mine? First or second week of July. BUT... if it hasn't made a ship yet and has to get on the one that leaves tomorrow, then I wouldn't even make it to the US until July 10th.

Starry- I think we're all thinking yours must be on a KLine. Maybe call the dealership, don't ask for your MA, ask to speak to a manager directly and if one isn't available and they ask why you are calling, just say you would rather speak directly to the manager and either say you'll call back or leave a number to call you back at, no message. Sometimes you just have to be forcefull and rude to get some answers. Really though, you've been waiting as long as everyone else and still don't even know if it's on the ship yet?

Starry, the other thing to remember is that Mini does not make ANY money until the car is in your hands. The company can't afford to sit on a sale. The car is problably on its way across the pond and maybe already here!
That's okay spidrz, last night I was going through some DVD's and pulled out "American Tale" and jokingly started singing the song to my boyfriend, all night I couldn't get "somewhere- out there..... beneath the pale mooooon liiiight...." out of my head....

I know! That's why I figured it'd be here already! It's not like my car is basic with noe options ya know?! haha i figured i'd be one of those whose car was built and in their hands in 4 or 5 weeks. But from the day I ordered it's been almost 7 weeks.

No. I did not wake up just now. And yes, I'm way too late for the greetings, but hey, I just got home from work and logged on right away just so I could say "hello".. so "hello!".
Looks like I have 3pages of posts to read so here I go..!

I have carpet floormats instead of the rubber ones. Ever since I took delivery, the driver's mat has been riding up under the pedals. Last night I looked on the underside of the mat and there are two velcro "loop" patches sewn there. I looked at the floor and there are two little plastic covers in the carpet which line up with the floormat patches.
Spoke to the Sales Mgr this morning and he told me that each set of carpet mats have velcro "hook" patches that fit in the holes in the floor and are supposed to keep the mat in place. For what ever reason, he said they usually throw them out instead of installing them. (?) So, mine are in the trash. He promised he would get me a set for my car asap.
So when you take delivery, check to see that the driver's mat is velcroed in place.
Rich
