Go to the order details page and it will show date expected at the dealer.

Oh cool...thanks DMAC57. Hopefully it doesn't take as long as my friends, he didn't even order his. He didn't want to wait for one so he chose one that was already built and he still had to wait 2 weeks.

janetmc,

if you mean a silver cab that looked mighty sweet, i think i saw it parked with it's back to el camino. by the way, my pick experience was much better than the purchase; i felt cared for vs. the purchase day which was just plain weird. my car was in great shape and waiting in the showroom when i arrived. good luck and keep us posted.

What to do while waiting for your new ride...

You can always do what I just did, and mop/clean your garage
Ok, I'm ready, HELLO...
p.s. That's my "other" BMW, an X5, in the background

That is an atypical American Garage...I think you could do surgery in there . I see vents for environmentals....do you heat and cool the garage? I see a TV....do you get banished to the garage often? You know I am just pulling your leg and quite envious of such a great looking garage. Mine has been reorganized and for the first time in seven years will be a two car garage.

Heading over to the dealer in a few minutes to snoop around to see if any MINIs are on the lot. It was vacant this past Wednesday.

Yes, I like a clean garage. It keeps the insects at bay! No, I don't heat/cool the garage. Those are vents you are seeing. It's a fire code thing I think. It can be 115 degrees here in the summer, and it helps to manage the heat. The TV stand was there when I bought the house, so I put a tv up there. It comes in handy when I'm waxing the car etc...

Did you spot any MINI's at your dealer? I hope so!

I was at the dealers....I am getting my MINI piece-meal. My MA gave me two boot mats . Still no new update. Her pipeline sheet shows a Monday arrival. She says they are getting two trucks a day...(the dealer also sells BMW, Benz, Land Rover). She says if it is the first truck Monday, then I should be able to take delivery Monday evening, if not, I will wait until Wednesday since she is off on Tuesday.

Since I have a cabrio, my boot is small, can't imagine why I would have two mats, but will see what it looks like when I place it in the boot. I know it has a little extension to cover the bumper from scratches. If I have no need, I will let you know.

I also have a Cabrio and I can tell you that there is no room for a second boot mat! Also, the boot opens down (like an old station wagon), so there is no chance for scratching the bumper.

I am thinking about getting the Cargo-Link for my Sportlink because there is so little room in the boot!

Ahhh yes the door does open down. I looked up the mat online http://new.minimania.com/web/AddedFr.../InvDetail.cfm
I see the extension is for when the seats are folded down.

It appears that the second mat may go on the back on the back seats when the seats are folded down. No?
