Thanks NinjaTurtle and fatboy97! These last couple days are going to be killer.

I've had my 5 year old give the MINI its official name: "Nightcrawler".

I like that name a lot. Very fitting with the look of the car. Good choice!

Here's "Stormy". Please forgive my no so great pictures. The lighting at the dealership did not do her justice. I am so glad to finally have her home.

Does anyone have photos of a bra-less MINI that's been driving for a spell. Curious about the abuse it gets from normal driving.
I can tell you I had mine done Friday not wanting to chance Pumpkinhead getting carved before it's time. With what these cost the price of protection is justifiable. It will help maintain resale value (as if).

MINI Motoring gives all NAM Members a 20% discount on all sales, keep that in mind when looking.

Looking good Mcptpv155. Have you put on any more miles or are you just going to leave it like that?

Funny. I have put a few more on her. But I won't put any serious miles on until I have her clear bra put on.

Thank you. I think the dash is just the black checkerboard.

ASKMINI says my car is at the port awaiting a shipping vessel. Is there anyway to know how long it will sit there? Is it possible its just missed a boat and could sit there for a week or so? My Vehicle Inquiry report says its going to port BALPOA.

Did you check WW's website to see if it was scheduled for one of there ships? I don't know what BALPOA is... is that east or west coast? Where are you?

hi! this is my first post here, so i hope i'm doing it right. i've been visiting the support group for a few weeks now to help me get through the agonizing wait. it's been so fun to follow along as everyone receives their rides!

my ice blue clubman s was born on june 7th and i hear she is now at port waiting on a boat to baltimore - looks like she missed today's. anyone else "in the same boat?" (bad pun intended)

Mine spent about a week on the docks waiting for a ship to Baltimore... but it's a fairly fast trip, and a lot of ships go to Baltimore.

The vessel name and voyage number aren't showing yet on the WW site, but at least I know he's in the system!
Sweet.

Congrats to All4Joe and Mcptpv155. You mini's look great. I especially like the 80 degrees. I hope when mine arrives in Tacoma, it too can say 80. LOL.
