I hope my MINI gets to the dealer as soon as possible, I will still need to wait supposedly 10 business days for the check to clear beacuse my physical address is not in CA.. Let's cross fingers for Thursday night!

Unfortunately, I am out of town this weekend, so I am picking up on Monday.

Looks like MOST LA/OC area people should be able to deliver a car by Saturday, unless you are getting a lot of VDC installed accessories.

Lucky you

. I just spoke to Philippe too and he does not have update on my car if it has reached VDC or not. He is estimating mid next week

Maybe I can take yours for a spin this weekend

Anyone know how they get to Seattle? Even though the boat is going up to Tacoma now, I heard a rumor that all Mini's get off the boat in CA, and get shipped North. Anyone have any additional info?

cheers,

Verax

They do get off the boat even if they are heading for Seattle, no distribution center in Seattle. They will be trucked from California

MINI of Mountain View told me that the car first has to go to East Bay MINI to be checked out because of the strike and then back to MV. I asked about the possibility of picking it up at East Bay and was told I could not. I don't like that this adds extra time.

Oops, I should have specified. It's this strike:

Limited to just the Mountain View service department.

Emailed my MA today, but no response. I will have to give him a call in the morning. I am hoping for a Monday delivery because I am out of town until Friday.

Wow - tomorrow...AWESOME!! Called my MA @ Niello and he said scheduled Tuesday delivery, but still needs dealer inspection, sport stripes, blah blah blah. But there was a ray of hope that it might be earlier. Still not holding my breath, but man, this is killin me.

Not a word from mine either. I went through Long Beach Mini. Although when I called last week for an ETA, they said "mid-month", no specific date.

My MA said the delivery trucks are arriving in Calabasas on Friday and Saturday, so I will probably pickup my Mini on Saturday afternoon. He'll call me to confirm tomorrow...
