Heck yeah. If your getting British get it Right! I have lived here and driving the Land Rover and mini for nearly 14 years. I put 478k miles on the Land Rover so I'm pretty used to driving RHD.LOL.

You must be very excited to be getting your mini!! I have some pics of Southhampton dock 22 the day I dropped the vehicles off off. All the mini's you see were destined to be loaded on the Tombarra.

I am sooooooooo excited. It's my graduation gift from the parentals. I've never owned a new car before. It's so cool picking exactly what options you want in your car.

The Tombarra's schedule seems to have been pushed back a day. I guess they're spending an extra day crossing the ocean (according to the WW schedule page). As long as I get my car before Spring break I will be happy.

They were meant to be in NY on the 20th! The ship left on the 13th. Thats 11 days at sea...I might be able to swim faster than that.
Congrats on the gift your PArents must like you. Mine were like.."Get the hell out!". Sounds like they will be able to deliver before Spring Break.Just dont take it to Mexico Brother....thats a hot car down there!
