually, I strongly desire HK BMW to disclose which is the favorite color for MC/MCS in HK.

Herman

PureGo · Sep 5th, 2003, 07:50 AM

The beauty of the MINI is that it can be whatever you want it to be......in whatever color of your choice. I love my DS/W but I also had my eye on a couple of other colors that I would love to have.

Kennyw · Sep 5th, 2003, 08:02 AM

Yes! This is Mini Cooper

:white:

chrisfb1 · Sep 7th, 2003, 05:58 AM
