20 hours of overtime pay :-) ... driving lamps may be in order haha
Yes sounds like you deserve driving lamps from that delay!

I love traveling also, but sometime you just want the trip over with.

One time i had a seven hour layover going to Puerto Rico and when i get there, i lost my bags. Couldn't call the people picking me up because my cell phone was dead texting for 7 hours!!! that was too funny!!!

glad your back again!!! did you catch up on all the posts??

I would love to... but my baby is still sitting waiting for a carrier to come pick her up and take her to port. I haven't even started the journey across the ocean yet!

Skye is my favorite, but most people vote for Celeste. And everyone says that as soon as you sit in the mini, you;ll know what to name it. So I'm just waiting for that magical moment!

Hey folks,

I just wanted to let you know that I just rewrote the How to Track your MINI information (https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=138049) and gave all of you a shout-out because I'd not have been able to find any of that without this mega-thread! So...thanks!

Probably not, but that's far from the sole determining factor on interest rates. It all depends on the credit markets and the rate at which the finance company can borrow to finance its lending.

Like I said. Don't worry. The rates aren't going to move!

This is agonizing...

The Patriot should arrive tomorrow and unload, then it is 3-4 days to get it to the dealer (according to them), so I am thinking I will have it in 5-6 days.... this last wait is painfully hard.

She's just now getting to port across the pond. I ordered a month ago and i was told to expect to pick her up the first or second week of July. There are a couple of accessories that they have to throw on for me so I have to wait for that too.

it can take up to a week at the VDC. Don't forget to account for that. It takes a day from the VDC to northern va. I am predicting ready for pickup a week from Thursday.

It sucks right!!! You think your baby is coming in and then you have to wait another week! I think I'm going to have the dealership install an S spoiler on the MC and put in an alarm so I could be waiting even longer!

Remember guys we were all ( I think ) told to expect in July. I was told 3rd week so even if it takes 2 more weeks it's still early!

I guess at the port they do the JCW aerokit so I'll have to wait for that... then at my dealer they have to do illuminated sills, alarm, and a couple other really small things.... I'm so tired of waiting already!
