Got the call, car off the ship and in VDC Port Hueneme, couple of more days.

 

Congrats Surfink! Where's your dealership?

 

SoCal..

 

Jankjo... I'm getting mine at Hendrick Mini in Charlotte, N.C.

 

Hey kissbass,
I am headed down to NC in early December....hopefully in my new mini!

Yesterday afternoon I got a call from my a secretary at my dealer saying that my MINI had arrived, and I should call my MA to make an appointment to pick it up.

I got home really late, so I couldn't call until first thing this AM.
Turns out it was a mistake
My mini isn't there yet.

grrrrr arrghhh. I am in pain.

 

Man, that sounds like a cruel joke, maybe you can sue your Mini dealer for "Pain and Suffering"

 

Nah, no need to sue, they've connected you with your baby...

Just try and get nice floor mats outta them.

 

All is well!
It turns out that my Mini either arrived last night or this morning at the dealer. I am going to get to pick it up on Saturday after all!!!

 

Congrats, sounds like Saturday going to be a busy day for lots of people. I'll be looking for New Minis with Temp tags this weekend

 

Yay!
What a golden weekend for all of us.

No temp tags for me! We're doing it all tomorrow when I get out of school.

 

Monday for me.

 

Which dealership, Surfink?

 

Well... Almost weekend... Still, it's almost time for you!

 

MidnightMini,
I read about your drive home in the LB thread.
Yowza!
I'm glad the damage was minor!

I got Gizmo yesterday....I am in love...
I'm off to drive him around, but I'll try to post photos tomorrow.
I also have a reasonably funny tire story to tell...

I LOVE MY NEW CAR

 

I pickup Lil Blue Coop Friday morning. Spent yesterday adding Splash Guards and cleaning off the left over wax in the engine comp and on the bottom of the doors. Look even better in person. I have several small mods on order that should arrive next week so the modding begins. I hope everyone else is enjoying thier new Mini.

 

cool for you. Are the splash guards just magnetic vinyl?

 

Congrats lil Blue Coop!
What kind of mods do you plan to do?

I uploaded photos to my gallery in an album called Gizmo.

 

OH I know. It was so scary. I was shaking like a leaf when I got back to the dealership.

For those of you who are curious but dont wander over there... this is a link to the dramatic ride home from the dealership: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...=102305&page=8

 

Wow MidnightMini sorry to hear that, but glad to hear it was only a tire (and a rake) sounds like it could be much worse. I'm familiar with 128, used to spend some time in Boston (actually Bedford) years ago, I always hated that highway, and I can imagine it's gotten better through the years.

 

It's just such a pain. And I've been playing telephone tag with the owner of the company to straighten out what happened and get some money from him for my new tire. Yah. Fun.

 

I picked up my PW/W CooperS Clubman this afternoon. I am really thankful for all the tips and advice I learned on here. I have a good feeling about this car..Thanks,

 

Congratulations Surfink!
I can't stop driving mine.

 

I hope we all have a great thanksgiving and can enjoy our family time. Hope all have their vehicles at this time and be safe..Thanks for all the comaraderie and support, see you on the highway..Casey

 

I have tinted my windows, put on a clear bra,and switched out my antenna for a stubby. Almost have 1200 miles also.Digging my ride...

 

Very nice surfink!
I've got 2600 miles on mine. I put in the leather boots from redline and a Whalen shift machine. I also did the front/rear speaker channel swap.
I LOVE this car!
