He's on his way!

Waiting on my MCS..... he's currently crossing the pond (I've been tracking him like crazy!) ..It's safe to say this has been the longest week of my life, but even the waiting part has been fun!!

Congrats, SpyCar! Yes, it is a long and painful waiting process! Hey, just wait until it gets here and the Vehicle Distribution Center gets a hold of it! :> Hope your wait is not too long once that step arrives! Ours just got held up for almost three weeks (longer than the build in England) because the driving lights were on back-order.
It truly is fun to watch the entire process unfold.
What part of Jersey are you in? I am originally from South Orange!

WooHoo SpyCar520, keep your chin up. It'll be more than worth the wait! Remember to post pix when you pick 'him' up! YAY!

The ship has been "out of range" for days, but scheduled to dock in Halifax tonight, then Newark/NY by Wednesday... Hoping it gets through the Vehicle Distribution Center quickly, but I've read a lot of horror stories so i'm trying not to get my hopes up!

I'm in Cedar Grove

Waiting is SO painful...but the minute you see it, touch it, drive it...you forget all about it. Post some pics when you park it...can't wait to see it. Congrats!!!

Congrats on the MCS... as the song goes, "The waiting is the hardest part".

When my MC came in just over a month ago, it was at the NJ VDC for 3 days, so hopefully you have an equally short wait. Which dealership are you working with?

I'm working with MINI of Morristown.. I think so far I have lucked out with the amount of time it has taken thus far - The order went in 6/14 and from there it seemed to fly through everything else... Hopefully it's in and out of the VDC.. it's so close, I can almost smell it! I'm getting very anxious now!

My ship finally anchored in NJ! Now to the VDC..... any idea how I can track it from there? The Owners Lounge definitely isn't accurate, it says it's still awaiting transport!

You got a red bow at delivery? Man, how does a girl getta break? Very nice, sort of the whole 'red carpet' treatment! Congrats on your new MINI, and may I compliment you on your choice of the greatest color in all the land, lovely Laser Blue!
