Yeah WW, I think it works like UPS and cars are scanned when they move.

I paid MSRP and no mats. I bought the mats from Morristown Mini for $75.
I'm getting the $275 tint job. I'll shop for other local prices tomorrow.

SuperGreg, please let me know what you find out about window tint...I'll try to do my research tomorrow but I am covering from my boss this week (managing 10 people) and do not have much time.

Talk to you soon

The WW tracker still shows my car on the boat, but according to the turandot's log, the boat's left port already (unless they just highlight the whole line at once). OL still shows my car En Route, too.

2-3 weeks at the VDC? Hard to imagine unless you are getting something like driving lamps installed. 2-3 days seems more likely. I figure most of our cars will be on trucks to their destinations by the end of the week, say Thurs-Fri, and I might be able to get my car by next Wed (the 20th). Which would be a real treat, since it's my last day at my old job. And I gave myself a week off (to play with the MINI!) before I start the new one!

WW site now shows a couple new lines when I looked up my VIN. I was "Discharged" yesterday afternoon and "Delivered From" this morning. I guess that means i'm at the VDC.

no extras on my MINI. I think my MA is a bit "don't give much crap..." type of guy. I'll probably tell him off by the time I pick up my MINI.

COngrats on your new car (soon to arrive) and your new job...great timing

I e-mailed my MA to see if he had any estimates on a pick-up date. He said my MINI is awaiting inspection and transport and he's sure it'll be at the dealer with-in a week.

I'm still holding out for this saturday... we'll see how it goes.

I'm still expecting mid next week. Anything earlier would make me really happy, but I'm also waiting on my check from PenFed (should be here by Fri). Can't get one without the other!

I'm having a guy from work take pro level photos of mine when she gets here. I don't want to make the next guy that orders a PW/PW with sport stripes have to look as much as I did for high quality pictures .

My MA told me the Aug 29th. It's going to be awhile for me. Hopefully it will be sooner.

Stephie,
My MA from Rasmussen said the same thing to me a week or so ago. Was this recent?

That sounds great Supergreg. I checked the mini site and it said my mini is at the distribution center also. When I viewed the page source I saw this: Estimated+Delivery+Date%3A&DateDate=8%2F16%2F2008

Did you get your delivery date from view page source and did your
info look like this. It looks like this is saying that my delivery
date is 8/16. What do you think?

I heard from my MA on Aug 7th, to plan on a Aug 29th delivery date, but maybe sooner. I'm hoping for sooner. I think there are 4 or 5 of us from the Turandot going to Rasmussen.
