Yes Winston we are alike, I do not post very often but I read a lot, you and a couple others in the past have posted genuinely uplifting comments that work for me, they give me a mini (intended) confidence boost.
It’s hard to make the mini a mess whatever spec you go for, I like your combo there and I agree with Kezo, it will not stand out as much as the BRG. The demo JCW where I ordered was almost your combo, it had that multi coloured roof though and does look good, I had second thoughts, I nearly went white with black roof and mirrors as it really did look nice but stuck to my original pick.
Great news, I went to a Marshalls and got 500 off the adv payment.
I’m glad you mentioned about the Harmon Kardon issue as I would t accept without it so to make sure I’ll let them know now so that they can keep it in the build till its got it. If I get to September I get another 200 gcb on top amking 550, with the 500 off and the 750 new car thing that’s amazing, say what you like about motability, most of it most of the time is brilliant.
Anyway, hope it knocks you out when you see yours in the flesh and you have the best 3 years runaround you’ve had so far.
