[stoney]

Very nice boss

[GreigJCW]

Perfect choice and spec. Missing the red roof though ;)

Am hoping you can do me the same signature as yours, but with a black roof, if you don't mind, no rush :Whistle:

[gauldrymini]

Good choice sir:thumbs up:

(...black paint gonna bug you though seen as you are a car cleaning fanatic :smilewinkgrin:)

US configurator looks better than our one :popcorn:

[RobSco]

Looking Good Alan... :thumbs up: ...Seen a black Mini in Peter Vardys once with the black wheels, very stealth, as for the 9 weeks wait, it'll be worth every moment when the time comes... Look forward to seeing the photos... :yes nod:

[weefossy]

Sounds nice........but black!! let the OCD commence. :D

[EcosseGP]

Looks great but fear the worst with the amount of cleaning stuff you'll need ;)


At 8000rpm no-one hears you scream !

[zimbo]

Very nice boss :thumbs up:, so yet ANOTHER JCW joining the NMS family :smilewinkgrin:

BUT... I am really surprised to see these as options picked #314 and #494 and option #205 really?:thud:and WTF is #6VC?:idunno:

I'll be willing to come and take care of your cars detailing if you pay my airfare out there :thumbs up::lol:

[MINI William]

Very nice Allan. Automatic box I see your slipping more and more into the American way of life :laugh:

PMSL gizmo ( king of mank )clean cars are you mental :lol:

BUT... I am really surprised to see these as options picked #314 and #494 and option #205 really?:thud:and WTF is #6VC?:idunno:Heated mirrors are for the winter, it actually gets cold and icy first thing in the morning, heated seats come as standard with the JC Seats, an auto box is almost an absolute must here, too many traffic lights with stop start traffic and will help if i ever decide to sell.
I've no idea what 6VC is :lol:

[Crombers]

Nice one gaffer :yes nod:

[rpn]

Can't wait for the photos, :camflash: Alan.

[Gismo]

Went into production today, Vin number issued, 8 weeks and counting :lol:

[MINIme:)]

looks great Alan, liking all black for a jcw A LOT, and it'll show the muck up better :thumbs up: also 100% with you on the hatch preference :thumbs up: oh and to finish, entirely with you on the front end of the F56 too! Wavelengths aligned. Group hug :arms:

[KenL]

New car will be fantastic, enjoy.

On the colour - good choice. I expect all cars in Florida stay clean for a lot longer than they do here, especially in winter.

[Gismo]

Car is alive and kicking, apparently got ahead of the waiting list, car is being prepared for the journey across the water, 4 weeks or so and it'll be at the dealer :thumbs up:
Will have to buy some extra manky cloths and some sponges cause the car will be too clean :Whistle:

[ELFMAN]

I've no idea what 6VC is :lol:

It's either Egg Fried Rice or Poppadoms...

Sorry I missed this one Alan - NICE MOTOR! :cool: :thumbs up:

Would you like one of us to "Run it in" for you before shipping? That way it'll be loosened off AND manky by the time you get it - just the way you like it! Result.

[Craig]

Well done sir ;)

[AndyP & Lenore]

Awesome spec Alan, looks awesome. Not entirely sure I could have an all black car in Florida, but it will polish up lovely once a year.

Enjoy.:thumbs up:

[JOHN MILNE]

6vc is combox controller to do with mini connected

[Gismo]

Apparently my car is currently swimming across the Atlantic, should arrive on the beach on the 13th August

Great News Alan... :thumbs up: ...Looking forward to seeing the photos... :camera: ...Are you back home for its arrival... :thumbs up:

[Gismo]

Are you back home for its arrival... :thumbs up:I doubt it, doing 6 weeks away this to get time off to go to an NFL game next time home :thud:

[stoney]

I doubt it, doing 6 weeks away this to get time off to go to an NFL game next time home :thud:

That's a shame but a good to come home to your new car or will Julie pick it up for you ?

[zimbo]

...doing 6 weeks away this to get time off to go to an NFL game next time home :thud:

:blink: You've no half become Americanized :thud:









:lol:

[N16SHP]

Who you going to watch Alan? Jags?

[Burple]

:blink: You've no half become Americanized :thud:



Says the numpty using the American spelling.. lol ;):p:p:p

I could volunteer to come over to make sure it gets home safe... I promise it won't be clean when you get back ;)

[Gismo]

Who you going to watch Alan? Jags?Im a Miami Dolphins fan so am going to see them play against The New Orleans Saints in New Orleans :thumbs up:

[N16SHP]

Well Alan, I can easily say you've picked by far the best NFL team to support:thumbs up:, but as a life long Dolphins fan I've yet to have anything to cheer about :frown:! Extremely jealous you're going to see the Fins play. That said I did turn down the chance to see them play the G-men in London but I couldn't stomach the silly prices when you can pay $40 to see them play when they are at home. I'd also love to go the Super Dome, what a stadium.

Without going too off topic, I'd hope we've got a shot at the playoffs this year as its by far the strongest roster we've had in a long while and Tanny is showing plenty potential!

[MINI William]

Miami Dolphins .... great Cheerleading team :yes nod: couldent tell you anything else about them

[N16SHP]

Miami Dolphins .... great Cheerleading team :yes nod: couldent tell you anything else about them

:thumbs up: Their mascot also started in one of the Ace Ventura films. They were the late 80's early 90's 'almost' team and have done nothing since but they do hold the record as being the only team in NFL history to go the whole season without losing a game and win the championship. Several teams have gone through the regular season unbeaten but failed to win the Superbowl.

I bet it's going to be a long 6 weeks for you Alan. How long do you get off on your rotation when you are home to have some fun with it?

[Gismo]

I bet it's going to be a long 6 weeks for you Alan. How long do you get off on your rotation when you are home to have some fun with it?Am gonna be off just over 4 weeks, not taking the mini to the game, 4 folks with luggage, going in the truck :Whistle:

[Gismo]

The beast has landed on USA soil, will be at the dealer within 10 days :thumbs up:

[Craig]

Great news !! ;)

[Gismo]

Had saved up to buy it outright but got such a good deal on a 12 month loan i decided to take the finance, guesses on the rate

[Craig]

Hee haw ??

[Mini Ecosse]

Hee haw ??

nearly Hee Haw??

[Gismo]

0.9 per cent :thud:

[Stewart]

What’s all this Hee Haw we all know he paid buttons!!!!:smilewinkgrin:

[AndyP & Lenore]

0.9 per cent :thud:

As close at it gets to free money. :thumbs up:

[Gismo]

As close at it gets to free money. :thumbs up:Exactly, and no reason to use my money, i'll let it stay in the bank and earn the pathetic 1 percent the bank gives

[zimbo]

The UK seems more and more crap as the weeks go by :yes nod:

Bet you cant wait to get your grubby paws on the beast mate :thumbs up:
