Built & on the boat! She will arrive 3/16! Can't wait!

No pic, obviously!

08 Cooper S, every package, just about every option, & picked up most of the JCW stuff.

Yellow, with black stripes, yellow & black interior!

Trading in the 05 Mitsu EVO 8 on it. Yes, it's a HUGE performance step down, but will just as fun. Hopefully we don't miss the usable rear seat & trunk.

Congrats! I remember building our MCS back in '06. It certainly took longer than 2 weeks to ship, but it was well worth the wait. There are so many different options and color/int combinations, it's nearly impossible to find exactly what you want on the lot.

Thanks, yes, we are super surprised to find out it was built in one week, then had to wait for the next boat a week. We took the spot of some one who backed out.

Our local dealer, doesn't have ANY new cars for sale, everything is a pre-order. The car on the lot, are all over sticker, or priced way to high for the people who "have to have it now".

New order or on the lot? They are working with us. I do know that if you want a car on the lot, it will cost you more then ordering one.

when my wife ordered her '06 MCS/a we thought it was fun tracking the car's progress thru the factory and across the pond... we wanted the car asap but it provided some solace...

congrats and good luck...

Yes, it's in the Panama Canal right now, we had to wait a extra week for the Boat. The car should be here next week!
