Hello All,

We are new to the forum and we going to be buying our MINI at the end of the year.  We met with Tim and Brad at NW Mini and they treated us great.  We are planning on getting a Horizon Blue Clubman S.  Tim took us on a test drive and all I can say is WOW!!!  They said I had the "Mini Grin" plastered on my face and I didn't want to give up that key.  

We are up in Bellingham so its a bit of trip to get down to Seattle but by the looks of this group it will be worth the drive, especially once we get our mini Drool

Looking forward to joining in the fun.

Chris & Rhonda

We finally did it.  We went and ordered our MINI last week and it is now scheduled for production.

We got a BRG II Clubman S with a black roof and bonnet stripes, black Infinite Stream wheels, premium pkg, cold weather pkg, convenience pkg w/MINI Connected, Sport Pkg, anthracite headliner, chrome line interior, adaptive headlights, and rear fog light. 

I think that is all of the major options we got. 

We can't wait for the delivery and getting involved in club activities.

Hope to meet everyone soon.

Chris and Rhonda

Hmmm...I wish I could use an automated script for checking the status.

I call 866-ask-mini today and found out my car is due to be completed on April 8th( WooHoo) and there is a ship leaving for the wets coast on the 12th.  I hope it makes it on, if not I will have to wait until the 26th for it to ship.

Welcome Chris & Rhonda (Starbug)!

I'm glad you found us and introduced yourself. You know... I think your Clubman will be the first BRG in the club. How awesome is that?! What a great color combo too with the black. NICE! Thumbs Up

I'm with Cheetah...  Be happy it's only 5-7 weeks. There are some members on this forum who waited nearly TWO years to have their MINIs built. At the time I inquired at NW MINI about ordering a MCS in 2006, they told me it would take 12-15 months (not weeks). I ended up buying mine from out of state and it took about 8 weeks for my baby to arrive. 

Anyway, welcome to the club and it will be awesome to see you on the road with us. You're going to have so much fun! I can relate to the "perma grin". Mine's been going strong for almost 5 years. Big smile

Cheers,
Brenda

Thank you for all of the warm welcomes.  I can't wait to attend my first event. 

Went to Northwest MINI yesterday and did all of my paperwork.  A car carrier arrived while I was there but my Clubby was not on it.  The driver told my MA that there were 2-4 carriers behind him and they had a mix of BMWs and MINIs on board due to load restrictions.

We got a call last night and my MA told me my car was in.  We are going down tonight (around 5pm) to pick it up.  I can't wait, and I will post pictures soon!

CongratulationsWooHoo on the new Mini.  There are certain events in life one cannot/will not be able to attend immediately after picking up their Mini because you won't be able to wipe the grin off your faceBig smile.

I wish there was a local MINI Dealership, like our Honda, Subaru, Mazada and VW.

Thanks for all of the support and warm welcomes.  We brought our Clubman home on Tuesday night and been loving it ever since.  Here are a few of the pictures I took tonight.



I got my first MINI wave on my way home to night from Doccyber.  WooHoo
On Tuesday I have an appointment at Accutint Bellevue to get ceramic tint and clear bra applied.

Oh yeah and first mod was a CravenSpeed stubby antennae.
