I don't think the pics are that bad. The car looks good. Nice and shiny newborn. Congrats.

Nice looking Clubman jacinf!!!

According to all I've read about the iPhone, I did not think they could take crappy pictures... I thought they were ALL great, high quality pictures.

It still looks great... have fun with your new baby!!!

First, that's an estimated date. That doesn't mean it's there yet. Also, it could take a couple days to get the car ready before you can come and pick it up.

Thanks, WinstonAllegheney. You're a regular Chloe O'Brien.
Welcome to the Pacific Ocean, Tombarra. Now all ahead full. Winston, Hawkling, and Chumahue are eager to get to dry land.

Well, that's what I understood to be the case. But the OL originally said that my estimated delivery date was 6/22, so I assumed (but you know what can happen there!) that when it changed to 6/19, it must have been delivered earlier than the original date.

Regardless, my MINI is probably at the dealership right now, and I'll probably be able to pick it up soon And that makes me very happy. In the grand scheme of things, what's a few days of waiting and guessing...

Taipan Manifest
I am just wondering if anyone is showing up on the manifest for the Taipan. "Pippa" arrived in Southampton on the 18th and the ship leaves on the 23rd but she is not showing up in the manifest yet. Is this normal?

Our Mini Countryman got on the Taipan at Bremerhaven when it left on the 20th and didn't show up on the WW tracking until this morning.

To check, go to: www.2wglobal.com/www/customerCentre/cargoTrackingLaunchPage.htm
and enter your VIN in the cargo ID field, then select "Track." Hopefully one of these days it was say something besided "No records found."
