kanakaboy92 - When did you request them not to put the front plate on? I didn't really think about that when I ordered mine, but I'd definitely prefer not to have the bumper drilled if I can avoid it.

 

I told my MA the day I placed the order.. He stuck a note in my file, and when my car came in, he remembered not to put it there.
It was nice of him to leave a note on the car itself so when it goes through PDI the techs don't do it.

I guess as long as you tell your MA before it gets to the dealer then you'll be in great shape!

 

Just send your MA an email. It's something they do to the car at the dealership prior to delivery.

 

Thanks guys! I'll make sure I let my MA know before it gets here.

 

Also, Ninja Turtle...
I notice you're in SoCal,
Have you thought about joining SCMM or WCM?

 

Bugged my MA yesterday when I learned the ship landed...and again today to see if was on a truck yet...and it is!

He didn't see that it had left for NH yet. If so, then best case is I am behind the wheel tomorrow, worst case Monday.

Until then, I'm driving this bad boy:

Congratulations!
What a gorgeous car!
Hope that thing on your nose is clearing up...

 

You drive a bad boy... sorry, I don't see one.

And just to let you know, most dealerships take at least a day to clean up and prep your MINI before giving them to their owners.

Have some popcorn and relax

 

Added the link to the bad boy. I must go back and read how to insert the photo to the post...

 

LOVE the color!

 

Congrats!!!!!! Bet you're having fun!!!
:popc orn:

 

Mine's on the K-LINE California HWY, which departed on 5/30/12. It has an ETA of 6/13 at Brunswick, GA. Anyone else have a MINI on this vessel?
I think I have a name decided....but gonna wait till I see it to decide for sure! I think it's gonna be a boy....but my hubby says it's a girl!!!
Congrats to those of you who got your babies!!!

 

That's a great way to describe it. It grows even more intense the closer you get to the finish line!!

 

I hear that with the clear bra, I have mine going in to have DuraShield applied tomorrow. Kind of a necessary evil with the MINI front end lines.

If your agreeable with their solution you'll be getting your car home soon. Make sure they don't forget your front plate bracket!

 

I hadn't really thought about it yet...but I'll definitely check them out.

 

I think all of our MINIs are together on the California Highway! I'm not sure when my MINI made it to the port, but ASKMINI has been telling me for a few days that it was in transit, and the OL just updated my status to En Route. Since it's not registering with WW, all I can figure is that it left on 6/2 on the California HWY and the tracking systems were just behind (which is what a lot of people on this forum have said). My MINI boarded in Southhampton and will get off in Brunswick (well, I'm assuming that since I live in central Alabama).

It's nice to travel with you, TELY and Rejeme! (Hopefully our assumptions are correct). Well I'm just giddy now!!

Now I have to go find some new wheels! Apparently the ones I ordered aren't actually available in a 4 bolt pattern, despite what the web says...

 

Thanks Tely! I was blown away when I got the pictures, it looks a lot better than I expected.

 

Sorry I'm responding now to a number of posts but somehow I must have passed right over some. I'm rude that way!

TELY, yes I'm having great fun and you will be too.
As far as your naming your MINI, there are 2 keys so your husband can call your little boy Sally if he wants when he's driving but you'll know better.

LittleWing, thanks for the acolades.
That thing on my nose your talking about, it turns out is a stalk. All of us Pumpkinheads have one. Who knew.

ALL4JOE, I went to see what bad boy you were driving and all I saw was one of those Fjords, um...Foordz, hmf...Ferds.... well at least the tires say Cooper.

fatboy97, Wuzzzaaaaaaaap!

 

NinjaTurtle, I see you decided on a name. I take it you didn't like Shelly.
Since Raphael will be under your wise direction I guess that would make you Splinter.

 

Well, I picked it up this morning... Let's just say that I couldn't stop smiling when I saw it for the first time as they moved it into the showroom. It was such a weird but amazing feeling. It had a sweet 6 miles on it (forgot to take a picture of that, but oh well.). Stalled twice but made the 40 miles back home!

 

That, sir, is B@D @SS!

 

Seattle MINI doesn't put the front plate holder on them at initial delivery. They ask you what you want when you came back in to pick up the plates. At least that's what they did with our 2 cars. I opted for the tow hook license plate adapter for the wife's and will probably do the same when my plates arrive. Now the hard part, what vanity plate to order!

 

Mine is coming to CA before arriving here in the Seattle area. Current status on OL is Awaiting Transport.

 

HAHAHAHA. I was thinking the same thing after seeing those prior to and including Punkinhead and flanders (still trying to catch up so there may be more deliveries). Very nice guys. I hope mine looks as purdy as yours.

 

Congratulations InVisib0L!
The Chili really stands out with the Eclipse Grey, well done.
