angsty?

 

Must be one of those "rhetoric" thingies.

 

Hey, you started it with the angst, my friend.

Haha. Nah, it's more of a psychological thing, methinks. Of course, I think the best rhetoric accounts for such things. But who's to say? Sounds like a publishable idea to me...

 

It's at least a master's thesis, maybe a whole dissertation.

 

Already did a Master's thesis. Stuck to private prisons on that one.

But, yes, it could very well be a large project. I keep thinking of too many of those large projects, though...I need one that's doable in the time span of a dissertation!! Arg. Too much to think about sometimes.

 

I seem to have jinxed myself. I was so busy at work this week that I could not see my way clear to pick up my Mini until Saturday. I worked like a lunatic and left on time tonight for a change figuring I would pick it up and take a nice long road trip. The dealer hadn't finished with the final touches and the bank needed one more piece of paper. Oh well. Few more hours now.

 

^^Sounds like this.

 

So what happened to breaking in your MINI gently?

 

I like to break some rules.

 

Bravo.

 

OMG!!! This car is FUN. I picked it up early this afternoon. On the way home, a guy in a Subaru Outback tried to stay with me through a curve. Hehehehehe. Not a prayer. I blew right by him . . . I mean, I proceded in a safe fashion to pass the other motorist. I am going out driving for as long as I possibly can plus 100 miles. I'll be back later. Just talk among yourselves.

 

You're just plain evil! Glad to know what we have to look forward to though.

 

*clawing the floor* OMG! the site has been inaccessible for most of the weekend till now for me!

Glad to hear some of you have gotten your cars though. I still have a few more days. I wish I had some way to know how its going at the VDC or if its there... lol

 

A loooong, looooong wait still ahead... ::sigh::

 

Don't say that! I'm on the boat AFTER yours to the West Coast. Mine was built 10/1 so missed your boat by two days and then had to wait 11 days for the next boat. So, in my eyes your MINI is just around the corner!

 

While that's true, my boat just went through the Canal--nearly a week later than planned! But we'll all be happy soon enough.

 

At least this thread is active... Check out my Wk 49 thread.. Crickets! I think I am the only one on here with a Wk 49 scheduled build!

Those of you that have received your cars, Congrats!, I hate you...

 

We're trying...

It's exciting that each day brings us closer to uniting with our creations, but sometimes it's hard to remain upbeat when I hear of week 40 folks taking delivery!!!

I'm okay. Really.

Happy weekend, all.

 

tell me about it. Ive been MINI-less since mid-July (after 4 years of lemony-fresh fun) and like U noobs this waiting is starting to grate at me.... If I get wind that Isolde is going slower to save fuel I will go mad I tells ya MAD

anyone wanna wager whose car will be delivered last? it'll either be us denverites or the fella way up in the Oregon country. anyone here getting their W39 build from Portland or Seattle??

 

Mini is... OK, stop driving and post some pictures!!

Seriously - enjoy, for all of us. (But do post some pics! )

 

That's too bad about your Wk 49 crowd... But you're welcome to hang out here! (I vote for David in Germany being last to get his car! )

 

I'm picking my MINI up from Portland.

 

Pictures tomorrow, I promise. I have been driving too much to stop and actually take pictures. I'll take them while I am working on Monday.

 

Well I just spent 2 days cleaning out the garage and aranging all of my spare LBC car parts to make room for the new arrival. I guess it is kinda like 'painting the nusery'. So now I am sore from head to foot but I believe I have room for the MINI. - I will be 'squeezing' 5 cars into a 3 car garage. I will post pictures after the MINI arrives and I have them all tucked in.
