Originally my MA said it would be no later than tomorrow the 17th. Now he is saying due to the large number of cars that have come around the same time, I should expect it by the 25th. I am picking it up in Monrovia, CA.

Yeah, that's what i was thinking. So i don't know how they coulda possibly messed up on that. They said they will replace it if i decide i don't like the white stripes. I haven't really driven the car in broad daylight, but we'll see today. I will probably end up getting them switched anyway.

Does anyone know whether they are obligated to let us know if the Mini is damaged during transport?

Mine arrived on the Madame Butterfly, but still shows as being at the VDC according to the tracking info. Maybe I am being impatient, but seeing many others have already picked theirs up concerns me.

My MA told me vaguely that a large number of cars came into the VDC at the same time which is causing the hold up.

Thanks for any info.

I picked up my MINI yesterday afternoon! My flight from Chicago landed on schedule. My daughter picked me up at the airport and took me to North Scottsdale MINI and 2 hours later I was driving my MINI home to Yuma. It couldn't have gone any better.

That's what I thought too. My MA says he is trying to find out from the people at the VDC. He doesn't know what the hold up is yet, but says he is trying to find out for me. I have a feeling it's some sort of damage.
