...and the countdown begins...

Today begins the 4 1/2-ish month wait till my Mini arrives. I went down to Long Beach Mini and placed my order, I was in and out, in about 5 minutes. I was as easy as making an appointment to get your hair cut. So now I'm on the waiting list to get an order slot at the dealer then the order gets placed with MINI, kinda like waiting in line to get into the waiting room.

Here are some of the highlights of what I've signed myself up for:
Mini Cooper S, Pepper White with Black roof and mirrors.
6 speed, DSC, LSD, front/rear fog lamps, xenon headlights, chrono pack, heated seats.

Once I have the car in my grubby hands, the first 5 mods will be:
Tinted windows
Stealthbox Sub from JL Audio
Wheels 17" from ADR black center with polished rim
Short Shift Kit from ALTA - along with some sort of shift knob change.
possibly a rear swaybar upgrade too, we'll see.
