Well... anybody heard anything about Elektra post Halifax? Assume well on its way to NJ VDC
Michale

 

Well- it looks like it has departed from Halifax, and is still scheduled to be in NY on 7/11, at least from the W&W website:



The wait is getting more difficult!

 

Yay! My car has been listed as "DISCHARGED" from the ELEKTRA at 0800 this morning. Anyone know how long it should take to get through the Distribution Center?

 

Same here... Me'lo was discharged at same time... I would assume about a week (I do not believe the NJ VDC is operational on the weekends)

Bump, anyone's car updated to VDC? I forgot how long the car could sit in NJ before being loaded into a carrier.

 

It's supposed to dock in Brunswick tomorrow. I am 90 min from there, but I'm doing PDC on Aug 7th. It gets so close to me, and then gets further away!

:(

 

Just heard from my MA- the car is waiting for me at the Dealer! I am (of course) going to pick it up first thing in the morning. Am I the first one on the ELEKTRA to get my MINI?

 

Jealous here....won't be off the boat until tomorrow.

 

Looks like Me'lo is going to be at the dealership tomorrow.. left VDC and in on transport...oh so close

ME'LO has arrived at the dealership... going to go by today to take pics!!!

Michael

 

Finally off the boat this morning. May be able to pick it up on Monday or Tuesday.

 

I posted this over on the Week 26 thread... so we now have Me'lo

Well Ellen and I met Me'lo today... he be very Yelo and Ellen has been smitten. All is good so here are a few pics of Me'lo

First me and then Ellen




The front with the JCW grille but not with stripes yet (doing ourselves with a local company...sorta custom and that is next week) and NO front plate bracket


Chromeline and Colorline interior with a few other goodies





Me'lo was in the company for about 20 other MINIs that had arrived in last two days... all pre sold of course

Wow, congrats! My MA was out today, I hope to hear tomorrow that the car has made its way to Rhode Island.

My MA told me previously that the titles usually come in a day after the cars, does this sound right? I'm also dissapointed to hear they want me to stop in twice, once to pay and sign things, then the next day to collect the registered car. Not ideal when it's a hour+ drive each way.

 

Thank goodness that Maryland is set up to let you take the car the same day! I just got mine today and brought it right home. Everyone who has seen my new Clubman is totally thrilled- at least one neighbor now wants to take a look at them herself!

Here are a couple of pictures:







Now I get the fun of driving it!!!

 

Mel'o is fantastic! I love the interior color line. Very, very nice.

 

Congrats Melo and rmadams!

Looks like my clubby was in good company on the Elektra! Unfortunately, she's still on a train heading west right now...

Enjoy and happy motoring!

P.S. Hey Melo, did ya notice the Chili JCW beside Me'lo?

 

Congrats rmadams Yea I bet the neighbors are eye balling the Clubman...

Oh yes... looked over the Chili Red JCW Cooper quite a bit... very nice...getting some ideas!

Michael

 

Not sure why that would be making into a two day process... I bet it is more allowing funds to be confirmed (check clears electronically etc) than title. But regardless being a bit of a PIA you are almost there
