Mine either Papestar, we were both NYC Manon drop offs no? Can hear a "Hold yer friggin horses," with a NY accent in my head!

 

Called yesterday...my Mini should be ready today or tomorrow. YAY!

 

My manfriend drove by the dealership and snapped this pic! I'll see you soon, my new little monster!

 

Awesome! I know you are jumping up and down while you're waiting!

 

Yeah... I'm thinking next week at the earliest for me.

 

Best of Luck CHICKLET !!!

 

Thanks papester! Now how did you do that fancy signature pic of yours?!? Looks great!

 

My Mini will be ready for pickup tomorrow! Yay!

 

I was showing a friend the tracking websites and saw this screen... it appears to show that the Tomar docked in Port Hueneme at 10:45 THIS MORNING?

 

Me too! Might be going, if not, then next week.

Edit: Next week it is... not sure when.

 

Awesome Ian! Can't wait to see your Mini!

 

Just brought my MINI home for the first time. He's dreamy and so much fun to drive!

I haven't chosen a name for him yet - we'll need some more quality time together first.

Tomorrow at 8:30am I take him for his clear paint protection film to be applied. Yes, it will be 51 degrees. Yes, I do plan to have the top down!

 

Day before Thanksgiving with the top down in Philly! Wonderful!

ps I wish I had thought of leatherette as animal free

 

Papestar, I'm finally at the VDC, how about you?

 

Yay fox220!!! We are waiting for more pics!

 

Still shows "en route" for me :(

I waiting to here back from my MA on when I can expect delivery....

 

I'm sure it'll suddenly be there, and you won't know what to do with yourself

 

Well I may be having dealership problems now....

 

Probably the holiday rush, everybody's trying to get out of town for thanksgiving.

 

No thats not it!! Worse then that.

Can't say much more until the dust settles.

I'm not happy!

 

ouch.

 

papestar, what happened????

 

I can't say much more now...I should know more by this weekend.

It is truly amazing how the new car business is. They talk about ethics in the Financial sector, Ethics in the Car business must be a 4 letter word

 

So sorry Papestar! Hope it all works out for you in the end! You need your beautiful car!

 

A young girl was trudging along a mountain path, trying to reach her grandmother's house. It was bitter cold, and the wind cut like a knife. When she was within sight of her destination, she heard a rustle at her feet.

Looking down, she saw a snake. Before she could move, the snake spoke to her. He said, "I am about to die. It is too cold for me up here, and I am freezing. There is no food in these mountains, and I am starving. Please put me under your coat and take me with you."

"No," replied the girl. "I know your kind. You are a rattlesnake. If I pick you up, you will bite me, and your bite is poisonous."

"No, no," said the snake. "If you help me, you will be my best friend. I will treat you differently."

The little girl sat down on a rock for a moment to rest and think things over. She looked at the beautiful markings on the snake and had to admit that it was the most beautiful snake she had ever seen.

Suddenly, she said, "I believe you. I will save you. All living things deserve to be treated with kindness."

The little girl reached over, put the snake gently under her coat and proceeded toward her grandmother's house.

Within a moment, she felt a sharp pain in her side. The snake had bitten her.

"How could you do this to me?" she cried. "You promised that you would not bite me, and I trusted you!"

"You knew what I was when you picked me up," hissed the snake as he slithered away.
