I pick my clubman up on tuesday. It was delivered to the dealership on saturday.

 

As long as Cristobal cooperates, Bob should be hitting the dock in Charleston on Thursday.

 

All these lucky East Coasters.

 

There should be a prize for the first delivered. Outside the unending envy of the rest of us, that is...

 

is it just me or are we getting out posted by later weeks?

 

I think a bunch of people still dont know what week they are 27 or 28 including me

 

well this would depend if you believe in "life" at conception or "life" at birth, I have heard arguments both ways for the MINI world. I go with the birth, makes you week 27. Welcome

 

I guess it's kind of like astrology. If you're born the last couple or first couple days of a sign, you're kind of a hybrid of the two. I can't remember the right term...

 

You know if the MINI takes 8 days for build, then they all fall into a double week category, date of build, and date of completion.

 

I think the term is "on the cusp." My Clubman was born on 7/12, a Saturday so I feel stuck between two weeks! Doesn't really matter, though. Still stuck at the exit port!

 

just got my estimated delivery date of 7/25/08

 

Congrats Steve!

Mine's somewhere of the SC coast, involved in the "last night at sea" festivities no doubt... Hoping for something less than a week to the dealer and ready for delivery.

 

I just saw my Clubbie listed in my dealer's inventory! OL has it scheduled to be delivered to the dealership on July 25. This is very exciting, its a month earlier than the MA told us back in May. We still need to have some hot chocolate accessories and the Xpel installed. I hope to be motoring next week!!!

Congrats to all the week 27ers that are already out motoring, and best wishes for time to fly on those that are still waiting.

 

Just got the call from my MA--Bob is scheduled to arrive at the dealer Wednesday!

 

I am picking up mine tomorrow.
Can't wait. Will post pics as soon as possible!
Good luck everybody! Hope you all get yours soon too!

 

I am picking mine up tomorrow.

 

and that's 5 weeks exactly from order to pickup.

 

I'm a week 26er who is hoping to pick up my Clubbie tomorrow (Saturday). We just have to get the paperwork finished for the sale of our old car first (fingers crossed). Also hoping my Clubbie did in fact make it to the dealer Thursday so today they can get the tint and bonnet stripes and detail done.

I feel like a kid again

Sending out good MINI vibes so everyone can bring home their new babies soon!

 

Mine's on the way to the VDC; hoping to the dealer early next week for stripes and mudflaps. The JCW shift **** may or may not be on B/O. Hoping to be motoring in about a week. And no longer car-less.

Can you hear my wife cheering?

 

I see you're in NC too. What dealer? No Idea where Wampa is. I would assume VDC because my MA said next week he would be in Charlotte.

 

Mine's coming in to Flow in Winston-Salem. Hendrick was sold way out to September when I was ready to order. Your MA should be able to tell you where the car is; mine had not made the VDC as of late this AM. There is apparently a new VDC in GA for GA, FL, and some of the other southern states, which reportedly speeds the process for cars coming through Greer. I'm hoping!

 

My MA said Bob was scheduled to be delived to the dealer (Momentum in Houston) on Wednesday. Given that I think its 2-3 days on the truck, that means Bob will spend about 4 days at the VDC.

He said his dealership had 26 cars on arriving on July 30 (a mini convoy from Greer to Houston)

 

Congrats to all week 27ers who have their cars. And...hang in there to those of you who don't yet. I've had "Stella Blue" since Wednesday. I've put nearly 500 miles on and it has been pure driving pleasure. I've driving on highway and secondary road. My gas mileage is phenomenal - I"m very happy. Andd that is even with some "blowing people off the hills' type behavior. Wow. I am so impressed by the response of the car. Like nothing I've ever owned. The sun roof is perfect for up here in NH. I find myself not running the air, but opening the sun roof instead.

Have you changed your interior light colors yet...so cool!

Tell us your driving experience!

 

I am happy to report that we picked up our new Clubman "Chili Fred" on Thursday. It almost didn't happen though, and not because of MiniUSA.

I came down with a bad flu bug on Monday and was completely "out of it" for the next few days. I made a Doctor's appointment for Thursday morning and then got a call from my MA to plan on picking up our new car on Thursday afternoon. Well we were already out of the house on Thursday so why not!

I drove the car home from the dealer (about 60 miles) and put it in the garage. My wife drove it briefly the next day. But I still am not feeling well enough to enjoy it. Not quite what I was expecting when I planned this adventure!

Anyway, the Doctor says it is a virus that will end on its own - nothing I can do. At least I have plenty of time to read the manual and dream of trips to come (we have a trip to South Carolina planned soon).

Best wishes to everyone in this thread and on the website (and if you're healthy - enjoy it)!

Get well, and MotorON! Gives you something to look forward to, anyway.
