You didn't look that short. Nor did you look p*****. But then again, I didn't get there till almost 6:30 and you probably already had a couple or three. Nice to meet you in person. Look forward to sharing MINI stories for years to come.

Picking up my baby on Friday
Will the actual first meeting be as exciting as the anticipation of waiting and tracking my longed-for Clubman? I hope I will not be disappointed. I'm having mixed emotions. I'm glad the day is almost here, but what if my expectations were too high? Oh, I think I'm going crazy...

Finally picking mine up Thursday (5/29) morning. It had been 'stuck' at the dock since May 9th (20 days). It seem the dealers have no insight as to what is occuring at the VPC until the "estimated shipping date" has past then they can / are willing to ask any questions to determine what the delay is. I also have mixed emotions, there has been a lot of build up and alot of reading NAM threads (very useful and made the time go by a little easier). But needless to say very excited to have my very own Clubman.
that you're picking up your MINI tomorrow, I hope nothing was wrong with it. 
or it was send to the back of the line, like all bad MINI's.

zugar and mntcooper -
Regarding the mixed emotions, fear not. I am quite certain that your Minis will not disappoint you! I felt a slight twinge of "well what am I looking forward to now?", but it only lasted a second. Then I got my hands on the wheel and my foot on the gas pedal, and I knew EXACTLY what I was looking forward to
.
Everyone with scheduled pick-ups this week -- CONGRATULATIONS!
mysticturner & rexicon - sweet rides! Thanks for sharing pics.

Congrats mntcooper and zugar...I hope delivery goes well for both of you.
I filled my MINI for the first time today...BC said 34.1 MPG, actual was 32.7. Of course, I put a lot of "highway" miles (2 lane twisty type outside of town) on this tank so next time should give me my getting around town mileage.

Just found this thread. My Clubman was finished on May 2 and I just picked it up today. It is a blast to drive so far and it is beautiful. Congrats to everyone who has picked up their new Mini's and to those waiting to pick up.

The OL "JUST" says that JD is at the VDC 
That mean he arrived on the "Western Highway" today or on the Sierre Nevada Highway last Friday and sat in the VDC for a week So I "MIGHT" get it by the middle of next week.
I knew all that drinking & carrying on at Southampton was going to catchup with him. They must of release him from jail after the "Caribbean Highway" sailed 
so he had to wait for a week to board one of the next ships.

It's the long wait that did it, but after you get in your Clubman that feeling will disappear. 
So enjoy your MINI and the weekend.

I'll be getting that bill next month on my credit card and I can't deduct that as a business expense.
