I've mentioned a few times on here that I love the new Minis and would love to get my hands on one, well, I've now actually ordered one of the beauties. I went into my local Mini dealer today to sign the papers and I should be taking delivery of a black Mini Cooper at the end of November.

I have to admit that I can't wait. I've never owned a new car before and since the death of 'Frog' about two years ago I've had to rely on David's Renault 5 (Maud) to get me to and from work.

Ordering the Mini was pretty daunting though. As someoe who has only ever bought pre-enjoyed cars before you just have to find the one you want and then hand over your hard earned cash but when it comes to the Mini there are just so many choices.

Even once you've decided on the model you want (I went for the Cooper) and the colour (Astro Black) there are still hundreds of options and assessories to choose from. With a bit of help from the Mini website and the salesperson at my local Mini dealership I finally made all my choices and now everything is going through and any time now my Mini will start to be built at the car plant in Oxford.

I've been told to expect its arrival on about the 23rd November. Can't wait.
