That's right, as a good Pumpkinhead should!

 

So, who wants to help me become the ultimate stalker?

My Countryman is currently at the Baltimore VDC. I would assume it'll be there for a few days to a week.

I just found out I need to go to Baltimore for work, and will be there Sunday - Wednesday.

I need to find out where the VDC is, and if it's possible to at least walk around and see it in a lot, or see it through a fence, or from the roof of a nearby building.

 

Don't they call those laser stripe graphics or something like that?

They do help to make the appearance of the Hampton unique. Love the wheels too!

 

Same here, nothing. I did hear about the goodie bag though. Don't know what it consists of but I did get an email to take a survey about my experience.

Oh no.... I drive like 2 miles away from the vdc on my way home from work. And my car arrives at the port Monday on the Tirranna. I think I will need to go home a different way to stop thinking about how close Skyrider will be to me!

 

My MA did give me a bag with some goodies when I picked up Raph...a water bottle, 4(!) key chains, a hat, and of course, a BULLDOG!!!

 

Pardon me for sounding bitter but, if it weren't for me winning 6 years worth of back-pay from disability that the government did all they could to keep me from getting there would be no Pumpkinhead. I paid in full, in the neighborhood $48,000.
What did I get or have I gotten from my dealer or MINI USA? Not a ^%*ing thing!!!!
Scratch the above, according to my bank statement what I did get is charged $96.03 for the loaner I had from Monday till Thursday.
Thank you Classic MINI, thank you MINI USA, you saw my money and ran!

PS. Thank you too US Government for sticking it to me long enough to buy Pumpkinhead a vehicle in which I no longer have to operate a clutch with a fused ankle and trashed spine whilst still being able to enjoy a spirited drive.

PPS. I think next time I'll finance, maybe then they'll show some appreciation for the sale.

 

Thanks for the info, but I won't need it. Just got an email from my MA. My Countryman arrived at the dealership today! I get to pick it up on Thursday!

 

in my best Napoleon Dynamite impersonation...
"luckeeeeeeeeeee."

 

Congratulations!
Here's your last bag

 

Just checked WW again and I am now Booked on another ship!

But get this my Mini's B-Day is July 4th and it's now going to cross the pond on the Independence II LMAO

 

Should be getting my mcs any week now when the new local dealership opens. Was lucky enough for them to put my custom order in with their initial inventory so it will be there opening day :-). About a month extra wait than going to another dealer, but I would much rather support the local guy as well as a better price ;-)

 

Great news!

Nothing wrong with keeping your money in town and in your pocket!

 

 

 

I think I need to go back and demand a bulldog

 

Me too, sista!

 

I don't think you sound bitter. We are here to listen to you vent and provide you support when needed. I didn't get any goodies either. What I did get is a car that I truly love to drive. Winston makes me smile, as I'm sure pumpkinhead does for you.

Why did you have to pay for your loaner?

 

Pmknhd, you DO know that these dealers make money off the financing deals... AND the extras they sell like extended maintenance, warranty, tint, mask, etc. They especially make lots on the extended warranties. No surprise you didn't get any free swag (because you didn't finance). I'm also going to assume didn't sell you many extras. My car was a little less than yours... I think about $45,000 and the only extra I got was windshield warranty. Maybe that's why I didn't get any free swag

 

I bought 2 hats, rubber mats, 2 license plate frames, wheel locks, racing jacket and the garbage bag.

I can't even wear the racing jacket until I loose some weight, skinny little Brits! The waist is tapered in like it might have fit in my teens or 20's.

I am being reimbursed for the loaner. They said it was because I took the coverage so that if something happened it wouldn't go against my insurance deductible. Oh yes, and that I smoked in the car. I guess that little leprechaun under the seat saw me take a hit off of my electric cigarette and thought it was real.

 

I guess I'm going to have to find a stuffed Pumpkinhead to be my companion!
