well if we get to vote who gets there car first then my vote goes to GonePostalWV, poor guy probably has to carry the weight of three MINI"s come April 15th and deal with every flavor of idiot trying to get their taxes done at 10:30pm and still get it post marked.... not fun!!

 

anyone know what all the VPC handles? 650 cars a day and 6000 at one time sure seems like a lot. 6000 had to be quite a few vessels. Do they handle the Bimmers there too? And how much of the country is serviced by this VPC?

Patient Jim....

 

Of course , I'll be nice and rested by then. <g>.
While my fellow carriers have been "toting the rock" , I've been resting
up for the past two weeks healing up my right knee <g>.

I'll probably be back carrying the final week heading in to the 15th...
so I'll get my share then. Part of my route is what we calla "collection".
I pick up the mail at about a dozen points in Charleston
every evening... including the State Capitol complex <g>. On Saturdays
I add the main Downtown Post office to the list. Saturday the 12th will
be the fun day <g>.

Now... I'll most likely have had my MINI for a bit by then... so things
will work out fine <g>. I'll be carrying my route with a smile and a
spring in my step <g>.

For my part, I'd just as soon have us all pick up our cars on the same
day. That way... we can give NAM's server a workout celebrating ....

 

any word? anybody talk to their ma's?

 

My MA hasn't gotten back with me yet. I emailed her again this morning.

 

My MA (best MA I've had) told me it's off the boat and on a train to the VPC....and that was early this morning so it's probably there by now.

 

how far away is the vdc from port? this process sure increases happy hour times! another fat tire gone!

 

I dunno....but apparently far enough away that a train is necessary

Just had my first taste of fat tire while at AMVIV...great choice Still have never seen it out here in the midwest though

 

where are you located?

 

Northern Ohio

 

we cant get new belgium products either. are liquor stores dont retail "cold" beer. everything is room temp. this is the one thing i would change about oklahoma!!!!

 

Does anyone name their mini while waiting for it to come in? My MA said "everyone is doing it" Never named a car before. Is he pulling my leg?

 

for some reason mine are always female.

 

fat tire is here in chicago, i know this because i can't remember the name of the bar i was drinking it at...

 

favorite city in the world!!! maybe because i have been a cubs fan since birth!! always love to visit, i go twice every summer.i would give anything for a lou malnatis pizza right now.

 

there goes another fat tire!!!

 

until my mini delivers my dealership i am going to continue drinking one hour every beer

 

I was in tulsa for business several years back, it was 90 something degrees out and clear blue skies... then in the matter of about 20 minutes the skies went dark greenish, temps drop into the 70's and a good old thunderstorm came barreling through like a run-away freight train... it was amazing. but yeah i would still go for the pizza

 

Then you'll be in no condition to drive the car when it's finally delivered

Good news....I'll have to keep looking

 

He's not pulling your leg. Some folks wait til they meet there MINI to
name him or her... others know it before the order is placed.

Mine's Petronius <g>. Named after a cat in a Sci Fi novel.
Who "if he quits leading with his left, will be winning battles, and siring
kittens for years to come" <g>. The Door into Summer by Robert Heinlein.

 

Meant MerBear... <g>. Sorry.
Sincerely,
Gonpstl ,
I mean GonePostalWV <g>

 

A single roro vessel like the Integrity can carry up to 7,000 or 8,000 cars.

 

It's ok Gonpstl, (GonePostalWV) I make the same typo everytime I sign in. I don't have a clue what i'm going to name him so i will probably figure it out when i meet him. (Yes HIM 356Mikel ) Took me 3 weeks to name my dog (Martini) wonder how long to name a car? I'm feeling the stress Thanks everybody

 

which mini are you going to father?

 

I naming my MINI. His name is Oliver. Named after Oliver Twist. Since he was born in England and likes to take twisty turns.

I'm a Cubbies fan too. Born and raised in Chicago then moved to Atlanta in '87. We're going to St. Louis to watch the Cubs/Cardinal game on 7/5 and then traveling up to Chi-Town to watch the Cubbies at home in Wrigley. They looked good at their opener!
