Well my long wait is almost at an end. I'm flying to Salt Lake City to pick up my Pure Silver MCS and have a great 2.5 day road trip home.
Can't wait.

When you get home tear the car apart and tell us how to do all the phone and sound system installs!!

Have a nice trip...keep it under 90.

binkydognose · Oct 11th, 2002, 11:54 PM

Whoo Hoo! Congrats!
Have a safe and happy journey.
Phoenix needs more MINIs!
(no way you'll keep it under 90... unless you're hyper-vigilant)

NEMINI · Oct 11th, 2002, 11:56 PM

Congrats and good luck ...... I'm jealous

KarmanS · Oct 12th, 2002, 01:19 AM

congrats! If you have a chance, please share some pics of your trip with your new car!

CUTiger3 · Oct 12th, 2002, 09:44 AM

Congrats, and please post the pictures

You just MIGHT break 1200 along the way (right?), so be patient.

Shred the law outside your homestate and pray it escapes the nose of your insurance co. when you get nailed! May you not even be.

Once broken, slowly approach the redline, keep it real (between 4-6k rpm) and stay the hell off the freeways!

Is Canyo de Chelley on the way??? Why those are some pics I would LOVE to see with a gorgewous S in m.

I envy you your virgin voyage. Be righteous, and the baby you pull into your drive will be one sweet call girl (risky business)... Or one ***** of a dog...

gmini03 what part of new york are you from.

PhoenixMiniS · Oct 14th, 2002, 01:09 AM

I just got home. A little over 800 miles in two days. Under 90? I don't think so. I didn't go over 4500 rpm and kept it under 4k most of the time. By the way 4500= 110mph in 6th gear! The car is everything I hoped it would be. Stay tuned we did get pictures I'll post them and a discription of the trip.

Congrats! Will be waiting for your pictures. BTW, what are you doing to protect your car from stone chips?

Have a safe trip home.

PhoenixMiniS · Oct 15th, 2002, 12:09 AM

I've thought about doing the clear film but have hear that it doesn't always work out well on the front of the Mini's because of all the contours. I think for now I'll just us a good paint protectant, I've heard that Zaino works better than wax, really shines and is easy to apply.
I ordered some we'll see how well it works.

Sausagefingers · Oct 15th, 2002, 02:56 PM

Hey Pheonix,

I should be picking up my car from Mini of Murray here in a couple of weeks. How was your experience with them? Did they throw in anything too? Soes the car come with floor mats or is that an extra you have to buy? Any suggestions or things to look out for?

PhoenixMiniS · Oct 15th, 2002, 06:26 PM

Overall they were really nice. Karen delivered the car to us, as for free things, I got a T- Shirt with the number 206 on it.( the number Mini they have sold, they only do this up to 600) I bought floor mats.

TonnyG · Oct 16th, 2002, 03:43 PM

PhoenixMiniS
Did you order the car from them or was this one they have on their lot? I'm trying to Buy an MCS but I need to trade in my old car and North Scottsdale Mini they say they sell everything (don't seem to be interested to take trades)

TonnyG in Scottsdale

PhoenixMiniS · Oct 16th, 2002, 04:21 PM

I put a deposit on the car in April ( Scottsdale wasn't open that's why I went to Salt Lake.) I ordered the car the way I wanted. I didn't trade anything in, I sold my old car through Auto Trader. I figured the dealer wouldn't want to give me much for it on a trade.

TonnyG · Oct 16th, 2002, 04:25 PM

Oh Scottsdale wasn't open yet! Did they have any unsold MCS up in Utah?

TonnyG

Sausagefingers · Oct 16th, 2002, 04:38 PM

Not Likely,

I have been on the list since June and they have been pretty good about sticking to that list. However I have been told that as far as wait times go, Utah has one of the shortest. The require 2 grand as a deposit to get on the list.

TonnyG · Oct 16th, 2002, 04:46 PM

Couldn't that be that you are waiting for a Indi Blue which the factory just released (at least as MCS) they figure no use calling you with other colors, just my thinking I might be totally wrong!

TonnyG

Sausagefingers · Oct 16th, 2002, 04:48 PM

Nope, actually I was in line for a DS/W with an anticipated November build. When they called me in Septemeber to tell me to finalize my build spec I switched to Indi Blue. You could always give em a call. A rather attractive young gal by the name of Debbie Horton would be happy to assist you.
