nice MINI, sottili! careful with the kayaking next time....hopefully it wasnt an SLR you lost. for cables, maybe check out monoprice dot com?

My OL status has changed to "At Your Mini Dealer". Still waiting word that it's actually gotten there, though. Fingers are still crossed for a Wednesday delivery.

For those aboard the Turandot. The Port Hueneme schedule shows our boat scheduled to come in today. Not a surprise. But the schedule also has some interesting notes about her cargo.
1876 vehicles total
96 sat (Not sure what this is)
190 hh (Not sure again)
700 bmw (obvious)
545 mini THAT'S US.
Now get that ship into the dock and off load the Minis. I'm sure they are eager to be on solid ground again.

Here's the link to the schedule.

"sat" could be Saturn. Aren't they building the Saturn-badged Opels in Europe?

"hh" is boggling.

Jerks?

Doubt it's Hummer, though. Pretty sure they're made stateside. Probably some obscure codename for another brand (Merc? Smart? VW?)

Gah!

I just called Mini of SA to check on my Clubbie, and my MA is off today.

The wait. It's officially killing me.

It may be a long wait. My Clubbie's been through the VDC and may well be at the dealer (9 AM can't come fast enough!), and STILL nothing from the WW tracking site.

My MA just sent me a teaser! It's not the best pic ever, and I'm sure he's plenty busy, but it's enough to hold me for a day.
