Yep, I did see that, thank you!

I was just hoping I could track her while she was in the ocean, but it seems like she's hiding for now. Don't those ships know there's insane MINIacs stateside desperately trying to stalk them????

No word from my dealer of how long it will take from Halifax to Brossard, quebec, but he had told me mid June, so I think I have still a bit of a wait left.
+1! Thanks Jessyca!

Hey jessyca333,

Where did you get your signature car? It looks exactly like mine. PW/B webspoke wheels and sport stripe. Oh, you definitely need to post pics as soon as you get your clubman. I need to live vicariously through your vehicle....

LMAO!!! That's awesome.

Let me know if you hear from them. They are probably like..."Oh for crap's sake here's another one of those MINI freaks!"

Haha, I got it from that thread that was posted by COOPERation with all those minis. What I did was save the whole image, and then open it up in paint. From there I just cut and paste the car that I wanted.
The only modification I did was the checkerboard mirrors, I cut those out of another vehicle that had them, and placed them over the black ones that were originally in the photo.

I've realised now its not exactly the same as what I am getting, my roof is going to be black with pepper white stripes, rather than the whole car being pw w/ blk stripes.

I'll post pictures!! but she won't have the stripes when I pick her up I'm getting them painted by a good friend of my father's who is absolutely excellent with cars. Reason being - I didn't want white stripes on the roof of my PEPPER white car and the dealer only offered the sticker stripes in pure white.

Can't wait to see yours too! I guess they'll almost be twins!

Your car sounds amazing. I just realized that you have MCS while I have a Clubman S coming. I like the idea of having the stripe painted on. I'm going to have the black stripes on my car. Yes I will definitely post pictures when I get my car.

Thanks It took me forever to decide, and for the longest time I had wanted BRG, safe to say I did a complete 180!

I tweaked the sig pic a bit, more accurate now, still can't seem to get the right set of wheels on there...but its pretty close.

Can't wait to see your photos! We're getting closer!!!

Hope that the 21st is here before you know it! My MA email today and said 4-5 days from port to dealership (in Ohio) and 1 day at the dealership getting prep (also clear bra install) before we get to pick it up

It has been surprising to me how much info our MA's have! MINIUSA's website, automated call line, and talking to a live rep couldn't get me near as much info as my MA!!!

So for those of you with questions check with them, they seem to be in the know!

That is so funny, it never even occurred to me!

I used to live in Charleston, and I would drive down to see the MINIs all the time.

Unloading now? I hope you are right. I just checked the port website and the Emden show 6/9 now? Noooo! Conflicting info and a possible delay! This is the suxxor!

Let me apologize first but I guess I'm sappy this morning. Not enough coffee. too much time on my hands? I don't know but ...

I just want to say to those of you in Week 21 Support Group - you guys are amazing. We have no idea who we are, we could pass each other in the mall and we wouldn't blink an eye, but because of our cars we are really helping and supporting each other out. That's pretty damn cool. I know this is a support group (at least that's the title of the thread) but the reality is we really are support each other. We don't have to. We could be sponges and get info and head out to other threads but we're not.

I know I'm being sappy but thanks. Maybe I'm crumbling under the pressure of not having my Clubman. ha ha ha. I may want to see my therapist soon.

Well, I better shut up now and go mow my yard.

joe
