I'm picking mine up tomorrow! I was able to take the day off so i will be motoring a day sooner than i expected. I can't say enough great things about Roadshow MINI and my MA. Xenor, I'm guessing you will be driving yours this weekend.

 

That's awesome! Super jelly!

 

I feel like a kid waiting for Santa.

 

In preparation I have already had a check cut from my bank. I hope my sign of faith will get the car available to me this weekend.

 

Congrats! Post pics when you get it.

 

Our CMS arrived at the port in Georgia finally!!! Now to get on a truck!!! Dealer says they have cars waiting since the 9th at the port!??!?!? WTH??

 

I expect to see some pictures.

 

Motoring rules!

Excited for all you future motorers!

 

Ask MINI has revealed this morning that my vehicle is "released to a carrier, and is awaiting transportation to the port of exit."

Turns out the schedule for the boats has changed quite a bit from when I took a screen shot of it. There's actually a boat leaving tomorrow and one leaving next Friday - and the length of those voyages has dropped to 11 and 12 days respectively.

No idea if it has a chance to make it out on the 25th. I have seen people with timelines where they have both awaiting transport and at port on the same days. So there might be SOME chance, right?

 

Woohoo...OL updated...and I have a VIN ...I need to celebrate these small small steps !!! Rudeman422 any word on yours???

 

Still no date. You must have got a better spot from your dealer than I did. Maybe next week will be more promising.

 

I'll send a lil prayer up to the mini gods LOL

 

Picking mine up tomorrow at some point (before 5pm). My wife is being super difficult on when she can drive me to the dealership to pick it up....sigh.

 

Hey mine is awaiting transport to the port today also! It's all very exciting to me! I'm going to check the ship schedules right now.

 

Congrats and I can't wait to see the photos!

 

Picked mine up today and and drove it three hours home. I love it! It was so worth the wait. I'll post pics tomorrow when I get some good ones. Glad yours is in xenor! Hope you love yours as much as I love mine.

 

Awesome! Congrats! Got the call today that that car was at the VDC and will be arriving at dealer this week for a Saturday Sept 1 delivery!

 

Woohoo! I called ASK-MINI and it finally had a date. Estimated completion date of 9/4/12.

 

Congrats Bazinga!!!

 

This is great news Rudeman!!!!!!

 

I do love it. Being 6'2" I can still comfortably drive and have my 2 year old in the back...soon to have a infant seat back there too. I love the flat load floor, and storage underneath, and sport button makes a nice exhaust gurgle!

Pics!

In the dealership at delivery (roof racks were thrown in, but I took them off when I got it home, too noisy for daily use):




At home in the garage, wearing two layers of CG Jetseal, and three layers of GC Pete's 53' and Wheel Guard (sorry for the iphone pics):

 

Looks great!

I have not heard of Jetseal or Petes... Thought we weren't supposed to wax the car so soon - or is this something different?

 

Thanks!

You have a point, but it had been baked a bit at the factory and it was also waiting for a while during transit/port. Dealership already waxed it when I showed up, so I just took their stuff off and put mine on. Won't hurt it.

 

Mine is in production!

 

SWEET....Did you ask for the roof rails...I guess i am not used to a dealer giving something ...so was wondering did they say hey youwant roof rails..or hey we gave you some roof rails because it makes the car extra sexy...LOL
