My "Stella Blue" arrived at the dealer in Peabody today. I am so excited! I can pick her up and start motoring next week!! Finally!

 

Congratulations! Wallace is on his way there as well, should be there sometime this weekend.

 

Picking ours up tommorow morning!

 

Xcoastie,
Congratulations and happy motoring. Let us know if your new MINI is everything you expected it to be!

 

nclin,

Looks like Stella Blue and Wallace are twins - I hope the Peabody folks can tell them apart on the lot.

 

For the rest of the folks waiting for Charleston or Brunswick deliveries, it looks like the ship made it into Charleston today on schedule:

 

Twins? That's wonderful. Stella Blue is laser blue, silver roof, mirrors and c-pillars. Black leather interior, premium package, cold weather package and a few other little items. I think I'll be able to pick up Wednesday afternoon. How about Wallace?

 

Pretty close. He has the Lounge Carbon Black Leather (white piping, like the Sidewalk), premium and cold weather plus misc extras, silver bonnet stripes and driving lamps. I guess we'll tell them apart by the stripes.

 

Congrats to all of you that took delivery already! Don't forget to show us some photos. Maggie Mae was discharged to the VDC on July 20, so hopefully I'm only a week away from driving her home.

 

We're picking up Wallace on Weds.

For those of you with cars getting dropped off in Brunswick, it looks like the Independence II made it there today as scheduled:

 

Photos for sure. Congrants on Maggie Mae being one step closer to coming home!

 

See ya in Peabody. I'll be making the trip down from the White Mountains. I don't know if I'll be able to wait until it gets light! I"m so excited!

 

Sounds good - you'll have a fun drive back north!

 

And another WW voyage ends - Independence II left Brunswick and is on its way back to Europe, leaving hundreds of happier people in its wake...

 

Laden w/USA's best, Kraft Cheese and Wise Potato Chip products.

Surprising how hard my dealer's making what time I can pick it up, but picking'm up tomorrow I will!

 

Wallace is safe and sound at home. Great car - the improvements they made in the 2nd generation are very welcome. We still love our '07 Sidewalk, but the turbo and the new interior gadgets are a blast.

 

Stella Blue is home, too! My onboard says I got 38.9 MPG driving 160 miles up the interstate yesterday. Driving is an absolute pleasure.
Last night we did a bit of around the curves on mountain roads. Tons of fun and holds the road great!

 

We picked up "Jac" (justacooper) saturday. I took a couple "as delivered" pictures and put them in my gallery. More pics to follow after wheels, stripes, etc are added...
Hope the rest of travelers made it home to the owners without issue!
