Did you get any word? Our MA was supposed to call us back yesterday, but no go. I'm still hoping to pick up tomorrow!!!

BB-soooo sorry to hear about the damage!! I hope everything turn out well for you and that you will be motoring in no time!

So who all is currently enjoying their MINIs from this group...I have to live vicariously at this point (heck, I've been living vicariously for the past 2 months, what's one more day, eh?)

just got word from my MA, apparently my mini is into missing modes of transport, considering we missed the falstaff and now missed the truck it was scheduled for... estimated delivery of late next week XP

but congrats to everyone else who's motoring!

BigJimSwade,
My car arrived in Portland on Wednesday - according to my MA she arrived with 12 of her brothers and sisters! He quoted me 5 business days for the dealer installed options (clear bra, stripes and driving lights). So I'm still waiting...but there's an end in sight! Let us know when you get any word...

Niello

Thanks, I'll keep 'em crossed. Does make me wonder though as I just called and was told that it wasn't there yet. I'm beginning to think that no checking is happening. Not too mention being disconnected 3 times when calling in on the regular number today.

Picked up my MCS this afternoon from Concord. Was a painless process except no mats. I wanted MCS rubber mats and not plain MC mats. They didn't have them in stock, but will be "mailing" them to me. I just have the factory plastic mats in until the real ones get to me. I really like mellow yellow with black top and bonnet stripes. Simply HOT.

lewe that's awesome! congrats :D

hey jabrams, maybe both ours were just "abandoned in port until they have another truck pick it up"? (those were the words from my MA) I'm hoping it was just a similar situation as to the boat, the boat filled up before my mini could get on, maybe the truck filled up? I'd really rather that than damage :/

Big Jim Swade, was over at NW MINI today and saw your clubman, it looks pretty lonely just sitting in the corner. It does look great!

Hey Big Jim Swade, wish I would have known, would have taken one for you, it was just sitting there in the corner, good news it did have a big sold sign on it! The dealership is only a mile away from my house, if I am down that way, I will take a pic for you.

This is ridiculous. My "fashionably late" mini was supposed to be on a truck yesterday but OL was just updated and now shows a 7/7 delivery date. (6/20 delivery date came and went)

How can my mini spend almost month in port? There is a huge lack of communication from the dealer.

The MA said nothing happened to the car, but he also said it would be here this weekend. I am going to find a manager tomorrow.

Anyone else having a problem getting delivery of their mini? I am so frustrated!!
