In the past all Z cars were made in the USA and shipped out. I think they now make the X3 and X5 here.

Went to WW website and had them add my e-mail to their notification alerts where they will e-mail me when FEDORA comes back into range.

LOL! me too! My family has taken to labelling me obsessive/compulsive about 'Scooby'.

Guess you have to be in to the Mini to understand it.

I am NOT going to get up early and watch for the boat...but, I am usually up by then anyway, so that REALLY would not be early...kinda normal and if I am up already well might as well watch for it ...just to make sure they don't unload mine yet!
