I just had practically the entire neighborhood checkin' it out. Well I am glad the wait is finally over. I feel like just staring at it all night!!
haha .... yeah, i got some double takes already on the highway myself.
the Clubmanness doesn't reveal itself until they see the back half of the car.

even had a MCS coupe guy slow down to a crawl this morning to let me pass and then giving a wave.

so ... what are your plans with the 17" wheels once you get your R99's? ... I might be interested in them! ... shoot me a PM if you are selling!

Unfortunately, the schedule changed - there seemed to be a delay in Canada. The original schedule had the Mignon arrive and leave Canada on the same day, but it stayed in the port for a few hours longer. There must have been a lot of cars that got off there , who knows. Mignon is supposed to arrive in NY/NJ @ 6:15 pm, changed from 9 pm. It's almost here!!!

My MA told me mine came in with the wrong wheels . They need to take the 5 stars off and take some Bridge Spokes off a unsold car.
Not sure why this will delay pick up but am told it will.

I've actually asked my dealer to take the S-Winders off and put some bridge spokes on, if he can. I screwed up and ordered the wrong ones.

My ship, the TASCO, is scheduled to unload in Charleston tomorrow, 5/20. We'll see how long it takes from there. Charleston is 10+ hrs away from Pittsburgh. At least there appears to be a little light at the end of the tunnel.

Well it looks like you got your (and my) wish:



Hopefully we're both on the same truck. I hope it's a beer truck.

mysticturner,

I read on some website that they are dropping th BRG color next year. So you got lucky this year with your choice of color because the green for next year is "LIME"
