I am talking cartoon type here LOL

 

I may go with it. Come to think of it, a previous vehicle did have a name, but it was a name given to it by others rather than me. It was a 1974 Chevy Nova painted '71 Corvette yellow with black stripes down the hood and hatchback. They called it the Bumblebee.

 

Milo is hanging out at my dealers warehouse! So excited.

 

My god, that's so NOT FAIR!!!

I'm thrilled for you, really, I am, but...

I hate waiting.

But I'll get over it. Eventually.

 

Pictures. We want pictures, please.

 

Pictures you shall receive, as soon as I pick him up on Thursday.

 

Next time someone asks me what's the numero uno advantage of living in joisey I will remember Milo and you, my friend. Hell us westerners' cars havent even hit the canal yet ..... C'mon Isolde!

 

travis yr car and mine are sooooo close in exterior and interior options and colors-- I really look forward to seeing them, esp. the interior.

 

On the plus side, plate teconics is in the process of remedying this situation. A few hundred thousand years, and you folks can drive right over to Southampton and take your Mini.

 

Hmmm, yeah, that does us a helluva lotta good right now!!!

 

me too

 

wandrur, you and sequence get to live in places like Boulder and 'Bear Valley Mountain' (how cool is that?? ), places some of us only get to visit for the odd ski vacation now and then. There's a price attached to having good stuff like that...

And as I recall, you also learned that your cars were tidily loaded onto those so-organized WW ships and setting sail while the rest of us poor east coast, week 39ers were still biting our nails and fretting about our MINIs being abandoned on the dock, but in fact waiting for those no-info K-line ships!

So, hey...enjoy the anticipation and be happy for TravisNJ...and hopefully the rest of us here in the midwest, too! Besides, while you're waiting, you'll have more time to order your new detailing kit, grill badges, seat covers, special floor mats, stickers, glove box organizer, boot organizer................

 

truth! I doubt my iPod aux cables or my Euro Arm Rest will be here before I take delivery.

 

I *did* say I was happy for him here:

I mentioned above, I just hate waiting. And I'll not be shopping for additional things given that the MINI represents my financial expenditure for the next 5 years or so and will require serious planning to go anywhere beyond the purchase itself. The bling can wait.

Sure, we live in this beautiful place. But any beauty can fade with age when new reasons for enjoying it are lacking. If I had an attractive professional opportunity come down the pipe next month, I'd likely pack up and go. It's just geography for me right now.

 

wandrur...just razzing you! I'm pretty tired of the wait, too...and I really haven't had nearly the wait some people have, as I ordered from a new dealership, just as the 2009s started to roll off the line.

But do post pictures ASAP, TravisNJ - they do help with the waiting.......

 

Bear Valley Mountain fire lookout is actually in Idaho, up in the remote far NE section of the Boise NF, near Lohman. it's a real cool 80 foot lattice structure with 360 views to die for, including the Sawtooths. One benefit of being with the USFS was seeing cool structures like this, although the horseback and helicopter stuff got old... (BVM is 4 wheel drive accessible)

Actually the USFS rents out renovated historic fire lookouts to lodgers. Bring yr own water, tho!

 

Yes T the ball is in yr court!!

Welcome to the party, Bob. I am not sure if they warned you about the fine old NAM tradition of car-lending. Hmmmm. Can I borrow the Roadster for the weekend? Yeah, I'm lying but I LOVE that car.

 

Yo Bob big welcome, yr the 4th denverite on this support gripe er group! a few of us have tossed aboot the idea of a photo op with our cars, please consider joining us!

 

I just got a call from my dealership. Yep, ready to be picked up. I am buried in work this week so it may be Saturday before I can get it.

Sweet!!! Sweet that it's there, of course, not that you're swamped.

 

OMGosh what are you doing!? go get it right now!!! ack stop reading this post and get going!

If I get the call while I'm at work that Jarvis is ready they could not PAY me to stay in the building... priorities man!!

 

LOL!!! I have to make sure I have a job. I don't believe there is a bail-out plan in the works for folks who buy new cars and then get fired for missing work. Maybe I should call my senators.
