So it was 5pm yesterday and some strong thunderstorms had just finished pummeling just about all of Maryland. I'm dropping my VW off to get some work done and then catching a ride down to the MINI dealer. I pull into the VW dealer lot where my friend works when I get a call that the storms had knocked out power to the MINI dealer, and it wouldn't be back on until at least 8:30pm. There was nothing they could do and I would have to reschedule for Saturday. So here I am, waiting to get the other things done this morning that I had planned before I catch another ride to finally pick up my MINI. The good news is that I'll still be able to get the 1.9% over 60 months. I better be sitting in a MINI by 3pm this afternoon!

 

OH NO!!! That sucks! You are having the absolute worst luck with the ordering process, hopefully that means you'll have a problem free ownership.

 

I signed some paperwork and I'm locked in on the 1.9% for 60 months . The delivery truck didn't show up. So I will be taking delivery on Monday or Tuesday.

 

Jmhouse - tough break...you'll be motoring soon !!

Mark-at least you got the good financing and only one more weekend to get through before you're motoring too !!

Will get some pics later today and post for you all.

 

well, one more day. getting in touch with humans at bmw/mini's finance on a saturday is apparently impossible. so i'll be going back on monday. i got to sit in it and play with it and everything. i was so close.

 

And to think, you went to MoA over MoT. Even though you are closer to MoT.

 

to be fair, it wasn't their fault they lost power friday. the whole broadneck peninsula is weird about losing power. i wouldve had the same problems with mini's finanacing at either dealership. and the annapolis dealer is way more convenient for picking up the car since my parents live within 2 miles of there.

now of course i already told myself multiple times that if i had just ordered from towson i'd probably have my car by now. oh well.

 

Are you going to use MoA for your service or MoT?

 

Not quite sure yet. I've heard good things about Towson's service.

 

Mark, did you hear from your dealer yet? Is your MINI ready to be picked up?
jmhouse, when you planning on heading down to MoA?

 

I called my MA during lunch and the truck didn't arrive .

 

As my 22month old nephew would say "Oh no!"

 

Probably in a couple hours. I'm at work right now and I want to finish up a few things. I know they're really busy with a ton of deliveries.

 

finally!



a little less fish-like:

 

It looks GREAT!! Well worth the wait!

 

beautiful! ver' nice!

 

thanks! the metallic paint is difficult to take photos of and accurately portray the color. but i think i did as good a job as i could. it looks great in person.

 

Matt, we should take our MINIs out and get some shots of them sometime.

 

Looks good.

 

My Cooper arrived at the dealership yesterday . So I'm going to work a half day and pick it up after lunch .

 

Yay! Is that everyone who's been active, finally in their cars?

 

Just need to wait for Mark to goto lunch! Then that is everyone.

 

sweet! about time everyone got them.

 

MiniGRM, you still havn't posted any pictures! We neeeeed pictures.

 

Bill (MA) and me, being goofy.



OH YEAH!!!!!


At home.
