Hey all:

As promised, pictures from onboard the Tombarra taken by one of the Chesapeake Bay harbor pilots. Give us a shout if you recognize yours!

(mine was already off the ship by this time... )

 

I have been trying to the "integrity" (WDC6925) whle I have been on Vacation and it appears that they have not called in as of yet or at least since the 19th at 0 hundred hours.

Does anyone know where the boat is???

 

Those are great. Mine should be getting of at brunswick today. There is no tracking at the brunswick port to I am dying not knowing what is going on.

 

According to the Port of Charleston vehicle report, the Caibbean Highway is no longer docked.

STaSISnRI, Integrity is scheduled to dock on 10/26/08.

Awesome photos! Its the best we can get to being there and its nice to know that our little beasts were teaching those fancy schmancy cars a few things about "sea legs".

Fingers crossed that I'll see my boy by Nov. 1.

 

My wife's MCCS is in purgatory between the Caribbean highway and the VDC. Our MA doesn't have a bead on it yet.

 

For those of you on the integrity here is the current status of its location...

I can not wait to be drivin' my new buggy!!!!!

 

Hey all:

My date is Monday! I am headed to the dealership that morning. Anyone else get the word from their MA?

 

No word yet from Teresa but I am emailing her right now! Maybe I can get my car on Monday afternoon if all works out.

HooKnew

 

Sounds like you are a Richmond VA pick too, HooKnew?

 

...Well I have just received an Email...

MY BUGGY IS AT THE DEALERSHIP!!!!!

So I guess I was tracking the Vessel on its way out of the VDC Port

 

Yep. I'm picking mine up on Monday afternoon. I-64 westbound, look out !!!

 

That is so cool that you make that connection! How random!!! All good things come with MINI's!

 

Congats to all getting theirs this coming week. Please post pics for the rest of us smucks still waiting on ours . I figure I'm still about 3 weeks out, but the boat is supposed to hit the panama canal (okay, not hit but arrive at) today and that is a quite a landmark for the trip.

 

Congrats! I talked to my MA yesterday morning and he said he didn't have any word on mine but expected to see it on a truck Monday and thinking I could pick up Wednesday. I had to have my lights put on at the VDC.

If you see my MY MCS there, wave to it.

 

Will do! Got an email from my MA confirming my car is at the dealer. Looks like Hooknew and I will both be drooling as Teresa walks us around our cars tomorrow!

 

That's awesome!! As of today, mine is no longer lost at sea after a longer-than-expected swim. I'll be joining the rest of you who have taken delivery soon enough!

 

Congrats bhelton and hooknew! Please post photos so we who are still waiting can live vicariously through you!

 

Oh, rest assured, I will be bringing my camera with me. I can't wait to see it. Looks like we can be expecting pictures from hooknew and OctoberMCC as early as tonight though. Can't wait!

 

First look! My MA just sent me a picture of her. I can pick her tomorrow!!!

 

Yay!!! She's lovely!! Congratulations!!

 

Whooot! Seems like not that long ago you started this thread and now you'll have your MINI! I love the driving lights and color scheme, very nice!

I figure I'm about 2 weeks (maybe plus a couple days...) out so that isn't so bad.

Congrats and post more pics!

 

Yay!

Congratulations BHelton. Looking forward to many more of pics of Stella.

 

WHoo HOO!

Picked up the Blue October today. Teresa at Crown Mini in Richmond was great. Sadly, it was raining most of the day so I got to see how the wipers work!

Before I knew the MA was taking a pick for Bhelton I took one of Stella when I saw them roll her out. Also, I know that a 4pm pickup was happening.... Hooknew? Bhelton? Who was the other lucky motorist??

First impressions of my Mini:

- Same great handling, pep and ride that I enjoyed on the test car
- I LOVE my color combo - Glad I picked it!
- Audio on standard system: not as bad as some have said, not as good as my former car which had a 16 speaker Bose 5.1 DTS system...(duh!)
- iPhone synched perfectly and all address book entries came with it. Nice! Ipod works flawlessly.
- Headrest..ugh...I felt like Quasimoto most of the way home since the headrest hangs forward and makes us tall people tilt our head forward like a hunchback. Once I got home, I reversed it and inserted it back in the seat and now...NICE.....

I may have more thoughts (in case you all care!) and will post them later. Picks of my ride and Bheltons attached. Good luck to everyone on their deliveries.

 

Congrats to you guys!
