Thanks, something to pass the time sitting on the train . Now we have to wait 8 hours or so to get the Hig res image at miraflores, as long as the fog clears out.

I thought the thread about "our" Minis should be higher up.

Anyone have an idea how long after reaching port it'll be before our MINI's make it through the VDC and are loaded on trucks to their respective dealers. My MA gave me a guarded estimate 50/50 for an 8/7/08 delivery in Scottsdale. I'm planning to take a long weekend trip that week and would love to be able to break in my Clubman. Also, any of you other Isolde mates taking delivery at Scottsdale MINI?

My MA stated it could take 4 days or two weeks and it could take a month to get from the VDC to NW MINI.

I'm also taking delivery of a MCCs at the N.Scottsdale dealer, however I didn't ask the MA because everything he tells me is just a "guess" and I can do that all by myself. However the 7th would be great, because I was "guessing" closer to the 15th. But I don't have a clue how long they stay at the The Port Hueneme Vehicle Distribution Center. Anyone with any experience on this?

I am taking delivery in Scottsdale as well. I haven't talked to my MA either, largely for the same reason....I can guess as well as he can!

2 more days! The hard part is knowing our Clubman is just off shore from us passing by on it's way to Oxnard.

It'll be nice to know our cars are on solid US soil.
