The wait is almost over for most of you! IT IS DEFINITELY WORTH THE WAIT.
I have a perma-grin every time I turn her on.
I've got NM springs and an H-Sport sway bar waiting in the garage, and need to set up a tint appointment for the rear 3 plus sunroof.
Thanks for the support this thread has offered.

So, the puzzle is almost complete. I sold my Z28 today. It was a 
moment because she had been with me for so long, but I'm looking forward to my Mini's arrival and the joy that he's going to bring me! The worst part of the whole deal though, is I have to deal with driving a Toyota Yaris until he gets here!

I pulled into the Taco Bell drive through like I was driving my old Jeep Wrangler. Scraped it after giving my order while moving around to the window. What a difference a few inches between wheels make.
If I wasn't a manly man I would have cried.
Well so what if I did, no one was watching.

I literally had a dream before the ship made it to the Panama canal that it was in the Yakima River and there I was, along with people standing around as if they were waiting for it to catch a ride to work, watching it go by. Now the Yakima river is about 2.5 hours south east of King county where I live. Anyone know how to interpret dreams???It means that this has all been a dream, you have not yet ordered your MINI and must do so as soon as you wake up.
But then if this has all been a dream, then your dreaming this and that means that this never happened either.
If this never happened either then it could mean that your still a small child dreaming of things that may never be.
If that's the case it's time to wake up and get your little butt to school!
Hawkling will be home in no time deejay, I can't wait to see some pictures!

I know how that is, I scraped the edge on my driver side rear 5 star bullet.

Hello fellow motorers! I cleaned my garage this weekend, swept all of winter's mess out, then hosed the floor down, scrubbed, rinsed and squeegied it, then let it dry and put down Winston's carpet in his garage space. He'll be home soon whoo hoo! did I mention I got a few blisters in the process? It was definitely worth it

So while picking up my boyfriend after he dropped off his car to have his brakes upgraded this morning, I had no choice but to stop into the MINI dealership, which just "happens" to be right next door to the brake shop. A quick drive through the parking lot revealed no new MINI's recently offloaded, however, on my way out, I saw a Waggonner semi truck about 1/2 mile down the road AND it was going in the direction of the MINI dealership Could Winston have been on there? I had no time to stalk, as I needed to get to work, but I can't stop wondering if he was on that truck?

That's obviously how it was meant!
And speaking of stalking...all of the latest tracking information still shows that the Vega Leader is due to arrive at Port Hueneme today. However, she is still not visable on Marine Traffic. Unless she is taking the WAAAAY long way around Catalina and the Channel Islands, I'm betting that he's not arriving at the port today.
Not that I'll see him for at least a week...but another day is ANOTHER DAY!!!

Got a call from my MA an hour ago to report that my CM has been "released to the trucking company" but could not verify that it was in fact aboard a truck. I'm hoping it gets on one today, and that there are no delays on I-5 between Port Hueneme and San Diego!

Don't worry WinstonAllegheneyIII...
When I was still waiting for Nightcrawler I had my wife pull into the dealership on a Friday night we happened to be driving by. The truck was expected earlier that day but I didn't hear from my MA.
I pressed my face against the garage windows to see if I could spot my MINI. I couldn't, but turns out it was there...just out of sight from where I was standing.
I say...look if you can!

So, gotta take the wife's LR4 into the shop. The brake light indicator is constantly on and the park indicator is constantly flashing. Looks like a sensor problem after a little googling. As Hawkling approaches, I think her LR4 is getting a little "sensor"tive. Just had to say that.

I found the info through here. http://sagaweb.2wglobal.com/AppSchedules/
You can "Search by Port" with Southampton and Port Hueneme as the origin and destination. It shows the next ship will be "Figaro" departing on 7/5 and arriving at Port Hueneme on 7/25. So we probably will not see our MINI until end of July or early August.
