well guys, I just spoke with one of the managers in my dealership (since my MA was out ) and he said that my car showed up this morning... he said that it should be ready by tom. after lunch since he didn't want to rush the PDI process.... I guess the wait is now coming to a close. Wish me luck in picking her up tom. Hope you guys get your cars soon as well...

My MA just called...I'm picking up my baby tomorrow at 11AM!!!!!
He said a bunch of mini's arrived this week so that was his only available time slot left for Saturday.

I'll be on a lookout for fellow NAM members, LOL.

Awesome!

Mine isn't even scheduled to be driven up here until the 26th and delivered to EBM.

Jesse is also my MA. Did you know he was MA of the year last year? I know why.

Yep, he told me when I ordered from him that he was going to Florida or somewhere to accept an award for MA of the year! hehe

Hopefully you're closer to the dealer than I am...if it was to be ready on Monday, I would have had to wait another entire week since work is so busy right now.

I'm livid. I just went to the owners lounge and it showed my Mini as still being on the damned boat, which as you know, is in Tacoma. Now my MA assured me that mine was off loaded at Port Hueneme, but still...

How soon after your car showed it was at the VDC was it on the truck?

Sweet, good luck people!! (I'd call you mini-people...but that just sounds weird. )

East Bay Mini people, the whole pick up to driving off the lot took about hour and a half. Jesse was great to deal with and so was the finance guy. I got a goodie bag with a hat, a mug, and a lanyard, hehe. Jesse took about 15 mins and totally walked around the car with me and explained a lot of the features.

He had 6 miles on the odometer when I picked him up...now he has about 125!

Pics!





I can't wait to see pics from James's bunkmates!
It was an AWESOME drive home, btw.
