So my fiance and I just ordered our 2nd Mini in less then 8 months. The first one is the red on in my avatar and was purchased when her 2006 Mini blew its transmission on our vacation. The 2nd one was ordered because she hates my Altima and wants a Mini with an automatic. So my car goes and I inherit the red mini with a 6 speed... not to bad of a deal. Except she gets 2 new Minis in a year and I get a hand-me-down... lol.

 

What did you order?
I pick up my new spice orange convertible this weekend.....
So excited
Do you get the extended warranty and extended service warranty?

 

We ordered a Laser Blue Cooper with Black Top and stripes, the 16 inch black wheels, sports package, Auto, Cloth seats, piano black trim, xenon lights and blue tooth. I think we are going to lease it so we don't have to worry about the warranty. Its set up just like the red one except the red one has a white top with stripes and a 6spd manual.

 

Somehow, I'm not feeling any pain for your "situation". Sounds like you made out more that pretty dang well here!
