My owner's lounge page shows my car still at the VDC. Wonder if my car has a Doppelgänger at the VDC? . It seems the webpage is several days behind the "actual" schedule.

My MA called today at noon to let me know my car was in and would be available tomorrow. I'd give em a call and find out where your car is mate, you'd think they wanted to sell you a car or something .. oh ya .. they are selling you a car ... BTW what dealership are you dealing with? Seems like they're kinda lame with keeping you in the loop on your car.

ok I'm feeling very very stupid.

On my cell phone is a message left at 4:30pm today (it is 10:30pm now) from my MA (George Gregory, good guy I like him) at NWMINI in Tacoma.

"Mondo" (named after my coffee stand favorite latte drink, not the 'Mondo Mini' seen here on the forums will be ready for pickup Friday and I'm supposed to call him back on his cell and tell him whether I want chrome rally lights with white covers or black rally lights with black covers.

Oh, decisions, decisions.

Man I bet Friday can't come quick enough huh? I'm looking forward to the trip up to the dealer to pick up my car tomorrow. I already have the camera on the charger, and I'm figuring out what songs to put on the iPhone for the trip home .. hum .. Back In Black has to be in there somewhere.

Good luck on the choice of rally lights!

thanks- I had them ordered already or I'd have waited and gotten the discount with PSMINI motoring group up here...ohwell. The MA is doing the wheel and tire install swap for nothing and I really appreciate that. I love your MINIs as much as the one I picked out...all amazing machines. Much respect to you guys.

I have chrome mirrors and so the black rallys would look like this:

I'm looking for a pic of a chrome side mirror with chrome rallys. Can't find one just yet..think I prefer chrome with the side mirrors but I'm not crazy about the white covers..though I'd probably have the covers off most of the time.

Anyway...just can't sleep now....jeeez. check your phone nico. lol. Must have been great to see your car today...with the packaging and all, that is so cool...

I do fostering for the SPCA in my spare (ha-ha) time and I let our 10 year old keep one of the fosters this time around--a little Chaweenie named...drum roll please....COOPER! Ok, we are going a little crazy here....j.

Jumping in late here as a Week 19'er. I made the mistake of test-driving the Clubman in March, and really liked it. Altho my family thinks I'm nuts, I odered a Clubman S the third week of April - it completed production 7 May, shipped out on K-Line MICHIGAN HIGHWAY on 15 May, arrived Charleston 28 May, went thro the Charleston VDC this last weekend, and is due in to the dealership today. Will take delivery prob Saturday, and will trade in my super MCS #1. My Clubman is PW/B with black JCW airscoop, black bonnet stripes and matching tail stripes. Convenience/Cold/Premium packages, LSD, Chrome line+piano blk+ blue line, blk lounge leath seats, MINI HiFi w/HD radio, Xenon HL, black JCW airscoop, rear spoiler - in essence, a lot like my MCS - which I love.

Lol, I would have loved to see the look on your MA's face when you asked that question, CThoma. Little do they know that we have educated ourselves to the nth degree via NAM.

Can't wait to see pictures, Brad!

Oh and pictures of my car are in my gallery. I picked it up yesterday and now it is sitting happily in my garage.

So who is the dog? You have a Golden? If so, we do as well. I am kinda an animal lover (everyone calls my home Janet's Zoo).

question: if your MA isn't there when you take delivery, do they really NOT get credit for the sale?
