And yours made it to your dealership already? WOW Where is your dealership? Maybe I need to contact my MA!

Back to the regularly scheduled programming

My MA called the trucking company and GG will be delivered tonight after hours. He said I could pick her tomorrow after 1pm. So, I am going to work 1/2 day tomorrow and leave at 1245, head over to the dealership and sweep GG off her feet. I am sure it will be mutual love at first sight!

A little bummed it's not today but it's only one more day --- I THINK I can make it!

The dealership is Classic Mini outside of Cleveland OH. They weren't expecting the MINI today either...

Can't figure out what the deal is with the Nav Code they are trying to get. We didn't order Nav so this doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

It's awesome your Mini showed at the dealership and the WW site hasn't even shown our cars to be discharged at the port yet. As far as the Nav code, I agree it doesn't seem right. Good luck.

Okay, duty calls. I know all about that, spent 24 years in the Army. It'll be sweet when you get it though!

Thanks Hawkeye. This my 4th Mini but that doesn't make the wait any easier. Thanks for your service. I was in the AF for 15 years before I got out and switched over to Civil Service. 27 years now and still going

I'm counting down with you psichick! it's a painful process but hey, 41 hours is easier to digest than 41 days - we are in the final stretch!

Update from my MA - She forgot that we didn't have Nav, the Service Dept schooled her. No Nav Code required, we're set for delivery at 10AM on Saturday!

Which is good, because on the way home my GTi threw a Check Engine light, I'm hoping it's just an O2 sensor...

Sounds like your GTi is throwing a fit because it knows it's going bye bye.
